"Er... That's all right. I don't want responsibility like that. I like just bein' a newsie." He nodded definitively, hoping she didn't talk more about it.
((Do it.))

"But you could be well-known all over Manhattan!" said Ershey brightly, her spirits already a lot better.
Risk, however, was on his way to go sell some papers. Still mending his hangover, he stared at his feet as he walk, not noticing who he was about to just run into.

"But I don't want that --" Mush was suddenly cut off as a guy ran right into Ershey. He tugged Ershey's hand to pull her toward him, getting her out of the way.

"Whoa, uh, sorry," muttered Risk, finally looking up to look at who he almost ran into. His eyes widened and his feet froze in place when he realized who they were. "Uh..."
"Er, that's alright," mumbled Ershey quietly, glancing at the two boys.

Mush's eyes immediately narrowed, and he pulled Ershey even closer.
"Let's go." He muttered.

"W-wait, Mush, right?" called out Risk quickly, running over to the couple before they could get away. He didn't know what he was doing. Then again, he never was, but there was no harm in trying. "Look, I know you don't like me and all but I promise I'm not tryin' to steal Ershey away from you or anythin'. I swear. That's the last thing I wanna do." 'Cause she's my sister and that's just weird...
Ershey stared at Risk in awe, unable to do anything other than wait for the boys to figure things out. With Mush's grip, it wasn't as if she could've gone anywhere else...

"Why should I trust you?" Mush asked hesitantly. With all that he'd learned from Wraith, he was actually kind of scared of Risk. But he didn't want him to know that.

Risk shrugged. "'Cause I haven't done anythin'?"

Mush couldn't really argue. He couldn't say 'Well, I just don't trust you.'
So, he just sniffed and crossed his arms stubbornly over his chest.

Risk let out a frustrated sigh. It seemed as if Mush wasn't going to give unless he knew the truth... and he wasn't about to expose everything when he hadn't talked to Ershey just yet. But then, he needed Mush to somehow get on his side...
Ershey, however, looked at Mush pleadingly. She touched his shoulder gently and hoped he would somehow budge. "How about we all... eat together?"

Mush sighed. He was hungry.
"Okay."

Ershey grinned brightly. She had a feeling food would help the two boys get together.
"Really?" said Risk in surprise.

"Yes, now let's go before I change my mind." Mush said, gritting his teeth.

"Right," muttered Risk, nodding. He didn't want to push his limits so he simply followed them to Tibby's. Once they were seated, Risk glanced at Mush. "I, uh, can cover for us..."
"You'll what?" said Ershey, surprised that Risk would offer something like that.

"Just let the man do what he wants." Mush said to Ershey. He was torn between being a man and letting Risk spend all his money... But in the end, he cared more about making Risk suffer.
