Sammie eyed Sebastian thoughtfully. With what she'd heard from Clara, she already had an idea with what was going on in that head of his.
"How do you know the two of them again?" she asked, following him closely behind.

"They were both in the Refuge with me," he explained. "I've known Footsteps for over a year, but I didn't really meet Cav till a couple months ago." And for some reason he honestly couldn't fathom, they were both completely loyal to him. He didn't even know how to thank them for that.

"'Cause of the whole scheme you thought up?" she asked directly, trying to gauge his reaction.

He paused at the top of the stairs, leaning against the railing; he'd grown more interested in talking to her than finding the others, especially since they'd probably want some alone time.
"Cav wanted to help," he explained briefly. "'Cause of Footsteps. He wanted to get her out of there. And 'Steps..." He snorted. "She knew me when I was a crazy rebel kid, so she thinks I'm this hero who goes around righting wrongs or something." Clearly, the stress of recent days was going to his head, to be admitting even this much so frankly.

Sammie shrugged, smirking just slightly. "Maybe you are." With what he'd achieved with Eastman, Five Points might as well be bowing down to him.

His face darkened, then went blank, like he'd flipped a switch. "Sure, if you ignore the collateral damage." He turned away from her and started down the hall, wondering which door to knock on.

Sammie kept quiet and followed him closely behind. She knew exactly what he was referring to and what made him run away from the conversation. She didn't blame him. She would've done the exact same thing too.

He knocked on a random door and got no answer. The next knock provoked a stream of curses. Raising an eyebrow, he glanced up and down the hallway, decided there was nothing for it, and yelled, "CAV!? 'STEPS!?"
"We're in here!" Footsteps' lilting Irish voice called from down the hall. Followed by a burst of giggles.
Goblin's eyebrow rose further, and he turned back to Sammie. "I'm thinking they're probably all right."

"Was there something you actually needed from them?" asked Sammie, quite hesitant to go down the hallway to check up on them.

"Nope. Just bored," he admitted. "And I wanted to make sure they weren't..." He trailed off. I am not. Going. To be paranoid. Anymore. "Just bored," he repeated.

"C'mon, let's just do something else," said Sammie, turning her heel and walking down the steps. Although, she wasn't exactly sure where she was headed or what to do. What was there to do in Brooklyn other than jump off the docks, anyway?

He followed her down the stairs, though he had no idea where they were going either. The only places he'd been in Brooklyn recently were Sharkey's opium den and Tristan's apartment, and those were not exactly high on his list of smart destinations.
They'd probably just end up at the docks. Which wouldn't be so bad. There were people at the docks. So many new people to watch and listen to and figure out...Goblin found his mood improving a bit.

Sammie stepped out of the lodging house and a made a beeline for the docks. She'd always seen it and heard about it but never had the opportunity to simply spend time there. She sat down, letting her feet dangle on the edge and decided to glare at any newsie who'd stare.

Goblin settled down beside her and actually found himself relaxing more than he had in quite some time. He'd meant to watch the strangers swarming around them, but he soon found himself watching Sammie instead. He had to smirk at the way she glared at anyone who even glanced their way. "You're getting their guard up," he complained, softly enough that no one else would hear. "Now we won't get to overhear anything interesting."
