(( New Day ))
It wasn't that Luis wanted to walk all the way to Manhattan, but he'd heard so much about this place he figured he ought to check it out for himself. Finding a small table he sat down alone, fiddling his fingers on the table as he waited for a waiter.

Moon was just walking around Manhattan, not up to feeling to walk back to Queens at the moment. She walked into Tibby's and looked around.
She saw a Queens newsie, and his name was Dez. Moondidn't know if he knew her, but she had taken a liking to him. So she sat down at the table with him.
"Hi, I'se Moon. I'm a Queens newsie with you. I think I have seen you around a few times." She spit in her hand and held it out for him.

Luis looked up sharply as a girl sat across from him and removed his fidgeting hands from the table.
"Hi, I'se Moon. I'm a Queens newsie with you. I think I have seen you around a few times." She spit in her hand and held it out for him.
He spit in his own hand, shaking the girl's a bit awkwardly-- he still wasn't used to this newsie custom. Nodding at her introduction he attempted a grin. "Oh yeah, I've seen you around, I'm Dez." He shifted a bit in his chair... Girls tended to make him a little uncomfortable.

Moon saw the boy look a little uncomfortable. So she decided he was mysterious.
"Oh yeah, I've seen you around, I'm Dez."
"It's nice to meet you Dez. Are you sure yoah okay?" She definitely didn't want to scare Dez, she was new so she was trying to make friends.

He shrugged, looking a little confused. "Yeah, I'm fine.. just hungry." He grinned, hoping he looked more relaxed. "So do you come here often?"

"Yeah, I'm fine.. just hungry."
Moon smiled. "Yeah, we usually are," She said, causing her to laugh.
"So do you come here often?"
"Hm...to Tibby's? Not usually. As you know, I am in Queens. Do you like it in Queens?" Moon asked him. She liked how he was so fidgety. She smirked.

He nodded, resting his elbows on the table and looking down at his fingers as they lightly tapped the table. "Yeah, I grew up there." He glanced up at her. "What about you?"

"Yeah, I grew up there. What about you?"
She smiled at Dez. "That's nice. Me and my twin sister Star, who are both in Queens, were born in Naples, Italy. When we were 5, our parents died, and we moved to Queens."
Moon didn't like talking about her past much, but she decided it was a good idea to get everything out. Dez also seemed like the right person to talk to.

Dez nodded, he'd seen her sister around before too, though it took him a while to see them both together and realize they were twins. "Wow, that's a far way to come, why Queens?" He paused, glancing out the window and shrugging awkwardly. "If you don't mind me asking.."

"Wow, that's a far way to come, why Queens? If you don't mind me asking.."
"Oh no it's fine. My parents had died when we was 5, and Star and I'se Uncle lived in Queens. He beat us a lot, and when we finally got sick of it, we ran away. And now we are at the Lodging House." Moon smiled at him.
"Sorry for pouring all of this on you. I haven't talked about this in a while."

He nodded understandingly, it certainly wasn't the first time he'd heard about kids being pushed around by their parents or relatives.
"Sorry for pouring all of this on you. I haven't talked about this in a while."
He shrugged. "Nah it's okay, doesn't bother me none, and well, I did ask.. so my own fault anyway right?" He attempted a grin and leaned back in his chair, glancing out the window.
