Corsair continued to watch, he leaned up against a tree, his arms folded as if he was studying something interesting. He noticed that the two had seen him but he didn't react or pretend he wasn't watching them...because he was watching them and he didn't care if they knew that.

[dice]

"I'm fifteen as well. Uh...do ya see dat man dat's watchin' us? Or is dat just me?"

Dice saw the man lean against the tree as if he knew that they knew that he was watching him, and it started to scare her, Dice had grown up in New York so she was use to it but most people just pretend to not look but corsair was staring straight at them which sent a shiver down Dice's spine. "I see him to," whispered Dice, loud enough so that Cupid could hear her and soft enough so that Corsair couldn't hear her.

[cupid]

"I see him to,"

Dice's voice was just above a whisper, but Cupid could tell that she was getting scared. He put an arm around her shoulder, "Don't worry, he won't do nothin' ta us..." He replied, hoping it was true.

[corsair]

Corsair was curious about the girl. A thief it seemed, but possibly more then just petty theft. He began to wonder what Marauder's plan was, he was getting bored and found himself wondering how easy it would be to take a thief under his wing and train them. He hated being her without acting. It made him drink more...good thing he hadn't had a drink today or these newsies might have a real need to be scared.

[dice]

"Don't worry, he won't do nothin' ta us..."

Dice knew that what Cupid said wasn't true, Dice had gotten in a worse situation than this, but..Dice wasn't thinking about the man that was watching them he was thinking about her twin sister Maple who was supposed be coming to the Park to meet her. Hopefully she won't be coming any time soon, Maple is a pretty girl..like Dice, and she tends to talk a lot around boys. "I shure hope so" answered Dice, knowing that what she said didn't sound to confident.

[cupid]

"I shure hope so"

Cupid squeezed her shoulder a little bit, protecting her from whatever this guy might try and do. But when he looked at her, she looked like she wasn't paying to much attention to this guy, but thinking about something. "Hey, what's botherin' ya?" He raised his eyebrows, "Don't worry, ya can tell me anythin'. We should get our mind of dis guy anyway." He said with some disgust in his voice.

[dice]

"Hey, what's botherin' ya?" He raised his eyebrows, "Don't worry, ya can tell me anythin'. We should get our mind of dis guy anyway."

"Nothin...." When Cupid said that she could tell her anything, Dice blinked a couple of times before telling him what she was actually thinking about. "Just thinkin 'bout my sista," Dice looked around so that she might be able to catch a glimpse of her but, she didn't see her sister any ware.

[corsair]

(ooc: Feel free to skip me for a bit, he's just watching anyways. )

[cupid]

"Just thinkin 'bout my sista,"

Cupid frowned. He had no idea if her sister had died, or if she was just really rude and was a newsie like her. As he decided to ask, he was hoping that she was alive. "If ya don't mind me askin', is yoah sistah a newsie like us? Or is she...ya know..dead..."

[dice]

"If ya don't mind me askin', is yoah sistah a newsie like us? Or is she...ya know..dead..."

Dice smirked at Cupid when he asked about Maple, her twin sister. "Well.. me and my sista arent newsies were just theives that want to become newsies one day." answered Dice hoping that she didn't give Cupid any ideas.

((ok ;D))

[cupid]

"Well.. me and my sista arent newsies were just theives that want to become newsies one day."

Cupid let out a breath of thankfullness. "Oh, well...why don't ya guys just go ta one of da Lodging Houses and ask ta be a newsie?" He paused, thinking about what Prince might do, "Ya might be able ta come ta Queens."

[corsair]

Corsair couldn't hear what they were saying, he was just out of earshot, which was probably a good thing. If he heard a thief say they would rather be a newsie he might have lost his temper...however, he might have left too, which would have been a good thing for the other two. She was so young though, he wasn't sure how long he would continue to stay interested.

[dice]

"Oh, well...why don't ya guys just go ta one of da Lodging Houses and ask ta be a newsie? Ya might be able ta come ta Queens."

Dice had just relized that Cupid put his arm around her shoulder and when he did that she kind of blushed a little bit and looked at her feet, but when Cupid started talking she looked up from the ground and looked at Cupid.

Dice saw a look in Cupid's eyes that he wanted her to become a Queens newsies, much like her sister Dice gave into the look. Dice smiled a little bit thinking what it would be like for her to become a Queens newsie. "Shure I would like dat." answered Dice knowing that it was up to the leader to decide for her to become a newsie.

[cupid]

"Shure I would like dat."

As Cupid saw Dice blush, he smiled at himself for doing a good job. He left his arm on her shoulder though, and looked back at the guy who was staring at them, wondering if he was a theif and wanted something to do with Dice, or if he was just a freak.

"Aight. What 'bout yoah sistah? Would she like ta become a Queens newsie? All we gotta do is tawk ta Prince, the leader 'bout it." He smiled broadly at her trying to win her over.

[dice]

"Aight. What 'bout yoah sistah? Would she like ta become a Queens newsie? All we gotta do is tawk ta Prince, the leader 'bout it."

"I think dat my sistah would like to become a Queens newsie as well." Dice thought about her sister, and how happy she would be when Dice told her that they might be able to become newsies and might actually be able to sleep in a bed and not the hard ground of an ally or on a bench in Central Park.

Dice looked back at Corsair who was starting to freak her out, Dice pushed that to the back of her mind and thought about becoming a newsie.
