Cheater bit her tongue so she wouldn't laugh, finally laughing at Fancy for laughing at her. "What's... so... funny?" She gasped as she giggled madly.

Fancy laughed harder, if that was even possible."Cheats- Oh- adora-swee-jesu-oh-" she laughed again, wrapping an arm around her cramping waist. "Cheater! YOUR SO FUNNY!" she finally managed to exclaimed. Fancy's eyes watered, she hadn't laughed this hard for ages.

Cheater finally calmed down, clutching her stomach and giggling every few seconds. "Well I don't TRY to be funny." She said with a sigh and giggled again before laughing even harder... this was going to be a long day.

Ariannette looked up at the Lodging house. She had splurged on a taxi ride so it wouldn't take her as long to get there.
She was wearing a conseritavely cut maroon sweater, a black skirt on the bottom. Her corset was on, but it was loose enough not to make her look like some freakish china doll.
Knocking on the door as she went in, she spoke softly. "Hello? I..I need to speak to the Bronx leader pleae..."

Ace looked up from where he was collapsed in a chair, holding the hankerchief to his nose. "Well, you're looking at him...or at what's left of him." He gave her a wry grin.

Ariannette looked at the leader, her eyes widening. She hadn't come a moment too soon. "I see that...looks like someone wandered into another burrough, didn't you?"
She walked over and took the hankerchief from him, surveying the damage. "Oh goodness." His nose was crooked.
She crouched next to him. "I'm Ariannette LeFleur, by the way. From Caprice Hall." She paused. "I was coming to tell you that I'm opening my hall to the newsies. If you are injured or caught in enemy terriorty, you are welcome to stay at the hall. It's safe, and there will free beds and food for any of you." She knew that bronx and brooks didn't have papers in their burroughs and some of them would be getting hungry.
"Prince has given her word that any injured brooks or bronx kid will be allowed safe passage."
She sighed. "I'm also a nurse. May I...try and fix your nose...what is your name?"

He grinned at her, that sure was a lot to say. "Thanks for the message, and the name is Ac-" He paused then, "Daniel...And please do." He murmurred, referring to the nose. it hurt like heck.

She smiled. "Okay Daniel." She also added. "The cops know about this as well. Any of you caught during fights will be sent to my hall instead of the Refuge."
She pulled out two flasks. One filled with water, the other whiskey. "Now, this is going to hurt. You sure you can sit still?" She handed him the flask of whiskey. "And I think you might want to take a couple hits of this."

Ace took a deep breath, but took a sip or two from the whiskey before handing it back. "Thank you for helping us out, ma'am." He said softly. "its been a lot to us."

Ariannette smiled. "Call me Ariannette, please. Ma'am makes me sound so old...I ain't medda, you know." She laughed softly, but her face got serious.
"Okay. I'm sorry for this. I'm going to do this in two steps." She took out a small cloth and held it under Ace's nose, and poured whiskey over it, making sure to clean out all the cuts that had a bit of dirt and grime in it. It burned, she was sure, but she needed to disenfect it.
"First part done."

"Spot, you have two seconds to shut up or im coming ovah dere." He snarled, mostly because the whiskey hurt really bad. Especially when it dripped down and hit the large gash on the side of his face.

Ariannetted looked up at the new boy who came in. "Are you a Bronx newsie, or Brooks?.." She smiled. "I actually could use your help. Come over here and hold Daniel still for me. Cause whether he thinks he can or not, he won't be able to..."
