[Surprisingly, perhaps, Scott seems quite the opposite of looking upset, he seems... relieved? Because despite the fact that he has no idea who Mister Sinister is, the main thing that he focuses on is the fact that Jean is alive in that other reality. Maybe things are complicated with their Scott, but at least she isn't a flying cosmic force that's travelling through space.
She's still with him-- with the other mutants. Still herself.]
No, that's... I'm glad.
[He smiles a little, despite everything, his posture visibly relaxing. He's happy that Jean is okay in one timeline, even if she's arguing with his other self. As Gambit said, they'll probably pull through.]
Probably some of the best news you could've told me.
[ Gambit's eyebrows go up. Apparently things are just as complicated with Scott and Jean in another universe too. Maybe that shouldn't surprise him. ]
If you say so. [ He's a little curious but asking Scott about Jean can lead to long conversations that Gambit usually regrets. Scott's his friend but they aren't particularly close. ]
Ya need anything, ya can call on Gambit, yeah? Always got ya back.
[A simple offer of trust, probably expected, maybe even instinctual, but it still brings up a feeling of gratitude in Scott. Another small reminder that he isn't alone and even though he doesn't know Gambit all that well still, it's important. He's lucky that he has people he can trust in this unknown world.
Two X-Men having his back is better than none.]
And don't forget to reach me if you need anything.
