Rose just shook her head, unable to say any words because she was laughing so much.

Pie had to let go over her hand to wipe his eyes, he was laughing so hard. He ran a hand through his hair and shook his head, finally slowing to a chuckle. "Damn, Bourbon, don't laugh like that."

Rose finally calmed down, trying to catch her breath. "Sorry, I just...Cookie and Bourbon? Those are two really awful nicknames. I think I'm losing my touch."

This statement caused Pie to erupt into another round of laughter, one hand on his forehead. When he composed himself at last, still letting out a short chuckle here and there, he sighed. "That's pathetic, really. We should both be ashamed."

"Consider me properly ashamed, then," Rose said, moving to sit on the couch. She pulled up one leg underneath her, getting comfortable. "How come I haven't seen you around here, fellow ashamed lodger?"

Pie settled into a chair across from her, stretching his legs out in front of him and folding his arms over his chest. "Christmas at my parents'. A week turned into a month, and it mighta been longer than that if I hadn't sneaked out in the middle of the night."

"Wait, so why do you stay here?" she asked, brow furrowed in confusion.

"Not enough room at home. I left when I was twelve, figured I'd make more money sellin' papes than workin' at my pa's shop." Pie shrugged. "My folks are nice and all, but it's like tryin' to bunk down in a circus tent, spendin' the night there."

"Exactly how many siblings do you have?" she asked, not realizing how much she was anticipating his answer. She had grown up an only child, which had turned out to be horrific.

"Three brothers and a sister. All of them loud and with no understanding of privacy," he said flatly.

Rose slowly quirked an eyebrow. "...And living here is better how?"

He smirked at her. "Nobody smacks me in the back of the head if I talk back." He lifted an eyebrow at Rose. "You don't like it here, kiddo?"

She found that hard to believe. There were some newsboys that were always smacking each other around. "Well...except for the fact that I can see Tyler almost any hour of the day without having to trudge through the snow...not particularly. I just...like my privacy."

Pie chuckled as he sat back in his chair. "You must got it bad, kid, to put up with the lot of us just to be close to your Whiskey." ((and it is bedtime for me.  stupid work in the morning.)) |

((Boo! Good night, missy!))
"Yeah, I guess you could say that," she replied, smirking. "I think he's got it pretty bad for me, too, though, so it's all right."
