He looked her over, before grinning and shaking his head. "You'll do fine, im soah. " He leaned back even farther, looking up at the stars. "...And its nice to be free. Make your own decisions, rule your own fate." He laughed a bit. "But listen to me. Im rambling."

Moira nodded. "Yeah it is...lost my parents early--but hasn't harmed me none." She laughed. "And I know whatcha mean...ramble away. Nice to meet someone who doesnt have some horrid sob story or wants to kill me just because I looked at them funny."

Blink couldn't keep the smirk off his face. He could guess at who those people might be. "Naw. You just gotta find da people who aren't hiding themselves by bein a newsie. There are a lot of people who become newsies and then complain all the time, or try and be something they aint." He shook his head. "Not me. Im a newsie, and im happy with it. Its a family."

Moira nodded. "Yeah..sounds like the orphanage. We were our own family...a rag tag family...but a good one none the less." She smiled. "But wont lose as many to runnin or bein' taken I bet." She adjusted the kerchief on her head. "So anything important I need to know? Except avoid Spot?" Her clear green eyes glittered.

Blink watched her from the corner of his eye, laughing softly. "That'd be a good one... But really, its a learn as you go thing. You make friends, you make enemies. -The delanceys bein a good example - and pretty soon, it just goes back so quickly, you dont even think about it." He knew that was how it had been for him.

She smiled her big winning smile. "Good...I think I take things on pretty quick. Sure I'll end up with my own bumps and brusies, but I don't mind a few." She looked at him. "But glad I got a least one friend in another burrough."

Blink grinned back at her, "Stick around, you'll make more, im sure." He laughed and fixed the strap on his eyepatch absently. "Loath i am to share you, though..." He teased good naturedly, shaking his head.

Moira laughed. "Aye..I've heard pirates are loath to share things, but guess I have first hand knowledge." She smirked. "But alas...I am not yours, nor a thing, am I?"
She looked out on the city, sighing. "Yeah. I'm pretty good natured. Nothing bothers me much. So hopefully others wont take issue with me."

He winked, striking a pose. "Aye, a tough, weathered pirate like myself keeps things to the death." He looked at her, and put on a dazzling smile, bowing his head, "But you are correct. You are neither mine nor a thing, so i am afraid i will just have to pine away."
He paused, and followed her gaze, thinking. "Naw. You'll be fine. A lot of people aren't what or who they appear to be. There are a lot of people here who will want to be your friend, but dont know how to get to it, and others who will just jump at the chance to meet you."

Moira laughed at his display, shaking her head. "Oi...doub't there is another like you in the city, Blinks."
She paused. "Aye...but I'm just plain jane Moira. Nothing more, nothing less." She smiled. "And I'm happy with that. People like me, fine...don't, too bad for them."

Blink nodded. "You'd be right on that one. Im in a class by myself, i guess you could say."
He looked at her from the corner of his eye and smiled. "Yah....And thats why people will like ya. Because you dont put up fake smiles, and play on false pretences. You're real, and people will see that." He had, after all. If he hadn't liked her, he wouldn't have offered she stay.

Moira smiled a bit. "Yeah...but not a bad class, I must say."
She blushed a bit at his comments, her freckles standing out a bit. "Well...uhh thanks, I guess." She had never been the best with compliments. "but you can tell that all from spendin' ten minutes with me?" She smirked a bit, recovering.

"Its just...amusing." He winked. "My class, that is."
Nice. Blink couldn't help but think. He knew there was a lot of people who couldn't recover from anything, and that only made him smile. "Soah can. Im a good judge of people."

Moira smirked. "...this is coming from a guy with one eye--who probably lost it in a fight."
She paused and realized maybe she shouldn't have said that. She didn't know if he was sensitive about it--she really didn't know him well at all. Hopefully she hadn't said somthing horrible.

Blink stilled, a soft breath easing out from between his lips. "A long time ago. But not how you would expect." He shrugged a bit, making an absent gesture and turning his head to the side, hiding the patch. It was a habit.
"In any case, Its something i live with, and it helps me sell more papes. Always a plus." He smiled at her.
