"Thank ya."
Rip cracked a smile back at her. "Whenever you two are done here we can head over ta eat. Not a long walk from here."
He kept an eye on them while also glancing around. It was getting a little late. He didn't know what happened around here at such an hour. There was no way he was going to risk it.

It looks great on ya
She smiled a bit as she looked back at him. "Ya think?" Firecracker looked back in the mirror. "What do ya think Mathias?" She questioned looking back at them. Firecracker noted the way Mathias kept looking around. He didn't seem comfortable or relaxed. Like he was expecting something bad to happen. She finally noticed how late it was starting to get. Was that what was worrying him?
"Green's one a my favorite colors, ya know." She stated as she reluctantly started taking the ribbon out. Maybe if they moved on and had something to eat he would feel better and actually enjoy what was left of their day. Firecracker also knew that should probably couldn't afford it and even if she could she should save her money. Being away from her brother taught her that money was always needed and having extra for emergencies was never a bad idea.
Whenever you two are done here we can head over ta eat. Not a long walk from here
Firecracker gently sat the ribbon back on the table, and put on a smile. "So where is this place? Will we have to eat with chop sticks? Francis said he tried to use chop sticks once and his food went everywhere but his mouth." She said trying to move past the ribbon she didn't really want to leave. "I think maybe I could use chop sticks. And what do you eat with chop sticks? How does it work? They're just two stick how do ya get rice? It must take a long time to eat." Firecracker knew she was rambling but it's all she could think of doing.

"Ya think?"
Sherlock gave her a nod. "Yup. It looks real great."
"Green's one of my favorite colors, ya know."
He grinned. "Yeah? Mine's blue or red. I'm not sure which one I like best."
He watched her leave the ribbon. He wondered why she didn't buy it before scolding himself inwardly. Not everyone had extra pocket money to spend. Perhaps he could get it for her as a gift? Nooooo, he was thinking too far ahead. He would keep it in mind though.

"What do you think Mathias?"
Rip looked over, slightly surprised that she was asking his opinion. He studied her for a moment then nodded. "It looks real nice. Brings out your eyes."
"So where is this place?"
He gestured down a nearby street. "Just half a block down that way."
He carefully guided the younger newsies in the right direction.
"Will we have to eat with chop sticks?"
Rip chuckled. "Don't know about have ta, but I think you can try if you want ta."
"Francis said he tried to use chop sticks once and his food went everywhere but his mouth. I think maybe I could use chop sticks. And what do you eat with chop sticks how does it work? They're just two sticks how do ya get rice? It must take a long time to eat."
He shrugged as Firecracker continued talking. A small smile was on his lips as he listened. "I don't really know how it works. Never tried... suppose you could always ask. People at the restaurant are real nice. Sure they wouldn't mind teachin' you if you asked."

Yup. It looks real great.
It looks real nice. Brings out your eyes.
She smiled a bit. "Ribbons are nice. Very fancy." Firecracker said with a quick glance back at the ribbons.
Yeah? Mine's blue or red. I'm not sure which one I like best.
Firecracker smiled brightly. "I have 7 favorite colors. Green, purple, red, blue, orange, silver and gold." She listed them off quickly.
Just half a block down that way.
She nodded a bit and followed Mathias to the restaurant.
Don't know about have ta, but I think you can try if you want ta. I don't really know how it works. Never tried... suppose you could always ask. People at the restaurant are real nice. Sure they wouldn't mind teachin' you if you asked
"I wanna try it. I think it'll be fun!" Firecracker smiled brightly.

"I wanna try it. I think it'll be fun!"
Rip shrugged, but he was smiling. It would be interesting to see someone try.
They entered the little restaurant quietly. The place was moderately busy and a little noisy with the chatter of Chinese.

They are
She smiled a bit and was about to speak again but then she noticed all the lanterns and just looked at them all. It was beautiful.
That's alot of colors," he noted. "I think it's just red an' blue for me."
"It changes between 'em. So today I think I like green and purple." Firecracker smiled. "Only having two favorite colors is good cause you just have the two and don't have to think which one ya like best.
As they walked into the restaurant Firecracker stopped and smelled all the spices and flavors. It made her stomach rumble with how good everything smelled.
