"Porch, porch," she replied waving her hand. "Porch.. I wouldn't be able to handle getting up to the roof... " No she knew how far she could push her limits. "And no I'm not worried about my looks I just didnt' think it was that bad.."

"Alright, wait here," said Hammer, a bit anxious to put away his bag (hey, it had a hammer in it!) as he walked into the boys' bunkroom, found the cleanest bunkbed he could find and stashed his bag on the side so that no one would grab it.
"C'mon," he said, holding his hand out to her. He saw how difficult it was for her to walk up the stairs earlier.

She looked at his hand for a moment like it was going to bite her, couldn't blame her for being hard to trust he could be a spy. Wouldn't be above Blackjack's gang to do it. Reaching out she took his hand, instincts prevailing. He seemed --- decent. Her hand was tiny by comparison.

Hammer slowly led her down the steps, patiently taking his time until they reached the lobby. He let go of her hand and opened the door. "Anything hurt?"

"Want the truth or a lie?" she asked as she took a breath and walked outside, his hand had helped. She hadn't had to cling to something but a hand to get downstairs.

"So, you should've stayed in bed, then?" he teased, sitting down on the porch as he looked out at the sidewalk.

She stuck her tongue out at him, an instant reaction and she shrugged. "I'm going mad in bed all day-- I need to do something I'm not used to being stuck somewhere.."

"What do you usually do when you're not stuck in bed, then?" he asked, chuckling softly.

She smacked him in the arm, strange but she felt at ease. Like she was with the boys, "Shuddup. No I'm just used to getting up and going... doing what I please, sneaking out the window.."

"Hey!" muttered Hammer, chuckling as he rubbed the spot where he hit her. "Since when did girls hit guys? Sneaking out to where, anyway?"

"Guys deserve to be hit," she replied. "And it didn't hurt ya don't even bellyache.." Her shoulders shrugged and she sat down to lean against the wall. This was nice, the fresh air even if it was a bit chilly. "Anywhere I wanna go... across the river... maybe sneak on a train to Atlantic City for a spell... go to Manhattan.. can go anywhere I wanna go."

Hammer smiled over at her, amazed at how he felt at ease with someone he'd just met. He hardly had any contact with girls the past couple of years and yet, here he was, talking to one as if it was nothing. He was secretly proud of himself.
"I've never been to Atlantic City..."

"And you lived in New Jersey," she snorted and tossed her hair, she was never comfortable with strangers. And she was-- not very nice. It was true she wasn't, making it hard to interact with people she liked even. New people, this was new for her. Actually-- she didn't ever feel at ease with someone so quick after meeting them. "It's.. interesting. Nothing like New York but it was kind of nice... like goin' to the Shore and pretendin' to be all high class and hoity toity.."

Hammer instinctively narrowed his eyes at her. He hardly had a childhood yet time to walk around Atlantic City since he was immediately left in jail. There were a lot of things he hadn't done yet and had been meaning to do. At least he could cross one off the list today.
"And you've pretended to be all hoity toity?" he smirked.

She smirked, "When I'm not banged up and can hardly walk-- was fun. Those birds didn't even notice I was fakin. Got a pretty dress, stood up straight.." She tried to sit up straight and then winced and leaned back against the wall. "Heh, spoke like a proper lady, was a lark. But I wasn't going to take it farther than a day-- they find out your not one a them and --" she shrugged. They got rid of you, because they thought they were better.
