Race just stared at her arm in silent horror for a few seconds. Of all the sick fucking stories he'd heard from kids all over New York, this was possibly the worst.
"I'm so sorry, Rae," he said finally, looking up at her. "...you got away from him, though?" He was nothing if not optimistic.

She nodded solemnly. "Its why Jack brought me here...and the nightmares." Raven licked her lips. "He really didn't kick me out, he didn't think he could protect me."

((Aww! That makes me love Jack more, haha.))
"And he figured Spot could?" Race nodded thoughtfully. "Well, he was prob'ly right. Spot's devoted as hell when it comes to protecting Brooklyn newsies and Brooklyn territory." He smiled reassuringly. "'Sides, you got me selling by you, and I'm a lot more formidable than I look."
Privately, he thought that if any giant thugs came for Rae, he'd probably grab her and run like hell across the bridge to Manhattan.

Raven raised an eyebrow at him. "Right, you look like you could really bring a man down." She teased.

"Spot's only an inch taller," he informed her with great dignity. "'Sides, I've got secret weapons."

"Yep. And poker. I will challenge all your enemies to a very intense game of poker." He smirked at her, then unsmirked. "Seriously, if you see anyone lurking around, let me or Spot know...or Sammy or Freddy. You got a whole family looking out for you now." He thought about that a moment. "Well, all right, we're more a Family kinda family if you get my drift..." And being Italian, she undoubtedly would. "...but anyway, you got us."

"I'd rather have you'se than my real family any day of week." Raven said with a smile and then looped her arm in his. "C'mon, let's go hijack Spot's teddy bear and make him squirm."

"I'm staying outta that, 'member?" But he went with her anyway. A new friend who appreciated quality pasta and wasn't afraid to harass Spot? How could he ask for more? He just wished he could get his hands on this brother of hers.

"You wimp!" Raven said with a laugh. "What could he really do to you?"

"That's not the point," Race explained. "It'll damage my flawless reputation of being a loyal friend. If he asks, you found that teddy bear all on your own."

"Fiiiiine," Raven said with a laugh. "You know you're the only one who's made me laugh in a really long time?"

"I try my best," he said with a smile as they approached the docks. "Hey, here's your chance to practice the awkward stare."

"OH I am so on that," Raven said and as they walked she awkwardly stared down everyone who stared at her.
((LMFAO so ridiculous))

((Love it))
Race snickered as the other newsies' gawking turned to expressions of alarm, and they quickly looked away. "Perfect. You've got it down," he told Rae. "See, things are looking up. We'll make a real Brooklynite of you in no time."
