Cards snickered through her coughs. "Well, t'anks foah showin' compassion on li'l ol' me." She focused on breathing for a moment, the pain in her chest almost unbearable. "So, were you a'ways in New York? Oah you come from somewheah else? I'm from Boston, meself."

"Nah," Pepper shook her head, "I'm originally from Italy. I moved heah after... Well I came over heah when I was young. Grew up in an orphanage most of my life," she shrugged not to fond of discussing her past.

Cards nodded. "I heah yah. I grew in a convent." She rolled her eyes. "Bein' a 'good li'l Catholic goil' dat I am. I gots out as soon as I could. Comin' tah New Yo'k was da best thing that evah happened to me."

Pepper smirked, "I wouldn't go as far as ta say best thing ever, but it shoir beats the hell out of where I was livin'."
She glanced over at the other two patients, she could've sworn they were dead or something. Her eyes widened at the thought, considering it'd be entirely possible that they were. Pepper leaned her chair back, extending an arm and poking the leg of the guy.

"You obviously don' realize what da convent was like." Cards grumbled. She snickered as Pepper poked the boy's leg. "Oh, leave da poah guy alone." she said. "'E's not dead. I'se c'n see 'im breathin'."

Blink woak up with a groan, batting at the hand poking at him. "Hands off, broad..." He grumbled trying to sit up while hacking up a clot, pushing a hand through his sweaty hair.

Cards snickered, coughing. "See?" she said to Pepper. "I tol' yah." She turned to the boy. "Sorry 'bout her." she looked him over with a critical eye. "You need anyt'ing?"
Not that Cards should be the one tending to the sick when she was sick herself, but she was decidedly more healthy than he was.

Blink shook his head, taking a drink of water from the glass on the side table before tlaking again. "Nah...unless ya can put me outta my misery." He smirked weakly. "Yous don't look like ya from 'hattan...both o' yous."

Cards shook her head. "Sorry, mate. Don' want moidah on me resume. Bad foah gettin' a job, yah know?" She turned her head and coughed for a moment, wiping the blood on her trousers with a grimace. "We'ah from Brooklyn. Peppah dragged me heah agains' my will."
Okay, so Pepper only had to talk her into leaving the lodging house, but as it were, she never would have left if the other girl hadn't showed up. That was the same as dragging in Cards' book.

Blink grimaced and tossed her a clean towel. "Oi...Is know ya from Cards...but dats disgustin" In reference to her wiping her blood off on her pants--in a hospital type place. He wouldn't care in another place...but it made him shudder for some reason here.
"I'm Blink, if ya didn't know..yous are?"

Cards took the towel gratefully, and had the decency to look embarassed. "T'anks. I'm Cards. Good ta meet yah."

Pepper smirked at him, "Oi, I was doin' ya a favor. You could of been dead for all I know."
She returned the chair legs to the floor and let her arm fall down to the side, giving Blink a grin. Sure poking the kid wasn't the brightest thing ever, but hell she was bored.

"Who told ya 'bout that?" Pepper laughed, "I'll make a lil' note ta not help yous next time."
She draped her head over the back of the chair, now looking at Blink... upside down, "Nice ta meetcha, the name's Pepper."
Pepper wasn't usually this inviting, but considering their current situation, it probably wouldn't be appreciated for her to be a wise ass.
