[It's charming, until he sees the ugly green monster in action. She's an absolute force to be reckoned with when she's angry, that's for damn certain. Though there are few things he could do to inspire that sort of rage in the mutant, and she hopes he's intelligent enough not to cross those obvious lines in his right mind.
That scrunched nose look shouldn't be so endearing, but she knows she's pulling her chain a bit, the smile just adding to her own pleased expression.]
Do ah? [She feigns innocence, eyes wide and some attempt at doe-like. Attempt being the operative word there since the boop of his finger interrupts her sly attempts at sass as she pauses to watch the incoming finger with a slight furrow of confusion before blinking several times to refocus back on him once the finger's gone. Excuse him. One does not boop the untouchable mutant that can yeet him into the nearby planet's atmosphere with great ease.
As a counter to his rudeness, the leg hooked over him pulls him closer, shifting her body just enough to slot his hip conveniently between her thighs just as snug as a bug, her thigh draped conveniently over his crotch. Teasing and bantering comes easy to them, and it's relaxing her.]
An' ruin the element of surprise? Tsh. Don't be a fun thief. [Let them think her some innocuous woman and eat their mistakes nice and slow when they realize she's actually a Big Gun, as Remy would probably put it. Both men seem to share the ability to put their pride aside and let her take the violent wheel as necessary.] Ah will accept the compliment, however.
[At his question, she quiets and lets her finger trace along his chest absently.] Yes an' no. Ah was born ah mutant, an' mah mutation, mah powers, activated when ah was a teenager, kissin' for the first time. [She hesitates, dropping her gaze to watch her finger that had stilled, the sadness and guilt visible even without the bond.] Ah put him in a coma. He died later.
[She thinks she told him this already, but it just rolls out again as she relives a bit of that trauma.]
When ah pull life force ah also pull people's memories, their powers, an' if ah hold on long enough, their psyche ah guess is the best way to put it. Learned that the worst way possible... Twice. The first time was a real mess. Ah was a real mess.
[It's a long story with the Brotherhood, the Avengers, and Carol even before the X-Men. Rogue's not certain he wants to hear it.]
