He was done with her arms and stomach very soon. "There," he said as he threw the cloth into the trashcan. "Done," he said nodding slightly. "It'll heal up in no time."

She nodded silently. "Thank you..." she said quietly. "Can I go back to my room now??"

He nodded. "Yep, but... please, if ya want to go anywhere just drop in and ask. I dont want to lose track of you. I mean, what if the newsies found out you left them, got mad, and then you got yourself in to trouble? Spot Conlon... Jack Kelly... a lot of those kids are kinda tough. I just don't want you goin' missing."

SlingShot nodded quickly. "Oh yes... I will... I promise...." she said quickly. She looked briefly down at herself. She still wasn't sure. Wasn't sure that this was all right. "Hey... cin... cin I have meh old clothes back??"

He looked at her and sighed a bit. He shook his head no. "Maybe later, but I can get you a better dress if you'd like one." This one was a little ragged and stained now. He had better things if she'd rather wear them instead. It was just a thing in his head. Girls had to wear dresses... that's his rule.

She sighed. She wanted her old, comfortable clothes back. "why?". She wasn't trying to be defiant. She just didn't understand why she couldn't wear her more comfortable clothing.

"Well for one, You really do look pretty in that dress, it was no lie," he said nodding to her. "For two, you're a girl. Girl's wear dresses, it's one of my rules. It's either that, or nothing," he said. "Maybe when you get a bit higher up we'll see about your old clothes," he said nodding slightly to her.

SlingShot ignored most of his speech. "I ain't wearin dis anymoah", she said stubbornly, crossing her arms across her chest.

He shrugged a little. "Then either find a nother dress or wear nothing at all. I'm sure Wes would love that," he said with a touch of sarcasum, though he was nearly certain it was true. "We do have some more comfortable dresses... maybe you'd rather wear one of them." They were cotton, like a newsies dress, just... she couldn't wear pants, that's all.

She grunted in frustration. She wanted SOME say in her life. "Look... I don't feel like being locked in a closet again, so I'm trying not to cause a fight, but I have a problem with spending my time being stuck in a dress..."

He shrugged a little. "I understand, but... why does it really matter? It's just a piece of fabric. Better than not wearing nothing at all am I right? Come on... it won't be all bad. Maybe if ya wear shorter pants under ya skirt. Then you'll still look the part, and wear what you want?"

SlingShot sighed. She obviously wasn't going to be winning this one. "Fine.... but... do you happen to have something less...", she looked down at herself, "Frilly?"

He nodded. "Sure, we got a lot of simpler stuff. Come on," he said as he led her to the hall closet where he kept the dresses. "In here are all sorts of dresses, go ahead and take a look," he said opening the closet door for her so she could go in and look around. "The farther back ya go, the simpler they get."

SlingShot followed him to the closet and stepped in, immediatly going towards the back. She wanted the simplist they had. She began rifling through them, pulling out a simple brown dress with no lace or frills on it.

He stood waiting for her at the door. The last thing they needed was Wes coming along and closing the door on her or something silly like that. "Find one you like?" he asked. He figured she'd want to look as close to a newsie as possible, though he had no idea why. They wouldn't have much respect for her now, deserting them and all. He figured she'd rather look nice now that she could, but... he wasn't going to push it. Surely she'd realize it later.
