"18.' He sighed, shaking his head. Why he was talking to himself, he never knew, but he was doing it just the same. "Hear that, mum?" He looked up at the dark sky and felt some anger rising in him. "I made it, without you." He paused then, thinking he heard something. Turning slightly, his sharp eyes pierced through the darkness.

Trying to see the face that turned back in his direction, Puck moved closer. For him being a Trickster, his sneaking skills weren't all that great. His breath shuddered as he drew closer. Can he see me? he asked himself.

Blaize's blue green eyes narrowed even further. He saw a shadow, but that was all. "Who is that?" He asked, nearly snapping. He sold the headlines, but he read them too. 'Dead body found in alleyway', 'young man strangled to death near the river'... Not him. He wasn't going to be a headline.

I should... I HAVE to let him know! he told himself with fustration. He tried his best to muster the courage. It had to be now or never. Standing straight and walking forward slowly, he softly whispered the name, "Puck."

Blaize's eyes flew wide open, and he stared. "...Puck?" He murmurred, the name coming so slowly to his tongue after so long.

Slowly, Puck gulped down the lump that had formed in his throat. His heart was racing like a horse, his chest ached as Blaize spoke his name. The words sounded so sweet. Finally he moved forward quicker until finally he was there, next to Michael.

For a moment there was silence, and then Blaize drew him into a hug. "What are you doing here, Robbie?" He murmurred. "You're supposed to be back home causing trouble."

"I... left in a sudden hurry. Everyone is fine back home but I just had to come. I happened to come on over and... well I heard someone mention your name. I... I couldn't help it, I was suppose to head on out but I ended up in the Manhattan Lodging. I just had to find out if it was true. I mean the way they said you looked. And look at you! ...wow you seem much older than the last time I seen you. So how long HAS it been?" Puck rambled. As he looked up into Michael's eyes he smiled and drew closer into the embrace. No words could describe the feelings he felt.

Blaize chuckled at him and shook his head, "My mind can only comprehend so much." He raised a finger and tapped the side of his head. "Im British." Not expecting the other to understand that small joke, he grinned. "So you're over in Hattan, huh?" He pulled him along as he started to walk.

Puck eagerly tried to keep pace with Michael. "Yeah thats where I came in at. I haven't seen much but from the looks of the place, kids are plentiful!" he chuckled at his small joke. He continued, "So where are you at?"

"Well, I work here in Queens, but I live with a good friend of mine - brother really - over in the Bronx." He grinned over at him, overjoyed to see his old friend. "But really... What are you doing here?"

Peem was walking home when he saw Blaize talking to some kid...so he decided to come over and say hello. A friend of Blaize was a friend of his.
Shoving Blaize a bit, Peem smiled brightly. "So..who's dis, Blaize? Don't tell me another brit!" He laughed good naturedly. "I'm Peem." He put his hand out to Puck.

Puck stared in wonder at this new stranger. He never saw the man walk up. When he regained his senses he gave a wide grin, teeth gleaming and a starry twinkle in his eyes. He took Peem's hand and shook it firmly. "The name is Puck, and you are....?"

Peem nodded. "Peem, mate." He smirked. "Blaize here is my brother of sorts...lives and somehow puts up with my Scottish arse."
He ruffled Blaizes hair a bit. "So Puck, mate...whats your story?"

"Oh, dont ask him that. We'll be here for a while." Blaize chuckled, shaking his head and ducking away from Peem. "Oi, hands off." He grinned, sticking his hands in his pockets. "Its easy to put up with you, but hard to get rid of you." Not that he would, in any case.
