Mush let out a chuckle, stuffing his hands in his pockets.
"Noooooo." Mush was such a bad liar.

Race snorted. "Seriously, Mush? We've been friends for, what, three years now? Not counting the times you came to Brooklyn with Jack back in the day, and me and Rae would make fun of you after you left for having no poker face?" He shook his head. "Something's up. Spill."

"Well... I think you know somethin'. What is it?" Mush didn't want to come right out and say it. He hadn't said it yet, and he was kinda scared.

Race blew a couple of nervous smoke rings. "Well, uh...Ershey said you've been tense about something." He glanced sidelong at Mush. "Something about a cop who was harassing her...said you helped take care of it." He'd try to bring Mush around to the Risk part later; he'd promised her that he wouldn't tell Mush she'd mentioned him. Besides, the whole murder thing seemed a little more pressing.

"Yeah... Uh..." Mush didn't know what else to say. "Well, Ershey was right. And now everything's okay."

"Everything's okay?" Race echoed skeptically. "Look, I know you and me and Blink don't exactly sit around and talk about our feelings much, but didn't you think this was maybe worth a mention?"

Mush shrugged, staring down at his feet. He actually had no idea what to even do right now. He felt guilty for not telling them, but he wasn't sure why he hadn't.

Blink, less inconspicuous than Race, burst out of Tibby's in a full run and came up to the two.
"Sorry, it's just. It's the Mayor's DAUGHTER! What's crackin'?"

"Nothin'." Mush replied, though his tone said otherwise. He'd let Race do the talking.

Race was impressed that Blink had managed to tear himself away. "Mush and Ershey bumped off a cop and he's telling me how everything's fine," he whispered, because you didn't really blurt these things out in public streets. He gave Mush a look. "And also how something's up with him and Ershey, 'cause...honestly, it's just all over your faces."
That wasn't much of a stretch; he was a poker player, and he probably would have known they were having issues even without Ershey's tip.

"What?" Blink asked curiously, looking at Mush. "Is it Sapphy's brother or somethin'?"

"No, I don't even know him." Mush replied, smacking the back of Blink's head.

Race gave Blink a weird look. Ready as he usually was to blame him for anything, he was pretty sure Copper had nothing to do with this.
"So what is it? Some other guy?"

"This guy named Risk." Mush muttered through gritted teeth.

"Really? I've met him a couple times. He seemed all right. You don't really think he's making a play for Ershey, do you?" He looked to Blink for support. "You're prob'ly just stressed from the whole..." He lowered his voice. "...murder thing, and you're taking it out on some guy just for being friends with Ersh. Don'cha think?"
((Hahaha, Psychologist!Race.))
