Her blue eyes danced as she watched Medda up on stage. Cowgirl leaned back abit in her chair at the table on the side of the stage and watched in slight admiration, she loved all things of the performing arts, things of creative mind. Music was amazing, and dancing, astonishing. To her the world seemed like an open book, and her mind was open to it all. She took a drink from her water glass and sighed as she set her cowgirl hat on the table that had been upon her head. Her thoughts tangling in a muse of poetry, she really needed to start writing things down more often.
She closed her eyes as she leaned back and spoke softly outloud not realizing much, but the place wasn't very packed anyway, just a few people. Words escaped her lips in a ryhming sort of way,"to dance in one's mind is to fly another's, to sing a love song, is to love each other, but to what does it all mean...."she trailed off losing thought.

Foster slipped into the building to hide from the heavy rain outside. it was a close spot and medda rarely ever kicked them out.
He rarely ever had money to pay for the shows, it was an extravagance he could live with out and he needed the money for food and board.
He slipped down the rows to sit down, a girl was in front of him watching as well. He stayed silent something that wasnt hard for him. Though that silence was broken by the girl in front of him saying something. He leaned forward to catch it, it sounded rhythmic almost and it made him want to hear it. HIs foot slipped though on the floor, it had been raining out and he caught himself on the back of the seat beside the girl his other hand getting th eback of her chair and accidently caught a couple peices of hair.
"Sorry..'He said and then leaned back again in his chair.

Cowgirl snapped out of her train of thought, things randomly happened, so it wasn't too unusual when the boy grabbed the back of her chair. She turned not in any anger to look at the boy. Her blue eyes sparkled in the dim light as she looked at him summing him up for a moment without speaking. Her train of thought was forgotten of whatever she had been thinking just seconds ago as she did this. She ran a hand through her hair abit and tilted her head to the side as her hair toppled over that way.
She smiled finally and extended her hand to him,"it's alright I'll live, da name's Cowgirl, mind if I ask fer your name?"she said softly as to not disturb the other small amount of people around them, not that she hadn't probably already disturbed them with her poetic talking to herself.

He looked at her, aslightly guilty look on his face as he expected her to snap at him for pulling her hair. it had been an accident but sometimes people didnt see things like that ... as that. THough as he took in her expression he saw she wasnt mad at all and he felt a bit relieved.
"hi.'He said, "Foster...'He replied when she gave him her name and then asked for his in return. He ran his hand down over his leg tugging a loose thread his gray blue eye dropping from hers to the loose thread. He didnt say anything more.

Cowgirl nodded,"Nice name, mind me askin' where yer from Foster?"she asked as she turned her whole body toward him in her chair and sat on her knees facing him, she was one to be talkative, or energetic if you caught her at the right time. At the moment she wasn't upset, or stressed, so the time was good for anything almost. She liked meeting new people so she figured maybe it'd be ok to start a conversation with him, as long as he wasn't the type to push new people away that was.
She shifted abit getting comfortable as she rested her arms on the top of her chair and then her head on her arms,"I'm Manhatten, one of Cowboy's newsies,"she added as she looked at him before looking down slightly wondering if she was being too friendly.

He wasnt sure if she was going to continue talking to him, he wasnt expecting it nore welcoming or refusing it. But as she turned and asked him where he was from he got his answer to that question. 'Staten Island"He said.
he nodded to her. Hed assumed she was a manhatten newsie, not because she was in manhatten but by her name. "Why they call you cowgirl?"he asked. "you and jack together or something?"he asked. 'or.. he your brother?"

Cowgirl laughed abit at the question of her name,"Well all but one calls me Cowgirl, and the one who doesn't calls me Poet, I wish I had thought of it before he did, but I have no regrets, uh as fer me and Jack, well he ain't me brudda, only Jinks is his simbling, and we aint' got anything goin' wit eachother, we're jus' good friends, and I guess the name's jus' been with me for awhile, i don't really know why,"she said as she looked at him again.
"Well how'd you come across Foster? I like it, it's got alot of potential ya know, it's not wimpy or completely over done eida,"she said abit teasingly but not too much. She was starting to like this guy, he seemed nice.

"oh..."He said, with a nod. He was about to ask why the other would call her poet but then eh was reminded of the little thing she had been saying earlier that made him catch her attention in the first place. When she said she wasnt his sibling or girl he tilted his head. "you ride a horse?"he asked witha shrug. There had to be some reason she had the name
At question of his name he shrugged again. "I was a run away"He said, 'Foster kid.."he rubbed his chin. He was glad for the nick names, he himself couldnt even remember his real name. Not since the accident, hell he couldnt remember anything. Hed walked past a doctors office and the doctors name was benjamin so when people had asked him he just told them that was his name, that was until he became a newsie nd was adopted the name foster.

