Spring. Yeah. That's a good thing, bub.

For a gruff guy who doesn't seem to like anything that isn't a beer, a cigar or a kid in distress, Logan does enjoy April and May. Warm, not hot. (Hairy Canadians just don't get comfortable in extreme heat, y'know.) So while 65 might be a little cool for other Mansion denizens to enjoy the place's outdoor pool, it suits him just fine ( Read more... )

The Cajun can be taught. Not to smoke inside, at any rate. Been chased outside too many times for that, and he really is trying to turn over a new leaf. Be on his best behavior. Other tried and true cliches. Ten AM isn't exactly Gambit's favorite hour of the day, but it's better than eight, so he'll take it.

Which explains why he wanders out, cigarette in one hand, lighter in the other, and pauses before he flicks his Bic, so to speak. "Well, if dat ain' a case f'visual pollution..." Not said in truly mean spirit. Heck, it might count as flirting with someone else.

"Ya catch yer reflection in the pool, Cajun?" asks Logan without opening his eyes. His hat is knocked back, though the brim casts a slight shadow over his features. "Hair of the dog's in the cooler."

He smirks, though he can't help but find the dig a little funny, and lights the cigarette. "Why y'put y'shavin's in d'cooler, Logan?" More politely, he asks, "Not American, neh?" The beer, he means.

In return, Logan smirks at the answering jibe. Puffing on his cheroot, the Canadian replies, "I didn't say I'd pissed in the cooler, Remy. You know I don't drink American crap."

Neither does he drink the import version of Molson. What's in the cooler is the real deal.

Jean flies off the side and into the water, knifing though the wake left by Rogue's fast movement.

She falls into a more traditional breast stroke, the water being pushed away from her face as she surges along. From the side, it looks almost like the prow of a boat is sliding in front of her, and telekinetic extensions from her arms help Jean to move quickly.

As the two women glide glassily through the pool water, Logan grunts to Gambit, "Ain't about which wins or loses, Cajun. 'S about watching two redheads get wet, hot 'n bothered about beatin' each other in a race. Thinkin' man's mud wrestlin'."

"Never liked d't'ought of mud wrestlin'," Remy admits. Or confesses, maybe. Isn't that supposed to be every man's fantasy? "Don' mind d'slippin' around, but in mud? Look like a mess t'me. Now, d'cleanin' 'em off part, dat could be a whole lotta fun."

What? What else are they going to talk about while they're watching?

Of course if Rogue were hearing this, she'd likely roll her eyes and leave them to each other. As it is, though, she's focused on taking breaths at the right time so she can do a flip turn at the far end of the pool. With one of the four lengths of the typical race between the two done, and they're looking fairly even.
