Ershey couldn't help but smile as she reached up to touch Mush's cheek.
"Aww, Mush, you know it'll take more than that for someone to make me leave you."

"I know that." He muttered, closing his eyes at her touch. "Doesn't stop me from hating the guy."

"Just give him a second chance, alright?" said Ershey pleadingly. Risk didn't seem like a harmless guy. He was just drunk, that's all. "I swear he didn't do anythin' to me. You'll be the first one to know if somethin' happens."

Mush sighed before looking over at her, his forehead wrinkled.
"Look... Ersh. I trust you. I believe you. But... I really don't wanna give that guy a second chance." Who got drunk during the day, anyways?!

Ershey looked at the ground in frustration. She couldn't understand how someone so harmless like Risk could rile up Mush so easily. Then again, Mush got along with everyone and if he didn't like Risk, that was saying something.
"Okay," she finally said after a couple moments. "What do you want me to do? Avoid him?"

"Yeah, that would be great." He replied. He didn't want to actually control who she was friends with, but... Something about Risk just did not sit well with him. And if being a newsie and living on the streets taught him anything, it was to trust his instincts.

"Really?" said Ershey, surprised. She didn't think that Mush would be that serious about Risk's supposed intentions. Then again, her and Risk had just met...

"Ershey, there are guys out there who aren't like me. They lure girls in and they do awful things to 'em. I just don't want that happenin' to ya." Okay, maybe that was going overboard, but that didn't really matter. He was just being an overprotective boyfriend.

It was then that Ericson flashed in her mind. Ershey sighed, realizing that there might be a possibility that Mush was right.
"Alright, fine," she said quietly. "But don't think I'll be avoidin' every guy you think is dangerous... I wouldn't be able to do anythin' around here."

"Hey!" Mush replied, laughing a bit. "That's not true! I don't care if you hang around Race or Jack or Specs or Skitts... Now, Blink, that's another matter."

"Blink?" she repeated, finally cracking a smile. "Aww, he just needs a girl, that's all. So, uh... are we alright now?"

Mush's smile faded and he let out a sigh.
"Yeah, we're alright." Didn't mean he wasn't jealous or angry toward Risk anymore.

"Yeah?" smiled Ershey, tiptoeing to her arms around him. She really didn't mind avoiding Risk. Although, in the back of her mind, she knew it was a horrible idea, she'd do it for Mush and Mush only.

"Yeah." He muttered, pulling her in for a hug. He hoped she realized that if he ever saw her with him again, he would seriously blow his top.

"Okay," she said, giving him a tight squeeze before pulling away. "Now, smile for me, please? I hate seein' you upset about somethin'."
