"What's the worst thing you ever did?" he asked quietly, looking away from her and stroking the cat. He figured he'd get a glare instead of an answer, but he wasn't entirely certain. She had a way of surprising him.

With the number of years that she'd work for Eastman, she knew well enough what the answer to that question was without even thinking. "Eastman would have me torture kids sometimes," she answered slowly. "If they caved in sooner, they'd have use of their hands... uh, and limbs." She looked down at her feet, feeling awkward to hear what she'd done.

He didn't exactly react, at least not visibly--just looked up at her and eyed her closely, gauging the way her confession effected her. "And you never felt guilty?"

"Sometimes... I mean, I do," she answered just as blankly, with hardly any emotion in her voice. "I just don't want to think about it."
((I totally see her spazzing about it all one day ><))

"Someday you won't be able to help it," he told her grimly, petting the cat's belly as it turned over on its back and purred.
((Oh yeah. They have so many shared angst fests ahead of them. ^_^))

"Well, I'm fine right now," said Sammie defensively, determined to push away all thoughts of guilt.

"Okay," he said with a slight smirk. "Me too." He lit a cigarette, blowing the smoke out over the river so as not to annoy Sammie or his furry visitor.

"Got another one of those?" she asked, looking for something to take off the edge.

"Mmm-hmm." He pulled one out and offered it to her along with a match. "Just try not to burn down the docks." He was joking, of course, but hanging out with her did sometimes feel like hanging out with a powder keg--even at moments like this, when she was relatively quiet and peaceful.
So many different sides to her. It was fascinating. Truth be told, he could barely keep his eyes off her.
((Off to bed! <3))

"We just got here, maybe in a few weeks," she smirked, taking a long drag from the cigarette. She slowly felt herself relax, amazed at how she ended up at the Brooklyn docks with Sebastian. She definitely wouldn't have imagined this weeks ago when she was still working for Eastman.
((Gnight! <3))

Goblin could definitely do silence, and for a while, he did. They had a river, cigarettes, a cat, and plenty of shady people to observe--who needed conversation? "Sun's going down," he commented after a while, thinking maybe they should head inside soon. Especially since Sammie wasn't used to newsie hours. His mouth quirked as he thought of trying to get her out of bed in the morning.

"What're you smirking at?" said Sammie, catching Sebastian's look on his face.

"Nothing," he said, replacing the smirk with an innocent expression. "Wanna head in?" He shooed the cat off his lap, and it scurried under the pier, no doubt to tell all its friends to come and bother him.

"Uh, yeah, sure," she nodded, standing up from the edge of the docks and waiting for Sebastian. "So, what now? Are we supposed to mingle with all the other Brooklyn newsies now?"

"Um...are you capable of mingling?" he asked, completely serious. He didn't want to have to break up any brawls.
