Mush nodded as Street said this. "You should move into a Lodgin' House. It'll be good for ya. We don't want anythin' happenin' to our Street." He nudged her playfully in the arm. He added in his head, anything else to happen to ya. He didn't bring it up. He knew it still hurt her sometimes. It hurt him to think about. That was the day he punched his best friend in the face.

Street nodded. "Yeah, nothin' else at least. Hey, I went ta the free doctor's yesterday! He told me it's lookin' much better, wanna see?" Without waiting for his response, she lifted up her blouse a little, revealing a thin red line that was puckered and still had evidence of stiches-both from Irish and the doctor. "He says that there shouldn't be no permenant damage, that my in-test-tines should still func-tion properly. He says we'll see in about a month." She touched it gently and then tucked the shirt back in. "He gave me this cream ta rub on it," She lifted up a small brown bottle. "And some medi-cine for the pain and infection. 'Cause ya know Levi, sticks his knife everywhere." She rolled her eyes.

Mush laughed. He was glad Street could joke about it now. Though it still hurt him somewhat that his friend would do that. Even to a stalker. He'd never hurt anyone before. He winced. "Ouch." He just stared at the thin line. She put her shirt down and he looked away. "Sorry that had ta happen ta ya. Ya shouldn't have gotten in the middle of that." He remembered the fight. It had just been him and Levi until Street got involved. All though she had stopped it sooner than it would have otherwise.

Street smiled. "Nah, I'd rather have me be stabbed then ya, Mush. Ya wouldn't want ta mess up that pretty face." She patted his cheek comfortingly. "Plus Ophelia probably would've had a heart attack. I've gotten inta rough patches before, nothin' I can't handle. Never been stabbed before, I can now add that to my...um... whatjamacallits, repitoire?" She said uncertainly. She shrugged, but winced. "Ta tell the truth, I can't really remember much of it. I remember I pulled Levi's arm away and he kinda whipped it around, then I remember Ophelia sayin' something, Levi cryin' and then... It's all hazy after that." She shrugged.

Mush stared at her open mouthed. He understood why she couldn't remember, she'd lost tons of blood. But how she could've forgotten... "Street, we almost lost ya that day. Levi was torn to pieces that he'd done somethin' like that." He looked down. That day in the Park played back in his head. How Irish had just walked away after he'd stitched her up. "Ya lost a lot of blood." He looked back up at her, wondering if any of it was coming back. He doubted it. Mostly because she lost a lot of blood.

Street shrugged. "I understand all that, honestlly. But... Somehow, I can understand what Levi did. It was my fault for gettin' involved." She sighed. "The doctor told me ta eat a lot of red meat and fluids." She snorted. "Yeah, that'll happen. I guess I'll just have ta take it easy for a bit. No runnin' which means, no stealin', which means no money, which means no food." She smiled slightly. "All well, the blood will come back soon."

Mush looked at Street. "Yeah ya really shouldn't have gotten yourself inta that. Levi wouldn't hoit me. Unless he had ta." He smiled, only half joking. His smile disappeared when she said no money no food. "Come on," Mush said forcing a small smile onto his face. He grabbed her elbow and towed her towards Tibby's. They walked in. "What do ya want? Don't argue, just pick somethin'." He knew she would protest, or she would have usually, but he'd turn her down.

Street glanced at him. "Like I said, Ophelia would have had a heartattack if ya'd gotten hurt." She teased him, sticking her tongue out. She shook her head. "Mush. No. No, honestlly. I'll go talk ta Mercury, he'll give me credit. He gives everbody credit." When he said nothing, she sighed. "Fine, but ya order somethin' and we'll split it, yeah?" Street nodded. "That way, ya're gettin' somethin' and I'm gettin' somethin'."

Mush laughed and stuck out his tounge back. It was childish, yes, but he didn't care. He gave her a look and tried to protest at splitting a meal but he was kinda hungry himself. He gave her a small smile and nodded. "Yeah, all right. As long as ya eat." He ordered something large that could feed both of them and turned back towards her. "Have ya seen Spot since..?" He gestured with a twitch of his hand towards her midsection.

