((HAHA, I love them!))
Ershey shrugged, smirking. "Sure, why not?" She had been longing to hang around a girl for a while, someone that she could talk to. Granted, nail polish and Manhattan wasn't anything deep, but she was thankful for the company.
"You know a lot of people around here?" she asked, giving Sapphy her hand.

Sapphy took it gently and carefully started on Ershey's thumb.
"Sort of... I've only talked to a handful of people. Jack and Stagey," she thoughtlessly clumped them together. "Kid and Race. Tag and Zip. ...Kloppman, mostly," she laughed. "And now you." She found painting nails to be relaxing.
((Me too! ;D ))

"I know faces more than anythin'," explained Ershey, watching Sapphy paint her thumb with the varnish. "Actually, I don't think I've really met any of those that you mentioned... er, except for Kloppman. Everyone knows him... they kinda have to."

"Jack's the big guy. Always has a cowboy hat and a cocky demeanor. Stagey is at Irving Hall, but she comes around often. Very quiet, brown hair, real pretty... Kid Blink has the eyepatch and loud mouth. Race is... Race," she said after a moment of reflection. "Tag's English. Light brown hair, nose usually in a book. Zip is wild and awesome. Brown hair and big smile."
She moved onto her next finger carefully. "And you are Ershey. Gorgeous yet all too trusting with her fingers and strangers."

"You don't look crazy enough to me," teased Ershey, smirking. "Or else my fingers would've been far far away from you a long time ago."
She went over the newsies that Sapphy had mentioned and started putting the pieces together. She had definitely seen them around but never exactly talked to them. "Why is Race just... Race?" she asked after a while, realizing that she couldn't remember him at all.

"I can't... Really describe him. I guess I can see he's the one always putting down bets, cause that's his nickname." She delicately switched to Ershey's other hand.

"The one always talkin' about makin' money off of bets?" she asked, remembering when she'd seen him at the Distribution Center a couple days ago. "Ohh, that one!"

"Yea, he's friends with the one-eyed pirate," Sapphy said, nodding.

"The eyepatch kid," said Ershey, remembering Sapphy's explanation earlier. "Got it."

"What about you, though?" Sapphy asked. "How are you finding this place?"

"It's interestin'," she answered, as she blew on her already painted nails. "I'm hardly around... always workin', y'know? That's why I don't know a lot of the other newsies around here. It's good, I guess. The ones that I met are nice... so far."
She cringed inwardly. She still couldn't read Wraith and Goblin but that's a different story for another time.

"Which ones?" Sapphy asked, already forming a kinship with Ershey -- both of them being new girls and rosey-nail enthusiasts. She finished Ershey's pinky finger and looked up into her eyes.

"Well, I met Kennedy over at the Distribution Center one mornin'... ran into Leo at Irving Hall after work, I hope he's doin' alright with that girl. Those two kids, Wraith and Goblin or somethin'... oh, and Mush," said Ershey, biting back a smile when she said the last newsies' name.

Sapphy caught onto smiles of any kind easily. This was a particularly happy smile.
"Mush, huh? ...Toes?"

"Yeah, Mush," said Ershey, smiling as she started untying her shoelaces. "You know him?"
