"There's a ton," she reassured him, shaking her head. "You just happened to walk in when everyone's out or selling. You'll meet them all eventually, I'm sure."

"And here I thought you were the only person living here," he joked, offering her a lighthearted smile. "I guess I'll have to hang around until they all start filtering back in, won't I?"

"They'll be back in a couple hours," she answered, shrugging. "You should grab a bunk bed before everyone starts coming back in. Don't wanna end up with the one next to the window."

"Let me guess, it gets really drafty by the window?" He asked before carefully standing up. "Listen, I don't want to take up all your time or anything, but do you think you could show me how to get to the bunkroom?"

"I'm not doing anything, might as well," smiled Ershey, pushing herself off the couch and leading him upstairs. "The boys are fun. Risk is my brother, he's here too. Race is the one who's always betting on something. Blink's got an eyepatch, you can't miss him... and I'm dating Mush."
By the time she finished her quick introduction, they were finally inside the boys' bunkroom. "Boys really need to clean up more," she sighed, glancing around the room.

"Oooh, I'd say," Nate agreed, his head shaking with amusement as he made his way across the cluttered bunkroom. "So, let me get this straight, Race, Risk, Blink, and Mush? Seems easy enough..."

"Jack's here every now and then," she explained, wondering what the boys were up to. "I'm sure you've heard of him. Moonshine's the one always flirting with girls... who else, well, Goblin's in the refuge... you'll meet him eventually."

"The refuge?" Nate asked, a hint of concern in his voice. He could remember his days in the refuge. Not exactly his favorite memories. "How long does he have until he gets out?"

"I, um, don't know," she answered, shrugging. "Just heard around the other newsies that that's where he is. I'm sure he'll be fine. He's gone through worse."
She spotted an empty bunk bed in the middle of all the clutter. "There's one right there. Looks too clean for someone to be using."

"Well, then I guess that's my winner," he smiled. He carried his small bag over to the bed and set it down on top. "Thanks for, you know, showing me around. If you ever need something, just let me know."

"Don't worry about it," she chuckled, waving her hand at him. "It's nothing. I just walked up the stairs, that's all. Let me know how it goes with the boys!"

"Yes, ma'am! I'll give you a full report in the morning!" He laughed, waving back as he opened his bag to unpack his things.
Next order of business, fix the drafty window.