Street laughed, her eyes sparkling. "Hehe. I'll eat." She said happily. She split the food right down the middle and ate it off his plate-not caring. When he mentioned Spot, she grimaced. "Like he'd care... He's got his head wrapped around that Ace girl. Besides, it was an accident, not like Poet and the Killer thing..." She made a face while eating. "Besides, Spot doesn't care about me, he never did. I'm just a... Liability. For all the leaders. 'Cause I'm so young and un-experienced." She shook her head. "I don't care so much anymore. I think I may be... Fallin' in love. Truly in love. Honestly." Street grinned but then blushed. "I do think I love him, more then I ever loved Spot. If I did love him in the first place." Then to switch topics she grinned at him mischeiviously. "I know who Ophelia loves. She told me she loved somebody. Do ya want ta know?" She asked him, playing with him.

Mush looked down at his food. Anger was bubbling up inside him. Street wasn't a liability or a kid. He took a deep breath and forced a smile on his face. "Nah don't think about Spot. Forget i brought him up." He took a bite of food, thinking. He figured she meant Levi, but it could be anyone he knew. He looked at her with curiosity in his eyes, then the curiosity left and a shining took it's place. The way the light was on his eyes, made it look like his eyes were actually shining. He knew she was kidding around with him. "Yeah, I guess." He shrugged, taking another bite. "Who does Ophelia love?"

Street grinned. "Ophelia loves me." She jabbed a thumb in her chest. "'Course, I'm her sister and all." She took a dramatic sigh and glanced up at him through her lashes. "I have ta whisper it, 'cause I don't want nobody hearin'." She slid in beside him and leant in close. "Ophelia told me that she loves... Ya. Honestly. These are her exact words... 'Rosalind, I am in love with Mush Meyers'." Street pulled away. "See? Welcome ta the family." She kissed his cheek lightly and hugged him. "Now, yer my brother. Unless ya mess it up." She warned stubbornly, sliding back into the booth on her own side. "Ain't that wonderful. Do ya want to know somethin' else? Irish lost his virginity... And it wasn't Poet. Sean told Levi and Asher, and Levi told me." She looked shocked. "Never would have expected it. Sean told Levi, who told me, that Poet and Irish went ta his room in the Lodgin' House. Hey, Mush... Ya're still a virgin, ain't ya? I mean, I know Brooke wasn't yer only girlfriend. Ya never played around like Levi has, have ya?" Street asked. "See... The person I love, I don't think I should love him. He's... different from me. He ain't a virgin, and I am. I've never been kissed by a boy. Never had a boy before... I guess... It just ain't in me." Street murmured.

Mush let out a short laugh. Then he stopped and swallowed the food that almost went everywhere. Still chuckling he said, "Well of course she loves ya. But meh? Huh. Awe man i guess i am ya're brudder. Well that's just fantastic." He smiled. "Does that mean i get ta pick on ya? This might not be so bad." He wrapped his arm around her in a one armed hug. He nodded. "Never woulda guessed that one. Not Poet? Wow. Yeah, i am. Tell anyone that besides ya're sista, and i'll kill ya." He laughed. He was joking of course, he always joked with Street he was serious with her though too. Sometimes it was hard to tell the difference. "I love her too." He whispered. "Ya're sister. I think she might be the one ya know?"

Street made a face. "Ya already pick on me, Mush. Wouldn't be no different then usual." She chuckled. "Yep, honest ta whoever. It was that new girl, Honey or somethin'." She shrugged. Sheheld her hands up in surrender. "I won't tell nobody. I'm sure everyone can tell by lookin' at ya." She winked at him. "Anyways, I'm glad ya love her. But I ain't gonna pass it on. Ya have ta tell her yaself." She nodded at him and stuck her chin out like a child. "Are ya... Gonna ask her ta marry ya? I mean, yer gettin' ta that age. Ophelia's seventeen and yer eighteen. I'm sure she'd marry ya." She said, taking another bite.

HE nodded. "I know i hafta tell her. I wasn't expectin ya ta anyway. I just wanted ya ta know is all." He said after punching her lightly in the shoulder. He turned serious, and took a deep breath. "I don't know. I probably will. Let's just wait and see how ya get on. Wouldn't be a weddin' without an annoying little sista." He chuckled, turning into his usual joking self. He pointed at the half eaten food on her plate. "Eat it." He told her, cocking an eyebrow. He had on a crooked smile, which only got bigger every second they stared at each other.
