Gypsy arched her brow, shooting a quick glance at Jimmy before looking back at Riddle. She set the rest of breakfast on the table. "Alright...I gotta change outta my robe anyway." She headed to her bedroom, expecting Riddle to follow her.

Riddle got up, reluctantly leaving the rest of the bacon to Sammie, and followed Gypsy to her room. When they got there, she leaned awkwardly against the wall. "So. For the record, this ain't actually a fucking suicide mission, and I'm planning to come back from it. But in case...in case I don't...can you do something for me?"

Gypsy glanced at her as she took a dress from her closet. "What are you talking about?"

Riddle sighed. "If I get myself shot or something, I want you to go to the Duane Street lodging house and find Erin...I think she goes by Zippy...and tell her the Joseph situation's taken care of. And I want you to give her something."
She pulled a small wooden dreidel out of her pocket. Not exactly valuable, but it was beautiful--dark, smooth wood, with the Hebrew symbols painted on it in shiny gold--and her parents always said it was an heirloom from the old country. She'd kept it with her throughout her time in the Refuge, and now she handed it to Gypsy. "Tell her it's for Simon--to give Annie when she's old enough. She'll know what I mean."

She frowned, but took it. She traced her finger over the etchings on the dreidle. "Riddle...I know--I mean..." she lifted her eyes to look at her. "I've never really had any friends..."

"All right, no need to get all sappy," Riddle muttered. She remembered having friends--back in school, during her childhood. She and Gypsy were never friends. They'd always distrusted each other. But maybe now... "Thanks for all this," she added, not meeting Gypsy's eyes.

Gypsy licked her lips, nodding. "Just...try not to die, okay?"

"I'll use all my wiles," Riddle said with a smirk, already on her way out of Gypsy's bedroom. Halfway down the hall, though, she glanced over her shoulder. "If I do, though...when you talk to Erin...she could also ask my parents to, you know...pray for me." And then she sauntered back into the kitchen and grinned at Jimmy and Sammie like nothing had happened. ((  )) |

((  )) Gypsy didn't come back right away. She took her time changing. She was more worried than she would have ever admitted in a hundred years. When she finally did come back to the kitchen, she had on her usual bored expression. "There'd better still be bacon left. I'm eatin' for two and all, ya know." |

She sat down, eating. But she kept shooting glances at Riddle.

Jimmy studied Gypsy and then looped his arm around her shoulders before scooping some eggs into his mouth. "Everything alright?"

Gypsy turned and gave him a smile. "Course it is. Right, Riddle?" But she met Jimmy's eyes, clearly meaning she'd talk to him about it later.

He nodded and then kissed her cheek. He gave her shoulder a squeeze.
