Darcy was passing through Bronx and couldn't resist stopping by the zoo. She knew she really shouldn't, but it really had been a long time since she had been here. Four years, wasn't it? The lions had certainly changed since then. She wondered it anything else had changed. It probably had... If she was lucky, no one would recognize her. She would be able to slip right through New York without any problems, but only if she was lucky. Then again, she did look pretty different. She wasn't wearing a skirt or a nice shirt like she had back then. She was now wearing an old looking shirt and slightly baggy pants. Her hair was tucked in her cap out of sight. If anyone saw her, they might think she was a boy. There was probably a slim chance of anyone recognizing her. Besides, she didn't know anyone from Bronx.
She could enjoy watching the lions for a little bit longer.

Sand walked through the zoo slowly. Her nerves were getting the best of her. Everything would be ok. She kept trying to remember what Blondie said. One day at a time. One problem at a time. Though the big problem was still poking at her. Blondie was off to Queens and she was stuck here. Sand was thinking far to much, but she couldn't stop thinking. Biting her fingernails slightly, she slowed down as she passed the lions. Lions...lions are courageous...maybe she could find courage just looking at them. Courage to focus on her own bourough and not worry about the others. Bronx didn't need to be allied with anyone. They were capable of handling anything that came their way. Sand took a deep breathe. She had to try and focus. Sand looked over realizing she wasn't looking at the lions alone.

Darcy felt a little nervous suddenly. She felt like someone was watching her... Not wanting to let on that she knew, she carefully glanced over her shoulder. It was just a girl around her age. She didn't know what she was so worried about. Besides, it wasn't like anyone in Bronx knew who she was anyways. She was perfectly safe here.

Sand was wrestling with herself on if she should talk to the girl. She wasn't sure she was in a talking mood but Sand had never seen this girl and she knew most everyone in Bronx. "Hi..." she said carefully. "I'm Sand...don't think I've seen ya in Bronx before. Ya new?" She said slowly getting a bit more confident in her words

"Hi..."
Darcy gave the girl a bright smile. "Hey."
Things would be fine. No one knew her here.
"I'm Sand...don't think I've seen ya in Bronx before. Ya new?"
She nodded some. "Name's Trixie, and um yeah, ya could say that I am new."

Hey
Sand smiled softly. See start of conversation.
Name's Trixie, and um yeah, ya could say that I am new.
"Nice ta meet ya Trixie. Ya from one of the boroughs round here?" She asked glancing back at the lions.

"Nice ta meet ya Trixie."
She returned her smile. "Same ta ya."
"Ya from one of the boroughs round here?"
Darcy turned to look at the lions as well. "Ah na, na. I am na from anywhere near here," she lied. "I travel... a lot. I passed through 'ere before that is all."

Same ta ya
Sand smiled as she gently encouraged herself in her thoughts to keep it up.
Ah na, na. I am na from anywhere near here,I travel... a lot. I passed through 'ere before that is all.
"Well if ya lookin into staying for a bit and ain't got a room ya can stay at thengirls lodge. I can h lo ya settle in if ya wanna:" sand said with a kind smile as she leaned against the railing.

"Well if ya lookin into staying for a bit and ain't got a room ya can stay at the girls lodge. I can h lo ya settle in if ya wanna."
Darcy pursed her lips some. It would be okay, wouldn't it? No one in Bronx ever knew her anyways. This would be the safest place to stay if she planned on sticking around awhile. Plus, she knew for a fact that Spot never ever came to Bronx. It would be fine.
She smiled again and nodded. "I'd like tha a lot."

I'd like tha a lot.
Sand smiled. "Good. I hope ya like it here. Tends to be quiet but there's somethin brewin in the more bustlin boroughs. We'll be fine here though." She smiled bright.

"Good. I hope ya like it here."
Darcy just smiled back and nodded. "I'm sure I will."
"Tends to be quiet but there's somethin brewin in the more bustlin boroughs. We'll be fine here though."
She felt a little tense at the mention of something happening in the other boroughs. She wasn't sure how she liked the sound of that... but Sand's words were comforting. This borough was a quiet one. She'd be just fine.
"Yah... tha sounds good. I could use some quiet."

