Lukas looked down at the water with a scowl. He hated the water because he couldnt swim at all but it was everywhere. He sighed and continued back across to the Bronx. He had spent the day attempting to sell in Manhattan for no reason in particular. He hadnt done too well - he still had about 20 paper in his hands but they were worthless at this time of day. He stopped again looked at the water and chucked the stack into the river below. He snorted down at the newsprint as it tumbled into the water. At least that way no one could give him hell for not sellign everything...

"Now, see, tha's a waste of newsprin', tha' is, boyo." Slinks murmered, comming up to stand beside him as he let the papers fly. The pieces of paper spiraled from momentum, taking a few moments to reach the water, becoming transparent and dark upon hitting the water.

Lukas turned his head quickly up towards Slinks and let out a quiet German curse. He had be caught. "It aint no waste - it was garbage!" He said rather defensively. He stared back at the river for a few minutes and then looked back at Slinks. "You won't tell nobody will ya? I mean bout the papes....I dont need nobody ridin' me" He could not handle criticism very well no matter what it was about.

Her eyebrow went up. "'Course I won't..." Fighting to keep herself from going on the defensive, like he had, she continued. "If ye couldn' sell 'em, ye can always use 'em for...eh..."

"Exactly. Nothin'" He pushed his hair from his eyes then looped his fingers under his suspenders. "And thats why I fed 'em to the lousy fish." He scowled for a moment then softened his face, "thanks , by the way, dont want any rumers started bout how i'm a terrible newsie ya know, cause I aint. It was jus' a bad day" He felt the need to build himself up

Slinks shrugged, looking down at the water. "We all ge' those, mate. I' 'appens...Nothin' t' be 'shamed of."

Lukas stiffened up, it was impossible for him to admit his own faults. "You may 'ave days like that but not me...well not usually" He started to get uncomfortable, selfconsceince and afraid that he might actually look like a normal human being so he quickly changed the subject. "One yer way to see Ace i'm asumin'" He raised his eyebrow in suggestion and let out a snicker

Her jaw dropped, face turning red as she gave him a 'You said WHAT?!' look. "Y- !! Cheeky li'le-!" Face burning a dull crimson, she nodded. THAT was a surprise if there ever was one...Yeeshes.

His mouth curled into a huge grin, loving the fact that he caught her so off gaurd. "Hey Slinks" his grin faded into a look of concern " yer a little flushed,looks like ya got a bit too much sun..." he put the back of his hand up to her forehead - He just coulnt help it.

Swatting his hand away, eyes narrowed slightly, she muttered. "Yeah. Too much sun." Oi, that WAS a slam in the side. "I'd nick yer 'at fer tha', boyo, bu' yer lucky I ain't in th' mood." She poked him in the side. Hard.

Lukas gave her a mock frown and took a step back - her jab actually did hurt a little. "Hold on dere! It's just a bit a fun nuthin' serious" He tried to look somewhat hurt. "Yer jus' a testy one aint cha?" He gave her a pouty lip and started to walk away. A moment later he turned around, the grin back on his smug face, "ya might wanna find some shade. I do belive yer burns gettin' worse by the minute"

She seemed to choke for a second, cheeks flaming a brighter red. "Gah! Ye-!! Lukas!! Arrrgh!" Lunging forward, she made an overshot swipe at the top of his head, momentum sending her stumbling a few feet past him.
Then she grinned innocently at him, twirling his hat around on her right hand. She started to walk backward slowly, then sped up.

"Hey dat aint funny!"His whole demenor had changed - no longer arogant but instead vulnerable and childish . He started to walk towards her, reaching out for the hat with one hand and wipeing his greasy hair from his eyes with the other. "Common Slinks!" He whined and sped up - it was like teasing a dog. "What I'd evah do ta you huh?" he said stupidly

Impish grin still in place, she kept up her backwards walk/jog. "I won' give ye th' satisfaction of an answer fer tha'." She said, moving the hat just out of his reach.
