Ghost smiled as they made their way to Tibby's. It was such a lovely day and he was a lucky guy. It wasn't every day he got to make friends and not every day that the friend had been one of his patients.
"After you," he said cheerfully, opening the door wide for Roam.

After you.
Roam smiled a bit. "Thank you." She said softly as she walked in with her head down. It smelled like heaven in the restaurant. Hot plates of food and bread filled the space with different alluring scents it almost made her forget she was just here for hot chocolate. Roam was glad that they were here. It would be a good time. She could feel it in her bones.

"Thank you."
Ghost just grinned and followed her to an empty table. As soon as they were seated, he waved for the waiter. "Two hot chocolates please!"
He winked at Roam. He could tell that today was going to be a wonderful day.

Roam smiled happily as he yelled their order at the waiter. This was nice. She blushed slightly as he winked at her. She was a bit surprised. "Thank ya." She smiled at him. "I neva got your name."

He chuckled softly. "Silly me!" He cleared his threat and held out his hand to her. "I'm Ghost. A pleasure to meet you."

"I'm Roam. Like walkin around. Good ta meet ya officially."
Ghost smiled brightly. "The feeling is mutual." He cocked his head to the side. "Roam..." His smiled widened. "I like it. Think it suits you very well."
He leaned back in his seat some. "It's always nice ta have a good newsie name that suits ya, you know?"

Roam smiled. "Thank ya. Yours suits ya as well." She smiled happily.
It's always nice ta have a good newsie name that suits ya, you know?
"Yeah...couldn't see myself havin a different name. Just wouldn't be right." Roam smiled some. "It'll be interesting ta think what name I coulda had."

"Thank ya. Yours suits ya as well."
His cheeks turned a slight pink. "Why thank you." He smiled as he stared at his hands. "Most people start askin' questions..."
"Yeah...couldn't see myself havin a different name. Just wouldn't be right. It'll be interesting ta think what name I coulda had."
Ghost pursed his lips thoughtfully and nodded. "Yeah... it would be real interesting ta see what names we might have had." He chuckled. "Could be worse, could be better. Who knows?"
He grinned as they were given their hot drinks. "Mmmmm. Just love this stuff."

Roam shrugged slightly. "Ya didn't ask bout mine so it ain't my place ta ask about yours." She smiled slightly.
Yeah... it would be real interesting ta see what names we might have had. Could be worse, could be better. Who knows?
"Nah...your names got plenty of mystery and meanin." Roam smiled up at him.
Mmmmm. Just love this stuff."
She smiled as she held her cup and breathed in the sweet chocolatey scent of the cocoa. "It's something isn't it...? It smells so sweet and it's toasty..." Roam smiled softly as she closed her eyes.

"Ya didn't ask bout mine so it ain't my place ta ask about yours."
Ghost nodded gratefully. "That was very thoughtful of you, but I don't mind anymore. Past that," he admitted.
"Nah...your names got plenty of mystery and meanin."
He chuckled. "You do have a point. I like a bit of mystery."
"It's something isn't it...? It smells so sweet and it's toasty..."
He nodded in agreement as he took a sip of his. "It really is the best on a snowy day like this." He wrapped his hands around his cup. "So warm and delicious."

Roam shrugged slightly. "Most don't like talkin about it ya know?" She said softly. "If ya feel like tellin me I'd listen." Roam smiled softly.
You do have a point. I like a bit of mystery.
She laughed a bit and smiled. "Who doesn't like a good mystery?" Roam paused for a second. "Ya know there's a house here in 'Hattan people say is haunted."
It really is the best on a snowy day like this. So warm and delicious
"The best..." Roam said happily as she finally took a sip of the warm liquid.

"Most don't like talkin about it ya know? If ya feel like tellin me I'd listen."
Ghost nodded in agreement. "Yeah, most don't care to." He returned a soft smile. "Maybe sometime I will."
"Who doesn't like a good mystery? Ya know there's a house here in 'Hattan people say is haunted."
He grinned. "Mhmmm! I love mystery books." His eyes widened slightly. "A haunted house? Really?" He leaned forward some, a mischievous sparkle in his eye. "Do tell more."
"The best..."
A silence fell between them as they sipped their hot cocoa. It was nice. Just the soft sounds of dishes clattering as a waiter rushed to and fro in Tibby's.

