SlingShot bit her lip and nodded. It did make sense. The only thing holding her back was Spot and his reaction if he found out. "How much?" she asked, meaning how much would it pay.

"As much as you make. The more you income you bring, the more of it you'll get to keep. Of course, you'll have to return it all to me first, but then I'll instantly give you your cut from there,” he said with a smile. “How about it?”

She bit harder on her lip, mulling it all over. She wanted to, of course. She needed more money and was mildly sick of Spot. At the same time, she felt she was betraying him. She finally shrugged it off. If it was awful, she could always just leave. She nodded slowly. "I accept...", she said, a little bit of hesitance in her voice.

"Wonderful," he said with a smile. "And to make things even easier, you're more than welcome to join us here. We'll have a bed made all up for you, and so long as you work here then you haven't got to pay any rent at all," he reassured her. "So, if you'd like you can go and get your things, and come back here," he said with a smile to her.

SlingShot nodded, then shook her head. "I don't got nuthin'... she said quietly, looking down. She was all of a suddon filled with a desire to live with the Raconteurs. She was sick of the meager just getting by life she lived with the newsies. She pushed away all thoughts of Spot and Trigger and promises. She stood. "It's just meh..."

"Oh, well in that case," he said standing up and looking her over. "How about some new clothes? No offence, but these look a little worn, and I have some that would fit you beautifully," he said with his ever charming smile on his face still.

SlingShot smiled at him, having finally convinced herself that everything was fine. "That would be really great... I been wearin dis for weeks", she said, her voice lowering, and hanging her head in embarrasement, although she wasn't quite sure why.

Nick chuckled lightly. "It's alright. You can get yourself cleaned up, I'll get you some clothes, and you can make yourself look beautiful," he said nodding to her. Though he was slowly intending on turning her into a similarity of Flanna, or Murder, that would all happen in good time. First he had to fully gain her trust, which he was doing right now, though all he showed her was his caring side with his charming smile.

SlingShot smiled again, brightly, and nodded. "Thank you" was all she said. "Is there a room foah me?", she asked after a few moments of silence.

"Of course!" he said chuckling lightly. "Right up the stairs and to the left. Second room. There's a washroom at the end of the hall. When you get cleaned up the clothes will be on your bed," he reassured her with a smile.

SlingShot smiled and nodded and headed towards the stairs, practically skipping up them and into the washroom. She called a happy 'thank you' over her shoulder and entered the washroom to clean herself up.

Nick just smiled as she went up the stairs. Once she was gone the smile was off of his face as he went to the closet and pulled out a blue frilly dress that looked a little expensive, but a little tattered as well, not bad though. He pulled out a green one that had white lace on it as well. He closed the closet door and took them up the stairs and put them on her bed.
He then came back out, and grabbed some of the make up that Flanna and Murder used. He took that into her room as well and sat it on the bed beside the dresses. Hopefully she'd get the hint. He topped it off by placing a mirror on a table in the room as well.

SlingShot flounced out of the washroom and quickly found her new room. She smiled at the dresses on the bed and closed her door, quickly peeling off her old clothing and pulled the blue dress over her head. It wasn't exactly her style, but it felt nice to actually look like a girl. She turned back towards the bed and smiled a bit nervously as she picked up the makeup. It had been such a long time... She sat by the table and began slowly putting the makeup on in front of the mirror, humming a random tune.

Once Nick waited sometime he went upstairs and knocked on her door. "Miss... are you decent?" he asked with the same charming and relaxing tone he had had when he was talking to her downstairs.

SlingShot looked up in surprise, just finishing her makeup. "Yeah!", she called, still seated by the table and mirror. "Come in!"
