Race wandered out of the lodging house, muttering under his breath about stupid rules, and pulled out his cigar. Lighting it up, he sat down and leaned back on the step.

Hawkeye covered her mouth to keep from laughing at the boy's muttering, as she leaned against the wall of the lodging house.
"Do you always grumble like that when you're told to smoke outside?" She just assumed that he was sent out here because smoking wasn't allowed inside the building.

Race watched the smoke puff up into the sky and sighed contentedly. "Nah, only when I get caught," he said smirking as he turned to face the voice. "You must be new, huh? Da name's Racetrack." Normally he would stand and offer his hand, but he was way too comfortable to even consider it.

Hawkeye laughed, "And how often are ya caught?" She leaned on the railing of the stairs, "Nah, I'm not new. I've been livin' an' sellin' 'round here for sometime," she paused, then added, "I'm Hawkeye."

He smirked again, removing his cigar. "About once a week or so." He cocked his head to the side and looked to her again. "Ya have? Strange I 'aven't seen ya round. Well nice ta meeetcha Hawkeye."

She shrugged, "I move around a lot, don't like stayin' in the same place for a long time, ya know? An' 's nice to meet ya too, Racetrack."
Hawkeye looked down at the steps, then back up at Racetrack, "You at Sheepshead Bay a lot?"

Hawkeye smiled, "I figured," she walked around and sat down, a few steps below Racetrack, "I don't go too often. Maybe when I got a bit o' extra money, but you can bet how often that happens," she rolled her eyes. Gotta love that lack of money, right?

Race nodded in understanding. "Trust me, I know exactly whatcha mean. I just lost all I'd been savin' for the past t'ree weeks taday. It'll be a while before I can go back and place a few bets."

Mush came dashing down the street and then swung himself across the front of the steps, landed, and spun back around. "Hiya Race!" he said with a smile. He was simply in a good mood, and having a good day or something. "Hey... I gots a question ta ast ya. Jewel's gonna be comin' 'round heah eventually... we's gonna go get somethin' for Blink. Youse wanna come a long?" He looked at Hawkeye, "Hey dere... youse can come too miss... miss... I'm sorry, I dun think I caught ya name. I'm Mush," he said taking off his hat, and offering his hand.

Jewel came sauntering out of the lodging house, immediately seeing Hawkeye, Mush, and Racetrack all gathered on the steps. "Hey guys... Mush." She smiled, "Ya ready to go?"

She looked up at Race, "I'm sorry," she paused, "Not to be rude, but what made ya bet it all?"
Her answer was delayed by a boy, Mush, apparently, rushing down the street and asking Race about... whatever it was that he was asking about.
Hawkeye stood up and shook his hand when he introduced himself to her, "Nice to meet ya, Mush, I'm Hawkeye."
She looked up to the doors of the lodging house as Jewel came out, "Hey, Jewel," she looked back to Mush, "Er, who or... what's a 'Blink'?" Hawkeye had lived here for a while, but certainly didn't know everyone.

"Hey Hawkeye," she smiled, taking a seat on the front step, making herself comfortable. She had overheard Hawkeye ask who or what was a 'Blink', so she decided to clear up the confusion for her. "Kid Blink," Jewel said, "he's our friend and fellow newsie."

"Yeah, Morris Delancey snapped his eye patch dis mornin' We's thinkin' of gettin' him a new one," Mush explained further. "I'se ready when youse is Jewels," Mush said with a smile. He stood infront of her and offered her his arm. "Shall we?" he asked being his usual charming self.
