((im so glad. ^^ it just seemed a good time to put it in there...for some odd reason))
He nodded s lightly in return. "Thanks, man." He moved to the side and smiled. "This is going to be fun, explaining why im with the hattan newsie who broke my nose."
He turned toward Dusty, looking at her with a curious expression. "It has been hard on the newsies, yes...of course. But the leaders have it the worst, i think. It is our responsibility to protect you, and it is our minds that go overtime trying to think of ways to do that. Its hard, because we really aren't anything more but children ourselves, and we dont have all the answers. We learn as we go. This war, as bad as it is, will help us grow."

Dusty raised an eyebrow. This boy must have been maybe 18. He was wise beyond his years. "This is true..." she said quietly, considering his words. "I'm sorry i shouldn't have bothered you..." she whispered finally, turning away.

He reached out and grabbed her arm gently. "hey, dont worry about it. You didn't bother me, and it is nice to know how other's feel. Sometimes i dont listen as well as i should."

"Your wise beyond your years boy..." she told him. "And no one listens as well as they should." she gave him a small smile. "My names Dusty by the way..." she held out her hand without spitting on it, she found it a little bit gross.

Sneaks shrugged. Ace was articulate, comfortable with his words. Him and Ace were more alike than he once thought. "War makes strange bed-fellows. Your kids will listen to you." He looked over at Dusty. "Sneaks."

Dusty smiled, releasing Ace's hand and offering her hand to him. "Nice to meet you both..." she blushed again, meeting new people was a hard thing for Dusty because she was so shy. "Your from Manhattan aren't you...." she said absently.
((Shit, pretend thats Dusty... *smacks*))

Sneaks offered the girl a card in the handshake, nodding. "Yes. Gave Ace that broken nose, in fact...and he smashed my head in. ...we had an interesting path to becoming friends."

Dusty smiled at him. "Ah! Congradulations..." she took the card. "Whats this for?" she asked him curiously.

Sneaks smirked. "Something to remember me by." He looked at Ace. "Shouldn't we get on telling your kids? Every second they don't know what is going on, is another second Leone could be slitting someone's throat."

Dusty smiled down at the card, then hearing Sneaks' next few words her eyes widdened. "Leone? The lion?" she asked quietly. Oh she knew him...

Ace winced, the smile f lying off his face. "Yah....The lion....We gotta go, Dusty." He swept past her, "See you later!"

Dusty grabbed his arm. "H-he's not... here is he Ace?" she whispered in a deathly quiet voice. Her fingers shook on his arm.
