If they weren't going as fast as they could, Rogue doesn't notice - it had been a while since she'd had a leisurely drive, and she's more focused on the questions Eric was asking her. "I was on my own for a while when I was seventeen, after I left home," she tells him. "It was a rough time for me, and Rogue just stuck afterward." It wasn't a lie, just not the whole story.

She glances over at him and then turns away again, her tone turning a little darker as she continues, "I didn't really have much choice in the destination or traveling period."
