"I think that's the least of Mush's worries right now," she sighed, wondering how he was holding up. She hated bringing in Mush with all her problems, especially after how he dealt with Ericson. "He didn't really tell me... Risk said something about covering it up? Getting the spotlight off of us? I don't know... but with the connections he has and Goblin's scheming..."

Race raised an eyebrow, forgetting about his own guilt for the first time since he realized what he'd done. "Connections?"

Oh crap. Seems like Race wasn't the only one having trouble keeping secrets. "Let's just say... Risk knows some people?"

"Uh...okay." Race was now convinced the guy was in the Mafia. "Well...let me know if you need any help. With anything. At all. Ever. Or expensive presents, or tips on horses, or...y'know, anything!" He felt horrible about this. He didn't usually blab his friends' shadiest secrets when he was drunk, but it had been on his mind for so long now, and they'd drunk so much.
He finally saw the half-croissant in his hand and dramatically returned it to her, though he did take a rather large bite out of his own danish.

Ershey laughed softly, taking the croissant back. "I think the best you can do is be there for Mush. Y'know how he gets... I can't help but worry especially after how he dealt with the whole Ericson thing and now with this..."

"I'll do my best," he promised, closing his eyes happily as he nibbled his way along the sugary crust and approached the sweet cheese center of the danish. "I oughta do something with him and Blink anyway...it's been too long."
((Just for the record, my own obsession with cheese danishes is out of control.))

((I can tell Haha!)) Ershey nodded. "The three of you haven't really had a Three Musketeers moment in a while, huh?"

He chuckled and shook his head. "I've kind of been back and forth between Sapphy and Rae. Who are both pretty much my favorite people ever, don't get me wrong, but I could definitely use a night of mindless fun and endless mocking and really strange inside jokes."

"And boys," chuckled Ershey. "But how you been though? With Sapphy and everythin gelse?"

"Not bad," Race said with a shrug, going kind of poker-faced. He'd only just talked to Sapphy about her current issues, and it had really only made him worry harder; plus, Script's hints that she might be hiding something from him were still nagging at him. "Rae's got herself the smartest baby ever," he bragged instead. "He's learning all the poker hands already. And did you hear Spot finally asked her to marry him? 'Bout damn time."
He reached the center of the danish and shuddered slightly. Delicious. "So how 'bout you and Mush, aside from all this drama? And, y'know, you in general?"

Ershey raised an eyebrow at Race when he didn't mention Sapphy. She figured something was going on but didn't want to prod any further. "I heard about that," chuckled Ershey. "Seriously. I think everyone's been waitin' for that to happen for years!"
"Good, not so bad, really..." she started, taking a bite out of her croissant. "It's been more tame than usual, which is nice. But you know what tame means around here..."

"That there's horrifying drama right around the corner," Race said wisely. "Speaking of which, I had dinner at Tristan's the other night with your friend Macbeth and that little niece of hers. She tell you 'bout that yet?"

"You mean Jo?" beamed Ershey. "Of course! She's bringing her to the lodging house... until they find something more... stable. Risk and I have been helping her a lot with Jo."

"And you know Tristan's her dad?" Race shook his head. "Can't seem to get over that. The guy's gonna have ten kids by the time he's twenty."

"Oh yeah," nodded Ershey, rolling her eyes. "He's a baby machine, that one.... You think Macbeth has anything to worry about concerning Tristan? I don't know the guy too well but when there's a baby involved..."
