"I'll give you all some time," Daisy said quietly, smiling at Sweets and touching her hand lightly. "You need anything, you call for me, okay?" She checked with Cheater once more and then turned to leave, smiling at the young man as she left. If she had to guess, she'd have put money that he was Jack, the leader Pie had been missing so much. She smiled a little at the thought, this should cheer Pie considerably. Bolstered by the thought, Daisy moved on to check on the other patients.

Gifts. Her greatest downfall. Unable to hold back a smile she lifted herself up on her arm to see everything better and, giving Daisy a small nod as she left, she turned back to the newsie leader. "Aw Jack, you know me too well.."
Pausing for a moment she gave him a somewhat wary look like she was reading him, but, as if satisfied by what she saw, her expression quickly changed to one of joy. Tossing herself forward she wrapped her arms around him in a fierce hug. "Don't evah leave again, kay?

Jack smiled, glad that she liked the gift. He was about to say something else when she hugged him. Chuckling, he wrapped his arms around Sweets and gave her a big hug back. "I won't I won't Sweets..." He grinned, rubbing her back a bit. "Butcha gotta promise me ya ain't leavin' neither."

She sat back on her bed and grinned. "Aw come on, wheah would I go huh? I'll be in New York da rest of my life." It wasn't something she was over joyed about, but just seemed like a simple fact of her life. Leaning forward she grabbed the small cloth Daisy had given her and let out a few harsh coughs. Clearing her throat as it passed she gave Jack a motherly look. "You bettah get outta heah, 'nough newsies are already sick."

She just smiled, rolling her eyes slightly at his stubbornness. Looking down at the two bags of candy he had brought she eyed the chocolate one greedily. "All the way ta New York an' it didn't melt, this is gotta be some amazing stuff huh?" She lightly fingered the bag, peering in at its contents with a small grin tugging at her lips.
((..in a 'Gollum and the ring' kind of way.... ;D))

Jack laughed. "Yes, yes...its Mexican Chocolate...its not a sweet but more chocolatey." He smirked. "And made for hot climates." He was happy she looked so damn excited about it.

She grinned as he spoke, a small hand already slipping in and pulling a small piece out. "Ya know ya really shouldn't have Cowboy," she said as she popped a piece in her mouth and closed her eyes for a moment in delight. "nevahmind, ya really should've." She smiled before she began coughing again and had to reach over for her glass of water. "Nothing ruins the taste a chocolate quite like a bit a blood.." She looked down, having even grossed herself out by what she'd said. "heh, sorry."

Jack chuckled. "I know...its the least I could do..." He sighed when she coughed and opened up the bag of rock candy. "Here...sooth your throat." He tossed her a piece. "Save dah chocolate til you can enjoy it all.." He was happy to get back. He'd missed Sweets.

She gave a small nod and sucked on the rock candy, setting the chocolate on the small table beside her bed. "I'm jist worried I'll wake up ta find someone nicked it," she said with a grin, but reconsidered the idea with a shrug. "Though I 'spose no one 'round heah's well enough ta be sneakin' about anyways huh?"
She yawned and leaned back against her pillow, propping herself up slightly. "It'll be nice ta have a leadah again ya know, the Mouth aint exactly been 'round much, not that most us kids would listen ta him anyways.." She couldn't hide a small grin -- she'd never had much respect for David Jacobs and his book smarts.

Jack smirked. "No ones gonna nick it...I think coughin' will keep people from sneakin' too well." He chuckled.
"Well who was I supposed to put in charge? At least he has some athority sense..." He laughed. "But eyah, suppose no one would listen to him...glad nothin' too tremendous happened--I mean, besides the virus and all.."

"That ain't fair mate.." Dodger coughed a bit from the curtain, he hadn't know Sweets was sick to. For some reason he didn't like it. He looked over at Cheater and sighed a bit, well bloody hell, this was getting out of hand. Kids dropping like flies and hew as getting better. He looked at Jack, "And Cowboy's back.. no present for me, mate?" Truth be told he only knew Jack in passing, he'd always been to depressing to be around for to long, he seemed lighter. Must be that open air out west or something.

Cheater looked at Dodger and raised an eyebrow as if to say 'are you serious?' She coughed, covering her mouth with a handkerchief she found buried in her pocket.

Jack raised an eyebrow. "Ahh...Dodger. Now why would I get a lad a present? I ain't a funny man.." He spit in his hand, offering it to the boy. "Heard ya got the job of leadin' the Bronx kids.."

Dodger winked at Cheater, the girl was a laugh before he looked at Jack and spit in his palm, shaking his hand, "That would be, mate. I'm glad you're back.. not really the same without you around.." He looked down at Sweets. "I wont knick your chocolates love.. but you'll share with me?" He gave her his best please you love me look. "Please?"
