"Good advice," Wraith said grimly, shutting the door after Goblin waved them off. "When he gets bored, he plots. Sometimes it's practical jokes, sometimes it's toppling prisons and gangs."

"I meant it as a joke but I guess that works too," said Sammie, shrugging. "How long have you been listening on us, anyway?"

Wraith hesitated, gauging the girl for any sign of anger. Though unlike Sebastian, she didn't have any great talent for gauging people. "The whole time," she admitted.

"You better keep your mouth shut, then," she said, shooting her a warning look.

"About what?" she muttered, inching away. "There wasn't much to hear." All she knew was that Sammie hadn't wanted to discuss Monk Eastman for some reason.

"That's good enough," she muttered to herself. She didn't think she was going to be much of a threat, anyway. "So, what do you usually do now?"

"Sell papes," she said matter-of-factly, glancing back at the infirmary, "but..." Well, she knew he didn't want her hovering over him. Even if it meant figuring out how to feed himself one-handed. "Well, I guess I might as well go out and show you the ropes a bit. Cav'll probably check on Sebastian."

Sammie shrugged, glancing over at the infirmary before looking back at Wraith. "Yeah, sure." She couldn't imagine her being a newsie, considering how she'd rather keep quiet than talk.

Wraith led the way out the door and headed silently down the street. Now and then, she darted a curious glance at Sammie, but she knew better than to ask any questions. This girl clearly didn't like to talk about herself, or the things she'd been and done up until this point. Just like Sebastian, Wraith thought wryly. Except that he always had good motives, at least.

"So what else do you do other than selling papes and plotting with your brother?" asked Sammie after a while, not exactly sure what else to say.

"Um...well..." Wraith was caught off guard and found the truth spilling out of her mouth. "I take lots of walks...mostly at night...I, uh, visit this graveyard sometimes...I just kinda like it...and I spend time with...friends..." A faint blush stained her cheeks.

"Friends?" repeated Sammie, confused as to why the girl's cheeks would blush. She smirked, finally catching on. "More than friends?"

"No!" Wraith said quickly. "I mean...we haven't...it's not really...what about you?" she demanded, desperate to get out of this. "Are gangsters allowed to have more-than-friends?"

"If they want," said Sammie, amused. "As long as it's within the gang, no one cares. And no, for me."

"Oh! Good. I mean...not good. That's...that's fine, though. That's just...fine." Oh, yeah. She was smooth. "So, um. Papes! Everyone has a different style. I m-mostly just give people sad looks," she admitted, never so grateful for the sight of the distribution center.
