[After getting the water he so badly needed, he sat down across from her.]

...Anyway, the point is, I DID manage to hunt and kill something. Then it fell off a ravine when I was trying to haul it up. At least I still got something to remember it by.

Yeah, but did y' eat anythin'?

[It's easy enough to say, offering an easy smirk as she took another bite of the very bland meat.]

Okay, maybe I got overzealous and forgot a few things. Like food. And water. And a compass.

Like I said -- you're a damn fool.

[Because, oh, she wasn't going to just invite him o join her and have a bit to eat. No. She'd just wait. Make him ask. If he even would.]

I mean, it's not a huge deal. It's an old story. A guy sees a cute girl, tries to talk her up, gets into a conversation about super-powers, then gets lost in the woods for a few days due to some bad luck.

Happens to every guy.

[His eyes drift to her food, causing his stomach to make a low, rumbling noise under the table.]

So...you gonna' eat all of that?

[Rogue arches an eyebrow, and her lips quirk into just a bit of a smile. He hit the magic word. He called her cute.]

...Jus' for that?

[She makes a motion to a spot near her little campfire.]

Nah. Have some. Ain't the best, but I never said I could cook. Jus' that I could hunt.

Woo-hoo!

[He raised his arms in triumph before scooting over closer and grabbing some for himself. The man's clearly got no manners, as proven by his rampant consumption of the meat.]

This is fantastic, are you kidding?

Never really learned how t' cook, but, hey. It's hot.

[Hot, fresh, and at least cooked to the point where it's not going to kill her. She knows that much. Which is about all she knows.]

I'm not too bad at it, myself. Not exactly a chef, but when you live alone long enough you have to learn.

Never lived alone, so I never really learned. Still, picked up a few things from livin' with Irene.

Friend of yours from back home?

My... My mom.

[Or used to be.

Or was supposed to be.

Or... Another complicated matter.]

...Ah. Sorry, if it's a sore subject. I can't really remember mine.

More just... weird. Like, really weird. But... not important.

[She shakes her head, trying to smile just a bit.]

Never mind, really. Isn' important.

Thanks for the food, though. Seriously. I did get a little full of myself, back then.

I grew up with Good Ol' Boys. Someone writin' a check they can' cash? Pretty common.

[And she chuckles a bit at it, leaning back as she takes another bite of the cooked bird.]

Always funny t' see 'em fall on their ass, have t' say.

Ha ha! Well, I do plenty of that.

You know, most people don't think it, but I am actually pretty competent when it comes to getting things done. I just get in a lot of trouble when left to my own devices, if there's nobody to keep me grounded. Back on the ship it was Jim, and then my crew.

Hey, I totally buy you'd be jus' fine huntin' a bounty. Huntin' to eat's just differen'.

[Because there it wasn't a "bring in alive" or "bring in dead in any condition."

It was probably a bad thing she already didn't care much who she associated with here. Bounty hunters, thieves, pirates... Whatever didn't just shoo her off.]

I thought a forest would be easier, without all the buildings and vehicles and human traffic to get in the way.

Whole differen' worlds.

[She can't help but smirk again.]

Also, that cliff really snuck up on me.

Funny how that works, huh?

[Easy enough, and another bite of food. Along with a drink of water.]

[Gene takes a few minutes to choke down a rather large hunk of cooked meat, before gulping down his water.]

So, what did you do for fun, back on your world? Any crazy stories?

Some parties, concerts, things like that.

[But for fun... For real fun...]

Been thinkin' 'bout a roadtrip.

Hm...Well, I guess you could say we're all on an extended sea-trip.
