"Am I okay? Heh, I could be worse." Gambit says, indifferently. You know he's actually in pain and needs a shoulder to lean on.

Rogue tricked him, well, not exactly. She just kissed Magneto and he saw everything. He is hurt, because today he was going to declare his love for her. What a fool he was. You are his teammate and best friend since he joined the X Men. You were always in love with Gambit, but he has always—and continues—to be in love with Rogue, blinded by Rogue. For a girl even he can't touch.

You know he deserves better than that girl. "Just because he can touch her does she have to be in love and be with him?" Gambit asks, more to himself than to you as he leans on your shoulder. There is no doubt, Gambit is a great man, sweet and charming in love with a woman who doesn't even pay attention to him, "just friends" Rogue said a long time ago.
