"It's cold," she said with emphasis, as if that explained everything. "And don't you have to take a ferry to the Island?"

"Stick around a while, and it won't be," ::Karl replied with a slight shrug. One could hardly do anything about the weather in the middle of winter.:: "The bridge is easier - Long Island, not Staten."

"Oh." She shrugged. "I've only been here like two days. Don't have the lingo down yet."

::Karl took another sip of his Tom Collins.:: "Consider that a free lesson. It's also House-ton street, not Houston like Texas, if you don't wanted to be picked out as a tourist."

She smirked, thinking what a ridiculous waste of time it was to learn local names. "Good to know."

"Useful enough," ::Karl agreed, although he could tell from her smirk that she considered it anything but.::

"Don't think I'm gonna be here long enough to learn, anyways. No place to stay." She shrugged; it was a fact of life to her, no big deal.

"And where would you go?" ::Not that Karl had a vested interest in the answer, but it was conversation. Further, he doubted that she had elsewhere to stay, otherwise she would have found herself there already. Thus, he assumed she was a traveler.::

"I don't know," she said, quite honestly and without sarcasm.

::Karl knew that phase of youth well, both from experience and from his years of practice.:: "I know some hostels in the area; it's not ideal, but it's a roof and a bed."

::That was a bit more problematic, yes. Karl sipped his drink, well aware that his question was considered rude in certain circles, but it was important enough.:: "How much did your room charge each night?"

"About thirty bucks," she said, shrugging. "I had enough for three nights. Now it's up to shelters."

::Shelters were better than the street, although they were hardly what Karl would call "safe," let alone "ideal." He thought about what he had in his wallet for a moment, before setting down his glass.:: "I know somewhere outside of the City you could go; it's free."

"Free?" That usually caught her attention, but she wasn't stupid. "If you're talking about some whore house, I'm not interested."
