David smiled. "Alright, I can do that." He looked at Jack carefully. "You alright?"

Jack smiled. "Yeah--or I will be. Once I get away...get to see that grand horizon over the desert..."

David nodded and grinned. "Hey Jack...?"

Jack looked up. "Yeah Davy? What is it?" He smiled and leaned back a bit.

((NEW DAY))
Skittery woke up with an agonizing groan. His head was throbbing, his nostrils were on fire, and his body ached. He opened his eyes trying to figure out where the heck he was...small room...bed...window...open door...Finally it clicked and he let out another groan - he was in Jack's room, on the floor, missing a boot. He felt like hell and slowly memories of the evening before flooded into his mind - booze, smokes, Smalls, Spot, the walk. He crawled across the room slowly reaching the bed and pulling himself into it - Jack deserted them so it wasn't like he was going to use it. Within a few moments he fell asleep again, his body delaying the inevitable hangover he was going to endure.

David walked into Jack's room. "Skittery?....Are you ok?" He asked.

Skittery opened his eyes only to immediately shut them. Light was irritating and he knew it was David before he had even looked. He let out a low moan and pulled the ratty blanket up to his neck. He wanted David to leave but knew he'd interrogate him before making any action, he was after all the walking mouth.
"No, Davy, do I look alright..?" in his current situation he still managed to have a bit of biting sarcasm. Davy's presence meant it was morning...or the afternoon-it was daylight at least. He remembered be blew all his money on drinks and groaned again knowing that skipping selling today would just put him in a bigger pinch.

David shook his head. "No...what happened?" Skittery was right, David couldn't just let it go. He needed to know what was going on. He couldn't help but we worried when someone looked that bad.
(sorry so short)

((No worries, my friend))
"Two words: McGinty's Special." The thought of the brown liqueur made him queasy and he leaned over the side of the bed waiting for the feeling to pass. After a moment of controlled breathing he sat up on the bed and started at his one bootless foot. He cursed quietly then looked up at David, "Ya didn't see my shoe on the way in did ya? Don't wanna trudge back to Brooklyn lookin' for the damn thing.."

David smiled. "Sorry Skitt. I haven't seen it...but there are a lot of shoes randomly around the place, maybe it's still around her..." He suggested. "Do you have another pair?" He didn't really think it was smart to walk all the way back to Brooklyn with only one shoe on.

Skittery furrowed his brow at his friend. His headache was making him more irritable than usual, and David was just being a pest with questions like that. "If I had another pair would I be wearin' one like this in the snow?!" He snapped and held up his foot to show the heal that was pealing off exposing his sock. He groaned again and put his head in his hands."Sorry, Dave.." Skittery muttered after a bit of silence, "it was jus' a rough night...an' I don't think I'll be settin' foot in Brooklyn fer awhile, shoe or no shoe.."
He shook his head then peered back at his curly headed friend. "Ya here for yer new leader duties?"

David just smiled, completely understanding how irritated Skittery would be from the loss of his shoe. If he got time he would go look for it. After a moment David nodded. "Yea...I just hope this all doesn't blow up in my face." he ran his fingers through his hair and sighed. If he couldn't get the trust he needed from the newsies then Manhattan would fall apart before Jack had been gone for very long.

Skittery fell back onto the bed and stared up at the ceiling. He traced the wood grain with his eyes trying to keep his thoughts off how bad he felt. "Well good luck.." he said gruffly, "Jack didn't really leave ya in a good position, Davy...people ain't happy an' with you defendin' him and bein' assigned leadah.. yer the one theys gonna attack..." He wasn't happy about the whole situation either. He doubted that Jack was going to come back, or that David was the right person to be leader (hell he didn't even live there) but then again he was a cynic...

David sighed. "Yea...I know.." he walked over to the window and looked outside. "But we'll get through. Manhattan is strong..."