Yeah, most don't care to. Maybe sometime I will.
"I'll be looking forward to hearin it sometime." Roam smiled softly.
Mhmmm! I love mystery books. A haunted house? Really? Do tell more.
Roam leaned in a bit so they could talk about it quietly. "They say that the house was built by this couple with their son. Years pass the couple gets older and the son marries and they have a kid. See the son though had a gamblin problem. Started stealing from his parents ta pay off debts. One day he found their will and realized he wasn't getting anything. And in a fit of rage he killed his whole family." she looked into his eyes and smiled softly. "People say that if anyone buys the house he'll take out his rage on them. Even stayin in the house people get an uneasy feelin and leave before anythin can happen." Roam leaned back a bit realizing how close they were. "Course I hear there are lots of haunted places round here. Not sure if any are true."
As they sipped their cocoa in silence, she looked at him and felt butterflies in her stomach. He seemed nice enough and she was glad they met. Even under the circumstances. This was a nice time that she hadn't had in ages...

"I'll be looking forward to hearin it sometime."
Ghost lips curled into a slight smile. One of these days, he might tell her. Now just wasn't the time.
"They say that the house was built by this couple with their son. Years pass the couple gets older and the son marries and they have a kid. See the son though had a gamblin problem.

She had Ghost's full attention as she told her tale. His eyes widened ever so slightly as he listened. "Wow... that's quite the story." He grinned mischievously. "Makes me wanna go see the house sometime."
It was a mystery that he was very interested in solving. If he hadn't been so interested in medicine, he would have gone into being a police detective. But medicine had taken its hold on him, not that he minded. He could help so many people this way.

Roam smiled softly. "We can see it. Won't suggest goin in." She said softly hoping that they wouldn't get much closer to the house. He hopefully wouldn't want to get much closer. Her family home wasn't a place she often liked to visit. Too many memories. Though most of the ghost story was fake her grandparents and mother did die in the house there was no murder.

"We can see it. Won't suggest goin in."
Ghost cocked his head slightly. "Yeah... I suppose it wouldn't be the best idea to step into a supposed ghost house without knowin' all the facts, huh?"
He smiled as he sipped his cocoa. "So besides ghost houses, the parks, and Tibby's, what else would you say is the thing to see here in 'Hattan."
He was looking for a good excuse to visit again, and well, he was considering moving into Manhattan. He would have more opportunities in the growing borough.

Roam nodded some. Good they wouldn't be going in. That's all she needed to know.
So besides ghost houses, the parks, and Tibby's, what else would you say is the thing to see here in 'Hattan.
She thought for a moment. "Not sure...Medda's? I don't go there a lot though. The other newsies seem to like it though. I typically stick to the parks. They're my favorite." Roam explained as she took another drink of her cocoa.

Ghost nodded as he finished off his hot cocoa. "Mmmmm... I actuallly haven't been to Medda's," he admitted. "Not really fond of busy places."
He waved for refills and glanced out the window. "But maybe I could give it a try once."

Roam nodded in agreement. "I'm not so happy around a crowd either..." she nodded a bit as he said he'd give it a try. "If ya want company when ya go I'd be happy ta join ya."

"I'm not so happy around a crowd either..."
He smiled as he sipped his new cup of cocoa. "Yeah... too many people in one place is never good." Ghost cracked a weak smile. "Especially not at a hospital."
"If ya want company when ya go I'd be happy ta join ya."
He grinned. "I would like that very much. I've never been so it'd be nice ta go with someone who knows the place."

"A hospital is certainly not the place to have crowds." Roam said softly as she watched him.
"I would like that very much. I've never been so it'd be nice ta go with someone who knows the place.
Roam smiled softly. "I might not remember it very well but then again company always makes things better.'

"A hospital is certainly not the place to have crowds."
Ghost nodded seriously. "It really isn't." He stared down at his hot cocoa. "There was a bad accident at a factory a couple of weeks ago," he mentioned quietly. "We had alot of people come in..."
He left it at that. No use bringing up sad thoughts and memories. Now wasn't the time.
"I might not remember it very well but then again company always makes things better."
He chuckled softly. "Well, it's better than me. I know nothin' about Medda's except that Medda owns the joint."

It really isn't. There was a bad accident at a factory a couple of weeks ago, We had alot of people come in...
Roam could feel the pain in his words as he brought up the factory accident. It didn't sound good and by the way he was sounding it still bothered him. Sitting her cup down on the table, she gently reached her hands across the table and covered his hands with hers. "I'm sorry..." Roam barely whispered. She knew that not everyone probably made it and that's what hurt him most she guessed. Roam didn't say anything else though. She just sat with her hands over his hoping it was half as comforting as she though it was.
Well, it's better than me. I know nothin' about Medda's except that Medda owns the joint
"They put on shows and things. Really interesting some of them are." Roam smiled softly. "Maybe we'll catch a good one."

"I'm sorry..."
He gave her a small smile as his eyes met hers. "Thanks... we all did our best. But sometimes... sometimes that just ain't enough," he sighed softly.
"They put on shows and things. Really interesting some of them are. Maybe we'll catch a good one."
Ghost's face brightened. "A show, eh? That doesn't sound bad at all." He grinned. "What sort of shows do they do there?"
