The morning after learning that her brother had been shot, Wraith was too exhausted to do much of anything at first. Once Sebastian was awake and obviously going to live, she headed up to the bunkroom and crashed. But when she woke up a few hours later, when everyone else was out selling, she spotted a familiar blonde lying in a nearby bunk.
"Hey," she called, and shimmied down the ladder to get a good look at Sammie. "I thought you might've left." It hadn't seemed like the girl had much reason to stick around.

Sammie frowned, blinking her eyes open to see a little blonde girl. She remembered her during the commotion when she brought back Sebastian.
"There are beds here," she said as a matter of factly. "I wasn't about to sleep on the streets when I can stay here for the night." She sat up, looking around and facing her. "What'd you want?"

"Just...seeing how you are," Wraith said rather lamely, her confidence from the previous night withering fast now that she knew her brother was all right. This Sammie girl was actually quite intimidating. "I, uh...wanted to thank you. Again. So...thanks."

"Are you his...?" she started, looking at her curiously. She couldn't follow who was who in the room but she definitely remembered the other girl.

"Sister," she confirmed, and finally remembered her manners. "I'm Clara Pearson. But I mostly go by Wraith." She offered her hand tentatively.

"Sammie," she replied, taking her hand and shaking it. She felt a bit of relief, that was why she was so worried about him. "Thanks for not biting my head off yesterday."

She winced. "I almost did...I wasn't really thinking straight. I didn't know if he would..." She shook her head. "He's going to be fine, though," she added with an exhausted smile. That quickly wilted as she remembered the rest of Sammie's story. "So Riddle didn't make it?"

Sammie shook her head sadly. She didn't know Riddle that well but she was still a good person. "One of Eastman's men shot her... and it all just happened so fast," she explained, finally reflecting on what happened. "At least Sebastian's alright."

She nodded slowly, then frowned, wondering when her brother and this girl had gotten on a real-name basis. "So...d-do you know what you're going to do now? I mean, with Eastman dead and the gang broken up and everything."

Sammie shrugged, only realizing what sort of situation she was in now. It was back to square one all over again. "Haven't really thought that far..." she answered hesitantly. "I don't think joining a gang's exactly the best for someone's health. Maybe find a job somewhere?"

"Become a newsie like the rest of us," Wraith suggested with a bit of a smile, sitting down on the bunk across from her. "The money's not that bad. And it's hard work, but at least you don't have a boss to answer to."

Sammie looked at Clara thoughtfully, trying to weigh the odds. She hoped those two that kidnapped her weren't anywhere around. Then again, it wasn't like she couldn't handle herself.
"Maybe. Are you a newsie too?"
((Gotta run! Have a good night! <3))

Wraith nodded. "Sebastian and I moved here ages ago...or it seems like it, anyway. We're not exactly the most popular lodgers, though," she admitted. Most people didn't even know she existed, and Goblin...well, he did have a knack for trouble.
((You too!! 'Night! <3))

"What does that mean?" asked Sammie in confusion. By the looks of it, she thought people liked them well enough for Sebastian to have a room full of worried people last night.

Wraith shrugged. "Well, you know my brother had this massive plan...and he got a lot of people involved, and a lot of them got hurt." She sighed and spoke almost to herself. "I understand why he feels guilty about Script, but the rest of them...they knew what they were getting themselves into." Unlike Goblin, she had never been prone to regrets. "And me, I'm just quiet and sneaky. People usually can't even find me."
