Remy lights his cigar; its flame illuminates his red eyes as he watches his young friend eagerly checking their apartment's door. "Chere," he calls, "come away from dere. She be here soon enough."
The glare X sends him tells him that his advice is neither wanted nor appreciated and that Jubilee can not arrive soon enough. Remy thinks about offering her a drink but quickly decides against it. Alcohol is the last thing X needs tonight to further cloud her usually sharp and wise decisions.
Meeting like this is getting to be an obsession for the two girls. Remy would have been glad to see them connecting with any one else. He wants them to be loved, but finding love together, now that Jubilee is a Vampire, is more trouble than he wants his young friends to have to face.
Yet, as he sees X's face light up like a kid's on Christmas and knows her look means she can now smell Jubilee's scent as the Vampiress approaches, Remy can't help the sad smile gracing his face. He'd tried talking to X about her building relationship with Jubilee and the trouble to which it can lead, but he'd lost the girl when he'd mentioned the L word. She'd told him she had no idea what love was, and though Remy had tried to explain, he'd still fell short. Watching the girls together now, however, he knows that they both know what love is, even if they don't yet realize it.
The End
