Reno looked up at the sky that night as he sat down on the beach, leisurely removing his shoes and socks before setting his bare feet down in the cool sand. The tide was never high at this point and he was just out of it's reach regardless, the water nearly nipping at his toes.
It had been a while since he came to New York and Reno had found his way here. A beach, a beautiful one at that, nice and quiet. The stars were lit up in the sky and the moon was full, something he rarely ever saw back home. He was proud of himself that he had made it all this way by himself, but there was still something missing.
Reno often chose this spot for quiet contemplation, or even just a place to wind down after a rough day. He did what he could to get by, usually odd jobs that required a hefty hand or the strength of an ox. He was notorious for never backing down and getting into fights, but he had never started one. Today was a casual day though, no fights, no jobs, no nothin'.

Coming back from brooklyn, jester made her way to the bronx, wondering if she might find a certain someone. Hed been gone for some time just... disappeared and she wasnt sure if shed see him again. It ws strange specially since he said nothing to her. She shrugged her shoulders a bit, making her way down towards the beach. She licked her lips, her long curls down her back as she twirled one around her finger. Her bowler atop her head, and since it was just a tad to big it fell down over her eyes and she used her free hand to tip it back up again.
It had been a crazy week, selling was slow due to crap for headlines and jester being crafty as she was, still was not that good at selling, even though shed been doing it for quite a while now.
As she walked along the sand she spotted someone up ahead, her chest tightened thinking maybe it was him, her throat closing with excitement and she couldnt call out since her voice seemed to have disappered, though... as she got closer she could make out more of the form and ralized it was not him. She frowned a bit, but not completely. She usually liked new people. "Penny for your thoughts?"She asked as she was only a few feet from him, and then once she was near him plopped down next to him, leaning back as she crossed her legs, a playful smirk on her lips.

Reno could hear the light squishing of the sand behind him and at first paid it no heed. It wasn't until there was a voice that he had even realized that the girl was heading in his direction. His face turned to meet her gaze as she plopped down in the sand. He turned just a bit so he could face her and the ocean still.
"Hope you got a bunch, then." Reno smirked slightly as he made the joke. It was true that he thought a lot out here, you could see it in his eyes. They always seemed to be searching for something out here, rather it be an answer to a question or a question for an answer. He came out here to think, after all.
"Name's Reno." He said quickly, actually happy to have some company for once. People rarely came out here at this time of night in his experience, but he wasn't just about to push anyone away. It had been far too long since he had any decent company.

She grinned at that and pulled out about five pennies and a knickle. "well...'SHe said, "Will this do?'she smirked. She rarely relied on money to get her by, only because she was so bad at earning it, but she was usually able to charm her way into getting free food or drink from someone.
She placed the money back in her pocket. "Jester'She said, "id bow but unfortunately im siting...'She shrugged and leaned forward placing her hand in the sand makinga hand print. She was a very petite girl and a lot of peoople usually mistakened her for a lot younger then what she was. Barely standing at five feet tall and being as small as she was, she looked frail almost. Its where she was able to get at least some of her papers sold. Though th eonly give away she had was her curves. Underneath the too big shirt and too big pants, held up by suspenders, she surprisingly had some.
"You new around here?"She asked, "aint never seen you befor"

"Sorta." Reno smirked again. He couldn't help but smirk when he thought he said something silly.
"I've been around for a short time. Came from out west, ya know." He said without thinking. He nearly chuckled when she showed him the money but kept it down as he realized she didn't even ask him where he had come from. Reno nearly blushed, but shrugging his shoulders he continued on.
"I always come here to think at night." He said, practically coming here every night that he could find the time to do it. Leaning his head back, he looked at her and tried to sum her up. It was hard to do with the baggy clothing she was wearing and the hat was a little big for her, though it looked kind of cute.
"What about you? What're you out here for?"

"oh out west?"she asked, "Were in the west?"She licked her lips bringing her knees up and cirling her arms around them, her chin resting atop them as she looked at him curiously. Her hat fell down over her eyes agian and she gave a frustrated sigh as she tipped it back up again. Her waist length curls falling forward a bit over her shoulders.
"Ah... well its a nice place for thinkin i suppose"She said and shrugged looking around, her eyes getting captured by the water as it splashed agianst the rocks. She blinked her ocean blue eyes back to Reno.
"Hm..."She tilted he head making a look of thought before shrugging. "well I was just passing through really.."She said, "I was coming from brooklyn .... its really not on my way i dont think, but i have a slight fondness for the bronx."

