Lukas was standing where the sand met the dirt staring out towards the wretched water. From time to time he did this, almost to face his fears but too chicken to really take them on full force. He was sucking on some hard candy he had stolen earlier that day - dinner. Scanning the sand he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. Cheater.
The sand. He looked at it for a minute then slowly stepped onto it. After the first step it came easier and he walked briskly up to her and plopped onto his stomach next to her. "Guten Abend Cheater!" He said as jolly as possible, one eye staring at the now much closer shore line, and held up a nicely wrapped candy, "wanna treat?" Like usual he was oblivious to everything around him, cheater's attitude amungst them.

Cheater looked at Lukas and shook her head. "No thanks." She replied, smiling slightly. "So... how're you?"

He was happy she declined and eagerly unwrapped the candy and shoved it into his mouth. "I'se alright.." He slurped as he talked thanks to the multiple peices of candy, "had a hard day sellin'...but i did good" He lied, he only sold the small amoutnt Ace got him which was litterally nothing. "What about you? Sittin' out 'ere alone at night ain't usually da smartest place fer a lady.."

"Ah well, I ain't sleeping so well anymore, plus that second job that makes more than being a Newsie ever did," she said with a smile, "things are going great. As for the whole being alone out here at night not being the smarest thing for a lady, I'm not technically a lady until I'm married, old, and completely rid of my sense of adventure and humor."

Lukas snorted, "Well don't you 'ave a way fer twistin' lodgic all 'round.." He smiled a bit at her and started to burrow his hands into the cool sand. "Didn't know ya got another job, where ya workin'? Store or somethin'?" He throught for a minute and went back to a previous thought. "wouldn't dat be a hag? not a lady." He spat out quickly, drooling slightly and quickly wiping it away.

"No." She said with a laugh. "A hag would be un-married. A lady, or an old one in the case I just described, would have lost all her sense of humor and adventure... and I work at Lombardi's."

"Hag, lady...their all broads" He spat out without any thought. "Lombardi's" He continued without skipping a beat, snorting slightly, "pricey Italian…it’s alright but don’t beat a nice bratwurst. Lukas started to pile some sand into a mound, attempting to sculpt it.

Cheater's mouth dropped open. "You didn't just call women broads did you?" She questioned, her eyes narrowed slightly and she ground her cigerette into one of the rocks.

Lukas looked up at her dumbly "wha..?" Then it clicked and he remembered what he said with a grimace. "uhh jus' hags and dem unadventerous ladies you was talkin' bout.." He attempted to save himself and gave her a pained smile. "you don't wanna be eithah one.....candy?!" He offered her a sweet again despite her past refusal.

Trying her best to look mean and failing, she shook her head. "No thanks, and you're a horribe liar."

He clenched his jaw, "an' your horrible at bein' intimidatin'..." He put the candy in his own mouth and chomped at it loudly finishing it all off by a smug smile

"I'll be intimidating when I hit my growth spurt." Cheater explained, knowing very well that she had hit her growth spurt at age six and wouldn't ever hit another one, but it's always nice to dream.

"Yeah, you an me both.." He added rather touchily knowing he too was past the point of growth. At least he was bigger than her...barely. "'least yer a goil an people don't care much if yer all small.." He got off his stomach, which was now covered in sand, and sat besides her indian style, making sure he got a clear view of the shoreline.

"Yeah, but it isn't much help if you're fighting." She replied. "But then again... if you're small, you can look like you don't know a whole bunch about fighting and then surprise 'em..."

Lukas nodded quickly having learned a thing or two about fighting Ace earlier - he had the scratched up knees to prove it. "What ya so concerned 'bout fightin' anyways. Ya don't seem like da type and most da time us men are out dere protectin' you young adventurous ladies" He made to stress a few key words going back to their earlier scuffle.
