Somewhere near the Conrad, Four is trying to buy a hot dog. She's been getting better at finding food since coming to Chicago--there's a restaurant she's found that will give her their leftovers in exchange for help cleaning up in the kitchen after they close. Unfortunately, she hasn't found anything reliable for breakfast or lunch yet. But she

"Hey!" she calls to the girl. "Hey! Hey! What are you doing? Like, seriously."
She shakes her head, beckoning her. "Come here. Come here." She's not the best person to learn from, but hey, it's worth a shot, right?

Four turns around at the sound of Chance's voice. She may not be at the Laboratory anymore, but following orders is second nature to her, so she obediently walks over to Chance and waits for Chance to give her further instructions.

Yes, she has a plan. But it is sort of secretive at this point. She might get to it in a bit, if she knows she has an ally.

It's too bad that Four is too dense to pick up on the fact that Chance has a plan, because she would go along with pretty much anything Chance says.

Her plan is becoming blatently obvious. No one ever said she was a bad person.

"Yes, I want hot dogs," she tells Chance very seriously.

Yeah, she's talking about stealing. What? She's a demon, she can do what she wants! Or something.

Four walks back over to the hot dog vendor. She looks really sad. "That girl says this is not money. If this is not money, how can I get some?" Four pouts, inching sideways all the time in order to try to move him away from the hot dog part of his cart. "I want to get some money so I can buy a hot dog."
"Look, honey, why don't you try asking your parents for some money," the hot dog vendor says.
"I don't have any parents," Four says, making a sad face.
This should be a suitable distraction for Chance to go in and grab some hot dogs for the both of them.

Oh. Yeah. The signal.
"RUUUUUUUUUUN!" she hollers as loud as she can, pushing through people. "RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN!!!"
No, she doesn't really do subtle.

So as soon as she decides they're far enough away, she pauses, ducking into an alley, trusting Four to follow her.
"That was amazing!" she says in between gasps (she's not that much of a runner.) "Where did you learn how to do that?"

Because yes, she assumes 'training' means 'schooling'. She can't help it She's a little naive.
"So. Uh." She exhales heavily, holding out the hot dogs for Four to see. "I brought, uh... two regular, and two chili dogs. What do you want?"

"Never had a chili dog before," Four says. "I'll try that one first."

And then the bite falls from her mouth as she hears about poking and zapping. "Like... SERIOUSLY?" she demands. "What the FUCK kind of school did you go to? Seriously? That's... that's against the fucking law, you know? We could totally sue!"
She hands over the chili dog with a grin. "They're tasty," she says.

Four takes the chili dog from Chance and begins to eat. She's quite hungry, so it gets finished quite quickly. "It is tasty," she says.
