"Jumpy?" Did Ershey's perfect boyfriend do something?

"I don't really know, 'cause I ain't talked to him in a while." He shrugged. It couldn't be that big a deal. This was Mush they were talking about.

"Aren't you two best friends or something? Shouldn't the two of you be hanging out all the time?"

Race laughed kind of incredulously at that. "Uh...I've got a lot of friends? And a girl? And he's got Ershey, so..." Granted, he had been feeling a bit guilty about neglecting the other two Musketeers, but it seemed odd that a guy he'd just met would point it out.

Risk shrugged, deciding that it was too much thinking for him to handle. Normally, he would've dug deeper but he knew there was something missing there somewhere.

"I think I'm goin' to swear off drinkin' for a while," muttered Risk as nausea hit him again.

((I love how he's repressed the whole Raven thing.))

"So whose fault was it, yours or Macbeth's?" Race joked, wondering how two such newsies came to be falling over drunk together. He continued hawking headlines--the papes weren't selling too fast, but then, he'd probably hit the Turtle Dove tonight and sweep in enough cash for a week.

((Hahahah, I didn't even notice! Yay Risk's selective hearing

))

"I'd say the first half of the night was me since I invited her and all," he explained as he looked over the headlines. "Then the second half of the night is definitely her fault 'cause by that time, she was pushing drinks at me." Alright, not pushing but that was how he remembered it.

Race chuckled. "She prob'ly wanted to be on an equal footing. Just miscalculated the amount a little."

A six- or seven-year-old boy came up and tugged on his sleeve. "Are you gonna do card tricks?"

Race sighed. "Yes. Yes, today I will do card tricks." He set down his papes and his hat, pulled out a deck of cards, did some fancy shuffling moves, and then told the kid to draw a card and put it back, after which he correctly identified it. A small crowd had gathered by then, and coins showered into his hat. He put the cards away as they dispersed. "Yeah, sometimes that pays better'n papes."

"Are you sure you should be a newsie? You're pretty good at that," said Risk sincerely. ((Gotta run! Till next time!! <3))

Race grinned. "Thanks, but people get bored pretty quick once I've run through all the tricks. I can do other things with cards that have a lot more potential, but if I did that full-time, I'd definitely get myself killed...by Sapphy, if no one else."

((See ya, love!))