I'm sure I will.
Sand smiled. "I'm a bit strict on the time though so I'll be wakin ya up early if ya intend ya sell."
Yah... tha sounds good. I could use some quiet.
Sand saw her tense up. "Don't worry. We're perfectly safe here." She smiled softly. "And you'll get plenty of quiet. Promise that."

Darcy nodded some. "Tha is fine. I like wakin' up early so it should na be a problem."
"Don't worry. We're perfectly safe here."
She cracked a small smile. "Yah... perfectly safe."
"And you'll get plenty of quiet. Promise that."
Her smile widened some. "Tha is great... I will really like it 'ere."

Sand smiled. "Alright then ya should be good."
Yah... perfectly safe.
Sand smiled brightly at Darcy.

She nodded. "I hope ya do."

"Alright then ya should be good."
Darcy laughed softly. "Tha is good ta hear. Would 'ate ta give ya trouble."
"I hope ya do."
She nodded, a small smile was on her face. This would be nice. It was the perfect way to be in New York without being noticed by people who may knew her. She wondered why she hadn't thought of it before. Well, in the past, she probably would have been found out quicker for one. And for two? She had been too chicken to come back until now.

"Well it's the right place at stay outta trouble. Got a feelin more people may be comin ya Bronx then we can handle..." Sand said a bit absentmindedly. "But don't cha worry about none of that."

"Well it's the right place at stay outta trouble. Got a feelin more people may be comin ya Bronx then we can handle..."
Darcy pursed her lips slightly. "Do... people like ta move around 'ere a lot?"
"But don't cha worry about none of that."
She nodded, but she couldn't help but worry. What if someone she knew randomly decided to move to Bronx? That couldn't be good...

Do... people like ta move around 'ere a lot?
"Nah..." She said quickly. "Just hearing some stuff happening wit Brooklyn and Queens...could get bad and I dunno what newsies will do ya know?" She said hoping to explain and not scare off the girl. "Like I said nothin ya worry about." Sand gave a smile that somehow conveyed that it wasn't a worry when inside it was a storm of questions.

"Nah..."
Darcy felt rather relieved. It would be terrible if she bumped into someone who knew her.
"Just hearing some stuff happening wit Brooklyn and Queens...could get bad and I dunno what newsies will do ya know?"
She bit her lip. Brooklyn and Queens were at odds still? Maybe she should have just stayed away. She swallowed nervously. "Brooklyn an' Queens? What's 'appenin' there?"
"Like I said nothin ya worry about."
Darcy nodded slowly. Sand seemed confident that things were fine and that it wouldn't bother Bronx... so she'd trust her. Besides, she never really heard much about Bronx before she left New York. It seemed like it would be a nice, quiet borough.

Brooklyn an' Queens? What's 'appenin' there?
"They haven't been on terms since I've been here. Had someone go over ta Queens...said Rip was gunna plan somethin. I dunno what but Spot and Rip fightin...both of em are strong and they ain't gunna let anything happen but they both are stubborn...they'll end up soon somethin they regret..." Sand said shifting a bit uncomfortable. She tried not not think about it. Bronx would be fine...

Darcy paled at the mention of Rip. "O-oh..."
It made her nervous to hear that he was still around, and still angry.
"But Bronx is fine right?" she asked. "They wouldna get this borough involved?"

Oh...
"Don't worry...we're fine here." Sand said with a soft smile.
But Bronx is fine right? They wouldna get this borough involved?
Sand shook her head. "We won't be getting involved unless it gets bad...but we should be ok..."

"Don't worry... we're fine here."
It was making her uneasy all this talk about Queens and Brooklyn, but it was relieving to know that Sand would reassure her that things were fine.
"We won't be getting involved unless it gets bad...but we should be ok..."
Darcy was glad of it. "Bronx is a ways off from those boroughs, right?"
