At this, he grinned like a little boy, which made him look cute and funny. "Hm...my favorite part would have to be Manhattan. It's the cleanest, the nicest, and the most fun part of New York."

He nodded his head. "If any of my friends aren't at Manhattan, or are busy, Brooklyn's the foist place I think of." Smiling, he moved onto the seat next to her where he was before.

Prop snickered again. "Livin' in da Bronx, dough you'ah hahts in Brooklyn, yeah?" she teased.
"So, you a newsie, oah what?"
She had yet to try selling any papers herself, she just didn't get the whole 'improving the truth' bit.

"Yup. Newsie." Grinning, he licked his lips and leaned backwards, staring at the ceiling.

Closing his eyes, he shrugged. "Not really for me. But I've been a newsie for years. You have to get used to getting up at 4:30 in the mornin', not really eatin' a lot, but havin' at least somethin'. The worst part though, is sellin'. Ya gotta get a good amount of papes so ya can eat and stay at da lodging house."

"Usually hundred or hundred fifty." Smirking, he nodded his head at her first comment.

Prop felt her jaw go slack, but caught herself before it dropped.
"A 'undred an' fifty papes. I don' even t'ink I can lift doughs."

He smiled. "Well, I got muscles." He was joking around as he lifted his shirt sleeve up and flexed.

Prop rolled her eyes and snickered as Curls flexed.
"Ya, ya. You'se just showin' off foah da pretty goil."
She wasn't being conceited, only teasing. She knew she wasn't that pretty.

Prop shook her head, still chuckling as she pulled a pocket watch out of her knapsack. Just enough time to get to the Distribution Center to grab the evening edition.
"Well, 'hansome', wanna show this 'pretty goil' what it means tah be a newsie?"
