Sneaks slipped into the balcony of Caprice hall. THe place was empty save a few stage hands. Perfect for talking. "So...what is up? What is wrong?" He leaned back a bit in a chair, pulling out his cards. (again..)

Ace sat down, leaning forward, his hands clasped in front of him. He spoke in a soft voice, for minute after minute, telling Sneaks everything. His past, his brother, the injuries, how he felt...he told him all the way up to coming to Bronx, and then he told him about Drifter and Prince, seeing Leone again, out in the Bronx, at the lodging house, waiting for him.

Sneaks cursed a bit. "Well, sh*t." He had been lucky...his past wasn't that bad. "Well...something has to be done. And I'll tell you one thing--he lays a hand on you, he will have to deal with both of us."

Ace gave him a small smile. "Thanks, man. I'm worried about my kids though...He has no worried about going through innocent bystanders, and if he shows up in the Bronx, he'll tear through them to get to me."

Sneaks nodded. "Yeah...well..." He started laying out cards on the balcony, almost as if he was playing with an imaginary opponent. An Ace of Spades...a King of Clubs..."You are going to have to put yourself out there. And perhaps others who are willing to risk. And that are you are willing to risk." He pulled out the Jack of Hearts. "...though it might be best for it to be me and you." He looked up at Ace. "That is the option to protect Bronx." He pulled out the Joker. "Or you can cut an run....those are the options."

Ace watched the other with a detatched sense of self, his eyes haunted and clouded over. His mouth was a thin line as he listened, realizing the kid was right. There weren't many options left, and all of them seemed to risk someone, someone other then himself.
"I've never been one to risk anyone else in a fight that is so clearly my own. I've always done it myself, by myself, and that is a very hard habit to break." He turned his head away, gazing off straight ahead. "I dont want to risk my kids, they are my responsibility as leader...But i will give them a choice. This is their home, Leone is invading on everyone's lives, not just my own."

Sneaks nodded. "However...some are stupid enough to fight when they aren't able." He paused. "I would suggest not allowing the girls or younger newsies to fight. Perhaps its sexist..." He shrugged.

He shook his head, "No, that is what i am planning on doing in any case." He bit his lip, "Am i doing to much? I know why Leone is here... But is it possible im wrong about it?" He knew he wasn't, but he needed to hear it from someone else.

Sneaks shook his head. "There is a chance you are wrong. But you are actually more than right. Your history with Leone should show you exactly what he is here for." He sighed. "So no. You aren't wrong...you are looking at the only conclusion." Sneaks never gave a straight answer, but there, he had.

He nodded, "Thanks." He got up and leaned on the balcony rail, "Maybe a leader needs their newsies more than the newsies need their leader." He murmurred. "Prince is smarter then she knows...even if you aren't one of my kids." He gave him a small smile. "Its funny. Everything happens for a reason...so this war was meant to happen. For good, for bad...who knows."
((take from Prince without permission. Dont hurt me!))

"For bad i'd say..." came a new voice. Dusty stepped forward out of the shadows and leaned on the railing between Sneaks and Ace. "Dah only thing dis stupid war 'as done is tear dah newsies apart..." she informed him. "It ain't fair tah dah rest of us..." she shook her head sadly. It wasn't like Dusty to be so forward, but she felt she needed to have a leader know her thoughts and opinions on this particular matter. So she bit back her nerves and spoke.

((I'm lost..what are you talking about??))
Sneaks nodded and stood as well, putting his cards back in his pockets. "You ready go to talk to your kids? I'll come with you, make sure if something goes down, you arent alone."