Cowgirl smiled and laughed abit as so many things went into her head at his words, smart allick comments, dirty minded things, she was silent for a moment opting whether to say something sarcastic and funny to lighten the mood or to answer simply yes or no. She opted with a smart allick comment,"that depends on what ya concider a horse...."she said letting out a small giggle.
She looked down and then back at him,"I ain't naturally from around here, I moved here from England when I was ten, my parents died in a fire when i was 13,"she muttered absently in thought not realizing she was spilling her life to him.

He waited for her answer, but when he did, the look in her eyes at her comment, brought to mind somethings that probably meant she didn tmean that innocently. He coughed a bit> "ah..'He said, and looked back down at his thread he was playing with. "i.. oh..hmm..'He was not shy by any means, but he wasnt the type to make remarks like that back He brought his hand back up to rub the back of his neck. "hm..'
He looked back up at her as she started to talk. He frowned a bit, He felt bad for her and it was times like these that he was glad he didnt have memories enough to well have those thoughts.
"sorry.."He said.

(Sorry that comment was so sudden, she's normally sweet lol)
Cowgirl shook her head,"oh no, don't be sorreh, I'm prolly better of wit out them anyway, who needs 'em....."she muttered but half of her felt a sinking feeling of guilt for saying those words. She noticed him get abit nervous or anxious, she couldn't tell,"I'm uh sorreh about that comment, I didn't mean nuthin' by it, jus' joking, I ain't like that really...."she muttered as she ran a hand through her hair and looked down abit ashamed.
She took a candy stick from one of the vendor's that walked by and slid the two pennies into his hand before he walked off. She stuck the candy into her mouth and looked back up at Foster,"Ya come here often?"she asked.

((llol its okay.. foster just isnt good at replying to those things.. hes a quiet sort))
"it happens.."He said, "People got their pasts. Not easy to get rid of "he waved off heer appology. He licked his lips and looked up at the man that walked by, he thought about buying something, but decided against it. He was hungry but he had his set routine when it came to food and this wasnt a time
When she appologized about the comment he shook his head again. "Its okay"he said, "I wasnt offended ... or anything of the sort"he ran a hand through his hair agian tugging a bit at ti before letting it fall and then looked at her giving her a hint of a smile. It was the closest he ever got to smiling.
Foster looked around then back at her. "Sometimes. You?"

Cowgirl grinned at his half smile, and figured it was a whole lot better then nothing, she hated dull people who didn't smile or at least try. He seemed like he tried so he was ok. She stuck the candy in the side of her cheek and sucked on it like a cigarette, that was the benefit to stick candy, you could eat it like it was a flavored cigarette. She sighed and then nodded,"ya, it's one of the main joints around hereh, but I go everywhere, i mainly stay roun hereh but I go see Spot, and Jinks, so I do alot of roamin',"she said cheerily.
She looked down again and her hair fell into her pale face, it was good that she was eating again, she probably would've upset Spot if he knew why she had gotten sick in the first place, but the candy portion of eating may not be smart. She shrugged it off in thought, better than starving yourself for days, something is always better then nothing.

'Mmm.."He nodded. "hm.."He looked around again before bringing his gaze back to hers. "yeah..'He said. "I know jinks'He said. She was his leader and a friend of his. Of course, she was his leader after all. He didnt really know spot, he knew who he was and hed seen him a few times, but hed never really actually talked to the guy. He knew he saw jinks once and while.
the practices were ending and a guy was coming down. "Time to leave kids"He said. to them.
Foster nodded and stood up. "Well.."he said, 'nice to meet you"He said rubbing the back of his neck again before placing them in his pockets and stepped into the isle to head to the door.

Cowgirl stood at the man's words and sighed as she grabbed her hat and followed after Foster,"wait...."she said trailing off abit as she absently grabbed his hand to stop him, she stopped walking and looked down abit embarrassed and quickly dropped his hand,"where ya goin'?"she asked. She hated how jumpy she became when it came to being alone, of course she had been alone when she was sitting here, but after talking with him, she didn't want to be alone right now.
She sighed keeping her eyes down as her hair fell into her face again and she fiddled with her hat in her hand,"I just.....well....maybe I could go with ya,"she muttered abit shakily. She hated how nervous she could be, it was true that she could hold her own in a fight, but she had mood changes around different people.