"Out west, from Reno." Reno said, figuring she would make the obvious connection between the place and his name. It wasn't too hard, he had just picked up the name from a previous employer.
"Nice and quiet at least. Not many people to come and bother me." It came out of his lips before he even realized what he said. "But don't take that the wrong way! I like company." Reno caught himself and chuckled.
"Just passin' by? I guess I can see that. It's a nice place and a great thing to look at. Comfortable spot, ya know. Guess I got a fondness for this place myself, but then there's no where else to go for me." Reno's gaze shifted a bit to the water as he mentioned the last part.

She blinked a bit and nodded biting her lip a bit. "Right...'SHe said, "heh... Suppose I should have thought of that' she shrugged." oh well..."She wiggled her nose a bit, as she let her gaze move from him. She hugged her knees even more. She wasnt sure what the wather was suppose to be. It was probably one of the warmer nights for the past week, though it wasnt all that warm, shed lost her jacket, something she hadnt been real happy about.
Jester was not fond of the cold by any means and her only luck was that the the night wasnt as bad as it had been. Though she was cold, she could deal with it. She raised her brows at his comment and smirked a bit her eyes glinting with slight humor as he tried to assure her that he hadnt meant it so. "mm.. dont worry, I wouldnt have taken it the wrong way even if it had been that way in stead."
She nodded then looked at him. "you sound very well... kinda down. We need to do something about that..."she said. Her bum was getting cold from the cool sand. She stood up brushing her butt off. "Come one chap"she smirked.

Reno never did anything with anyone. He survived by doing odd jobs wherever he could. No real friends, but at the same time no real enemies, he came and went as he pleased and didn't have to second guess himself or anyone else. It had been a long time since anyone had even wanted to do anything with him.
Within a few seconds time Reno had pulled on his socks and was slipping into his shoes. After dusting the sand off his pants he looked at her for a moment.
"I don't know if I'm down, a little lonely maybe and possibly a bit bored.." Reno raised a brow as she called him chap, it was a name he had never been called before, let alone by a girl.
"Where do you wanna go, huh?" He said, having half a mind to laugh at the sudden urge to go somewhere. Even crazier, he was actually considering going someplace with her.

"mm.. well either way, need to get your mind off it"she nodded firmly with that ever present smirk on her lips. She tilted her head thinking a moment... "not sure... lets just go...'She said. "Wanna get a drink?"she asked, raising her brows, it was a favorite past time with the newsies, and well with her especially.
"We could head back to brooklyn"She suggested, her favorite place to drink was mcgintys pub, and actually the place shed just come from, though she hadnt had much to drink so far.
"Or...'She said, "Wel its quite late, "shes srhugged, "unless we start breaking into places there isnt much to do specially with this cold weather"She shivered at that thought.

"A drink, huh? Doesn't sound too bad I suppose. Might make me stop thinking about things for a while anyway. That and company, I mean." Reno spoke in a monotone voice and took one last look at the water. He probably wouldn't be back tonight, but that was okay.
"So where are we headed then? For a drink, I mean." Reno tried to size her up now, but all he could notice was that she was shivering. He didn't realize how cold it was, but he was kind of used to it from the cold nights back in his home town.
"Are ya that cold?" He asked with a brow raised.

She nodded> 'arlight great'She said with happy enthusiasm, even if he didnt have the same excitement, but that wass jester. She put her hands in her pockets. "McGintys pub"She nodded. "best place for a good drink, "
She looked over at him, a glint in her ocean blueeyes and she smirked. "aye"she said, with a slight wink, 'But Im used to it. I run cooler then usual so I get cold easily, but nothing I cant handle, sides a few more drinks I wont be feelign much of the cold"she smirked.

"McGintys Pub eh? Well I haven't been around too much, so you're gonna have to lead the way. I sure you know it, even in the dark." Reno smiled slightly. It wasn't that he wasn't excited, it was just that at night his mind was always plagued with a lot of thought. He found it hard to break away from it, but he would do the best he could right now.
"Well if ya get too cold, you can borrow my jacket. Cold is natural for me, 'specially at night. Don't want you gettin' sick or nothin' on my account." Reno shouldered the jacket down a bit to show that he would give it up if she wanted it.

(New Day))
Evie strolled along the beach and held her hat firmly on her head as she looked out over the water, there was something about this that almost reminded her of Boston. It could be the sea, maybe it was the sea. She smiled and closed her eyes-- loved the smell of the salt in the air and the sound of the waves. It was better than listening to her brother goad her or try to get her to do what he wanted. She was not his little mouse any longer--
