Script gave him a smirk and looped her arm through his, giving his shoulder a pat. "The least you can do after breaking my poor, fragile heart." She sent him a wink, wanting to get back on good footing with him as they walked back to the bar.

He let her keep his arm, although he wondered if she could feel the tension in it. She was the one and only newsie he'd met who had no concept of personal space, and yet he had a feeling they'd be spending quite a bit of time together, whether he liked it or not. And it wasn't like he completely disliked it. She was kind, open, honest--pretty much a breath of fresh air, except for the touching.
"I doubt it's all that fragile," he teased, ordering them both drinks and glancing at Jack and Moonshine. "I wonder what those two are up to. Looks like they might be plotting world domination."

She took a full chug of the beer, feeling like a little liquid courage was warranted at this point. "By the way they're scanning the crowd, looks like they plotting female domination." She smirked. Both of those guys were easy on the eyes, but her eyes kept drifting back up to look at Goblin's face. She regretted that she'd come off as pushy, she hadn't meant to. But there was just something about him that tugged at her.

Moonshine watched Jack a minute, drinking his own beer. "You're thinkin' I'm a bad guy. I know, I come of that way sometimes. I don't mean it." He took another swig. "Don't get me wrong, Jack. I love the ladies. I also respct 'em enough not ta hurt 'em if I can help it."

"That's actually halfway decent of you. You should talk to Blink, he's trying to start a harem." Jack said with a laugh.

"Well, they'll have their hands full with that. Newsgirls mostly aren't that easy to dominate," he said with a smirk, clinking his glass to hers and taking a swig of his own. He scanned the crowd too, no longer looking for someone to take Script off his hands--he was just people-watching, like always.

While he watched the crowd, she watched him, drinking her beer. "Most of us just want to be worshiped and looked after. Doesn't seem like a whole lot to ask for, if you ask me." She felt warm from the booze and the crowds, and pushed her hair away from her face. She moved a hand absently to her blouse to undo a button, opening her collar a little wider to let in some air.

Moonshine laughed appreciatively. "Sounds like my kinda guy." He lifted his glass in mock-toast. "So, who else is around here ya think I oughta meet? Oughta make a night of it."

((We need to get Kathryn and Tara in here soon. ;D))
"That can be harder than it sounds," Goblin laughed. "And it seems like most people want more than that, but maybe I'm reading into 'em too much. That's kind of a habit of mine."

Script tilted her head at him, considering. "Not all of us are so bad, Goblin. Some of us don't have alterior motives. We just...are." She met his eyes, chewing her bottom lip while she tried to get a read on him.

"I'm starting to get that idea," Goblin admitted. "But honestly...mostly just from you."

She smiled at him, perhaps a little coyly, eyes on his. "Well, right now, it's just me and you anyway. So maybe that's all that matters." She moved her hand slightly, just enough to touch one of her fingers to one of his on the counter.

"For now," he agreed, polishing off his beer. Good thing it took a lot to get him drunk. He was off-balance enough as it was. He eyed the audience gathered around the stage and pointed out one figure to Script. "See that girl watching the show? She's from the lodging house, name's Macbeth. She wants to be an actress. Thinks no one knows, but she comes here alone all the time. And she's got a thing for Risk, who's secretly the long-lost brother of Ershey, who's dating Mush, who doesn't like Risk 'cause he thinks he's got a thing for Ershey."
The number of things he knew about people who didn't even know his name was really kind of disturbing.
((To bed with me! G'night! <3))

Script blinked and nodded along, trying to follow. "Wow, sounds...dramatic." She laughed, "Impressive how much you know about what's going on in the House."
((Night!))
