"Oh... Same." He replied, wondering why she was being so quiet.
((Ahh okay! Thanks for the heads up!))

Ershey bit her lip, unsure of what to say. Normally, she would've ran back to the lodging house, quickly putting the stolen wallet away. She hated having stolen things around her. It was just more evidence that it wasn't hers. And it reminded her of Ericson more than it should.
"I need, uh... to make a quick trip back to the lodgin' house," she finally said, looking at Mush. "Wanna come with?"

Mush looked up at her, eyebrows raised.
"Oh, yeah, sure. Lead the way."

Ershey simply nodded, making her way towards the lodging house. She hated being awkward with Mush. She glanced over at him, tempted to just hug him and hide away.
"I'm not keepin' you from anythin', am I?" she asked shyly.

"Nah." Mush replied, shaking his head. "I'm done sellin'... What else am I gonna do?" He chuckled.

"Lookin' for a hotdog?" she teased, grinning. She quickly bounded up the steps towards the girls' bunkroom once they reached the lodging house, not wanting to keep Mush waiting for too long. She ran into the washroom, looking for the loose floorboard where she kept her things. Placing the stolen wallet into her knapsack, Ershey took a quick glance around to make sure no one saw her.
"That should cover it," she muttered to herself, making her way back down to look for Mush.

Mush was fiddling with something on the lobby desk, wondering what Ershey was doing. He was curious, he couldn't help it!
"Wanna come to lunch with me?" He asked once she got downstairs.

"Of course," said Ershey happily, glad to have a distraction from thinking about Ericson. She put her arm around his, slowly feeling better already.

This lifted Mush's spirits and made him more confident around her.
"I, uh, I've missed you."

"It's only been a couple hours," teased Ershey. "I've missed you too, though."
Maybe Ershey was more or less avoiding him. Just a little bit. She needed to get her mind around things, especially when it meant dealing with Ericson and she didn't want Mush seeing her like that.

"It seems like days!" He laughed, walking closer to her and bumping her shoulder.

"I know," she said softly. If she could spend the whole day with Mush, she would. "So, uh, did the boys give you trouble after our date?" ((Gotta run! Be back soon!  ) |

"Yeah. And when I told them why I lied, they gave me even more grief!" Mush laughed, shaking his head.
"But they're just jealous."

Upon hearing Mush's last comment, Ershey couldn't help but blush. He knew just how to get to her.
"As long as they're not teasin' you too much," she said, chuckling softly.

Mush opened the door to Tibby's, ushering Ershey in. He was dying for a ham sandwich.
"Who cares? We're newsies, we're used to being teased." That was the sad truth, unfortunately.
