Specs opened the door for Tag as they left Tibby's. "You, uh, alright?" he asked tentatively once they were farther from Tibby's.

"I didn't know you smoked," she said simply, eyes fixated on the sidewalk ahead of them.

"I don't always do it... mostly when I'm around the boys," said Specs simply. He looked over at Tag and frowned. "I'm not addicted to it or anything... and I promise I won't kiss you with smoke breath."

"Didn't know you gambled, either," she muttered, still not looking over at him.

Specs frowned. "...You mad at me, Tag?"

"No, I wouldn't say I'm mad... Just disappointed, I guess. I thought you were smarter than that is all..."

"Disappointed?" he repeated, confused. "'Cause I drink and smoke with my friends doesn't make me less smarter..."

"I know smoking is quite popular with the newsboys and everything, but it's a nasty habit. And so is gambling. I mean, we barely have any money as it is..."

"Don't worry, Skitts paid for two of the games we played..." said Specs, trying to look at the positive side of things. "We haven't seen each other in a while, so we did newsboys things... y'know, boy things..."

"So, you're saying I just wouldn't understand? Because I'm not a boy," she replied, frowning.

"I never said that, Tag," replied Specs gently. "Skitts is my bestfriend and I haven't seen him in a while. I miss him. And before you came along, all we had was each other... whether I'm drinking or smoking, it doesn't change who I am."

"Well, actually, drinking can change who you are. Dramatically, in fact. Were you two drinking?" she asked, her frown deepening.

"No, we weren't, Tag," sighed Specs. "We weren't drinking at all. Unlike most newsies, I know when to stop."

They had reached the house then, so Tag just went inside, going back into the parlor and picking up her book. She plopped down on the couch and started reading again.

"Tag," sighed Specs, sitting down next to her. "Can you talk to me, please? What's wrong? I thought you'd like Skittery."
