Fancy raised an eyebrow and stood "Sure is... The names Fancy..." she held out her hand to him....

Prince groaned. She'd already given away that she was a girl to this boy. She would have to watch herself from now on. She hardley felt safe being herself anymore. "An' I'm Prince," she said. "An for future reference... dun tell no one but newsies dat I'm a goil. I'm tryin' ta keep dat a secret," she said. This was proven true because of her hair still stuffed under her hat. She made a very serious point to make it known that no one but the newsies is supposed to know that she is really a girl. "Anyway... yeah, dis is da Queens lodgin' house heah... an' I"m da leadah of da place," she added.

'A goil leadah eh? Impressive...' Sparks thought to himself as he shook Fancy's hand.
"Nice to meetcha, and dun worry, Ise won't mention it to nobody. Is dont git how no one sees it though, yous too pretty to be a boy."
Setting down on the stoop next to the two girls, Sparks leaned back before speaking again, in a cheeky tone of voice, "You know if dis is what being a newsie is like, it sure beats bootblackin and bussin."

Prince had no comment on her past. She never did when it came to talking about pasts. "Well... ya got a place heah, and... thanks for keepin' dat secret," she said with a smile and nod to Sparks.

Prince looked at Fancy and gave her a shove just enough to knock her over not to seriously hurt her. Just... a little more than playful, but she did it with a smile. "I told ya not ta call me dat... an' no," Prince said simply.

Sparks laughed at the idea of calling Prince 'Princess'. She might not look like a Prince but she certainly didn't act like a princess either.
"Nah, she's not hoity-toity like a Princess. But I'd call dat a good thing."

"Thank you," Prince said with a smile. "An' I'd stick ta not callin' me Princess... 'less ya wanna lose ya head," she said. "B'cause dat's one thin' I can do. Say 'off wit' ya head,'" she said. She said it with a smile to show it was a simple joke, but... it's still safer not to call her a Princess.

Flanna slipped back outside leaving Prince and Fancy to themselves. No need to disturb them. She noticed some new boy with them, but she didn't speak up, and instead sat on the cement railing next to the door, leaning back on the wall, content.

Sparks looked up as another fella left the lodging house, it was good to know he wasn't the only one. Sparks was beginning to wonder if it was him and all girl newsies, not that he'd mind. Nodding to Prince and Fancy, Sparks joined the other guy on the railing.
"Hullo theah, fo' a minute Ise was wonderin if there was any odda fellas heah sides me. Name's Sparks, just came heah from the Kitchen."

Flanna nodded to him and scooted over a bit to give him more room. She put her hand out, keeping her voice steady and low. "Flan. I'm originally from Bronx area but I've travel'd about in the past years." She nodded a bit. "I've spent some time in tha Kitchen as well. In me..prior job." Her brough was slightly strong but understandable, keeping her front of a teenage boy intact. "Things are definitely betta her'e tho. " Flanna read people well, and she wasn't put off by Sparks, which spoke in his favour.

Sparks nodded, easily understanding the fella's heavy accent,afterall, Sparks was used to hearing 20 accents a day.
"Yea me an my twin grew up out theah since we got off da boat when wes was real young. Ise liked it out theah, but lately its been gettin too dangarous. My sisteh an Ise decided to getout while we could, sos heah I am."
