Swooping In (o)

[Goblin]

Goblin nodded and followed him inside, glancing back to make sure the others were following. He looked around at the lobby, thinking that nothing seemed particularly shady so far. Except...there was something about the leader. He couldn't put his finger on it yet, but there was something.

Footsteps stuck close to Cav's side, glancing at him to see what he made of all this. For now, she was enjoying the adventure, but she was still very much aware of where they were. Brooklyn wasn't the Refuge, but you certainly had to watch your back.

[Cavalier]

Cav let himself give Footsteps a small, reassuring smile. He turned back to look at Hawk, glancing at Goblin. "Uh, nice digs ya got here."

[Sammie]

"Cozy," muttered Sammie under her breath, only loud enough for Goblin to hear.

[Hawk Hoffman]

"well ya take what ya can get, right?" he chuckled a bit, whispering to a nearby boy an glancing at the new comers. "we have a few singles and doubles available as well here, this LH was a cheap boarding house before it was converted to this. Bunk rooms are that way."

[Cavalier]

Without thinking, Cav blurted out. "I want a double." He cleared his throat, glancing at Footsteps, then back at Hawk. "Uh, please."

[Goblin]

'Steps blushed and grinned at the same time, torn between delight and the silent question of whether she was getting in over her head. She and Cav would actually have to sit down and talk about what they were doing at some point. But for now, she just shot a reproachful look at Goblin, who was smirking at them.

[Sammie]

Sammie's confidence faltered once she heard what Cav said. She glanced hesitantly at Goblin then back down at her feet. It'd be cheaper to get a single... but then again...

[Hawk Hoffman]

Hawk sized them up. He wanted to keep the new kids happy, and wanted them on his side. "it's a bit extra, but if ya want it, it's yours." he snapped his fingers and another newsie with keys showed up.

"this here is AJ. He'll show ya to your room." AJ nodded to Cav, gesturing for him to follow.

[Cavalier]

Cav squeezed Footsteps' hand, glancing at Goblin. "I'll, uh, check in with you later, I guess." He led Footsteps up the stairs, following AJ.

[Goblin]

Goblin had raised his eyebrow ever so slightly at the finger snap, but not so it was noticeable. He nodded to Cav and Footsteps and watched them go. He was pretty sure this wasn't some diabolical ambush plot. Besides, knowing Sammie, she was armed to the teeth, and he...well, he could almost move his left arm without wincing. "We'll go with the bunks," he said without thinking. Cheapest option, right? "Unless you want something different," he added politely to Sammie.

[Sammie]

Sammie shook her head. "Nah, that's fine. We'll go with that," she said, looking over at Hawk.

[Hawk Hoffman]

"right." hawk showed them to the bunkroom himself. "is there...any trouble I should know about?" he asked Goblin bluntly, his eyes on his wound.

And even if the guy didnt tell him, Hawk would find out. He found out about everything.

[Goblin]

That you should know about? Goblin glanced at his bandaged shoulder and shook his head. "Not anymore." He glanced around the bunkroom thoughtfully. Most newsies were out selling right now; the ones who were here looked like a tougher crowd than Manhattan, overall, but they only glanced at the newcomers with curiosity, not murderous intentions. For now, anyway.

Brooklyn, he reflected sardonically, wasn't exactly the place to come to shake your paranoia.

[Sammie]

"No one's going to be following us, if that's what you're worried about," added Sammie, glaring at the Brooklyn newsies as they made their way to the bunkroom.

[Hawk Hoffman]

Hawk gave them both a hard look. "I worry about a lot of things, and whatever happened to you- " he gestured to Goblin, "better be water under the damn bridge."
