Race, on his way back with the drinks, caught the tail end of Ershey's attack. "I'm starting to feel thankful I ain't got any siblings," he said with a smirk, distributing the new round of beers and settling down with his. "You two always this, uh...tender and loving?"

Now every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep.
'Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.

"Yeah," answered Ershey, grabbing her beer. "You should've seen him when he was thir --."

"THIRSTY!" interrupted Risk before Ershey could say more. He took his beer and had a long swig, determined to to relax for the night.

"I want you to know that you are both very strange." He threw back about half his beer. If they were going to get drunk, they might as well do it right.

"Yup, sounds about right," shrugged Risk.

Most of the newsies were on the strange side, after all. "What happened with Mush, anyway? You said he knows about you two, and everything's fine now?"

"Now that he knows we're siblings, he's relieved to know that he ain't doin' anythin' suspicious around me," shrugged Ershey as if it were nothing. She couldn't understand why Mush was still on edge about her brother.

Risk rolled his eyes and took another swig. "That boy's too protective of you."

"Hey, I talked to him best as I could," Race said with a shrug and another sip. He was actually feeling a little suspicious of Risk himself; he seemed to be pretty big on alcohol, Ershey behaved oddly around him, and Race had known Mush a lot longer than either of them, and trusted his judgment to a certain extent.

Aloud, he said playfully, "Y'know, we're not really knocking these back too fast. We might hafta come up with a way to speed things up a little." Been a while since he played any drinking games, after all.

"Yeah!" shouted Risk, pumping his fist in the air. He ran off towards the bar to order another round of drinks.

When Risk was back with their new beers, Ershey sighed and looked at the two boys. "Really? We're doin' that tonight? I can tell you already that I'm not wakin' up early enough tomorrow mornin'." And with that, she caved in and took another beer.

"C'mon, it's either that or the two of you fighting all night," Race pointed out. And doing those weird sidelong glances and awkward silences. "So how are we gonna go about this? I ain't played any drinking games since Brooklyn, I don't even know what the kids are doing nowadays." He smirked.

"We can drink every time we say a certain word!"

Ershey opened her mouth to answer but was interrupted by Risk's sudden flailing.

"I know!! Whenever Adri rolls her eyes at me!"

And with that, she rolled her eyes at him. "Oh, crap," she muttered, realizing what she just did.

Race smirked and took a drink. "Also whenever you blurt out something that gets on her nerves," he suggested innocently. "And whenever I...sigh or throw my hands up or make any kinda gesture of exasperation at the two of youse." This was going to be a fun night, all right.
