Moira paused and put a hand on his arm. "I bet it does--you cut quite the dashing figure with it on, I must say." She smiled warmly at him. She was wrong to have made the statement, but as she knew, sometimes her mouth ran away with her.

Blink couldn't help but laugh. "Me? Naw. If you want to talk about those that cut the dashing line, you would look to Jack." He grinned back at her. "I just look like a pirate, and a lanky one at that."

Moira paused and laughed. "I think pirates are much better than cowboys. Rather ride the open sea than a desert." She smirked. "Much less dusty."

That one couldn't be faulted, and he chuckled, shaking his head. "Now, you see, that i can relate to. Give me a boat over a horse any day." He ran a hand through his hair, a lot more relaxed now then he had been before.

Moira nodded. "Yes...as you can tell..I'm not the best on land." She laughed. "Though I'm glad I got shipwrecked here, to turn a phrase." She sighed. "I would love to go on a boat though. Never done that...never had the chance."
She shrugged. "Oh well, guess I'll wait for the next pirate ship to put in port and climb aboard." She smirked. When she was younger she had read every book on pirates she could get her hands on...and she knew very well they no longer existed.

As did Blink. Unfortunately. Looking at her from the corner of his eyes, he made up his mind, and smiled. Sitting up straight, he pointed toward a river none too far away, that opened up to the sea. It wasn't that far from where they were. "see that? Im going to build a boat, and you and I are going to go riding. Doesn't matter how far...Just so we can say we have."

Moira raised an eyebrow at him and laughed. "I bet you tell that to all the girls." She smirked. "...and doubt we'll go far. I say the boat sinks in record time." She smiled and patted his arm. "Not that I dont have faith in you."

He scoffed. "For your information, I mean it." He was good at building things, when he put his mind on it. He could make a boat if he really wanted to. A small one, very small...But a boat nonetheless. "And i'll place a bet on that. I bet it doesnt."

Moira raised an eyebrow. "And if I win the bet, what do I get, besides a soakin' in the river?" She laughed. This was a good time, and she was happy she didn't have to worry about walking home in the dark.

"A pirates humblest apologies, fair lady." He gave her a slow bow of his head, "And my sales dat day." His eyes glittered. Blink wasn't the best, say as good as Jack, but he was a fair seller, that much was true. On a good day, which was what they had been having lately, he pulled in a fair, fair share.

Moira shook her head. "I'll take the apology, but not the money." She smiled softly. "Money is important, no need to fritter it away on me if you lose." She herself managed to do average for a girl, which was worse than a boy. But she didn't complain. A little money was better than no money.

"Ah, see." He raised an eyebrow, "I dont plan on losin anyime soon. And besides, its a gamble in and of itself. A fair day of sellin or a not so fair one. But ill concede the point." He shrugged. Didn't really matter to him if she took the money or not. But he was Ryan "Kid Blink" Ballatt, and he could make sure, even if he won, she was walking away with something other then a boat ride.

Moira shook her head. "Such the boy..rambling on when you don't need to." She elbowed him playfully. " Smiled happily. "But if you really think you can build a boat and take some girl you've just met out on a trip...I'll take you up on it."

"But of course." He grinned at her, the glint in his eye that said he would definately be doing that. "You bettah." He stretched and laid back, flat on the roof, staring up at the sky.

Moira laughed. "Well just make yourself at home!" She paused. "Oh...guess you can." She shook her head. "Sometimes I just don't think." She sat there, dangling her legs off the edge, feeling she was losing things to talk about. "Soo...how long you been a newsie? How old are ya?"
