Vulpe
Vulpe zipped her backpack closed and rested back on her heels for a few seconds. Soon, she would leave America, go back home to take up the responsibilites she was born to.
A Rossinni would always rule the Thieves's guild of Rome and Italia.
She got up, putting the backpack over a shoulder as she walked through to the loungeroom. She dropped the backpack near the door to grab as she left. Now to wait for Jean-Luc...
Gambit
"Leaving so soon?" Gambit joked.
He walked over to her, a mug in each hand.
"I thought you might like some coffee before you left."
Vulpe
"Grazie," Vulpe said.
She took the mug from him and sipped the coffee.
"Grazie for putting up with me."
Gambit
Gambit smiled.
"No problem, cheri," he said.
He sipped at his own mug.
Vulpe
"If you get a chance...yo should come visit," Vulpe said.
"Italia is beautiful. I'd be glad to show yo around."
Gambit
Gambit nodded.
"I may well take yo' up on dat one, cheri," he said. "I hope yo' have a good trip."
Vulpe
Vulpe smiled at him, pleased, then there was a knock at the door. Jean-Luc entered and he inclined his head slightly to Vulpe before going to hug Gambit.
"Bonjour, Vulpe. And how are yo, mon fils? You are both well?"
"Boun mattina, M'sieur LeBeau," Vulpe said.
Gambit
Gambit returned the hug briefly, then pulled back and grinned at Jean-Luc.
"Very good," Gambit replied. "And yo'self?"
Vulpe
"Bien, bien," Jean-Luc said.
He looked at Vulpe sharply.
"I don' know how yo did it, but yo did. May I be the first to greet you as the Matriach of the Thieves Guild of Rome, and of Italy?"
"Grazie, Patriach LeBeau," Vulpe said with dignity.
Gambit
"As how it shoul' be," Gambit said seriously. "And may da friendship be'ween our families continue for generations ta come."
Vulpe
"Ah, the plane awaits," Jean_Luc said.
"And I must return to N'Awlins. When I have a chance, I will come and see you again, mon fils."
He patted Gambit's shoulder in a fatherly fashion.
"Be seeing yo, Gambit," Vulpe said, picking her backpack up and putting it over her shoulder.
"Bye, Red."
Gambit
"'Ave a good trip," Gambit said. "See yo's soon."
Red jumped to Vulpe's shoulder, nuzzles her neck as if in farewell, then jumped back onto Gambit's shoulder. Gambit grinned.
Vulpe
Vulpe walked out to the car, turned and waved before getting in.
"Au revoir, mon fils," Jean-Luc said.
"Stay safe."
He left and the car drove away.
