She'd been too late.

That was exactly what she realized when she'd opened the door. The second the door was open she could feel something was off in the air. She took a few tentative steps into the den and called out, "Oi! Who's about?" a customary way to greet the denizens of the den.

She already had a very strong idea who was about. And she didn't like it.

Jackie wouldn't want Nancy to go begging on her behalf. It weren't right that she would need to beg in the first place.

"Jem gets away wiv a lot anyway. Never brings in his quota."

Jackie is silent but then she can't seem to stop herself:

"It's like he had somethin' to prove. It didn't matter that it was me, he just... had to prove somethin'."

Jackie pauses, looking at Nancy with an expression that makes it very clear that that particular thing had not crossed her mind. Fagin would be angry that Jem had taken it upon himself to ... to do what he did. (It was hard to even think on it.) It was acting outwith his orders. An' you didn't go against Fagin's word.

"... I didn't think of that."

"Fagin ain't gonna like not havin' as much coin," Jackie worried her lip. It had to mean something, didn't it? It had to mean something that she was able to double his daily profits.

Jackie actually started to look a bit hopeful. It was a long shot, she knew, but if anything could motivate Fagin in her favour, it would be the loss to his daily profits. If they could convince him of how they would suffer, then...

"There's a chance."

Jackie took the knife, looking at it before looking at Nancy.

"You sure?"

Wouldn't she need it for work?

"'Course I do," Jackie nodded, tucking the knife into her own boot. She'd need to get use to how to wear it properly.

"I know."

She's seen how it can be, knows how quickly people can turn on you on the streets. If the knife keeps her safe know that people are going to know... She will get good at it, fast.

"...Teach me," she looks up Nancy. "To use the knife proper."

She needs to know, so she doesn't end up hurting herself.

Jackie nodded, paying close attention to how Nancy gestured with the knife, and the words she said. Ribs, works if you get them from the back, things work too. Men would be... Okay. well, she didn't want to think on that one too much.

"What would keep it in place?"

She tapped the side of her boot where she had stashed the knife for now. Yes, a leather strap of some sorts sounded like it would work. If she got a holder for it, that would work too, make sure none of them 'accidentally' pressed it against her to cut her.

"Twist an' upward?" She asked, frowning to clarify.

Jack nodded, understanding. They had done that often enough, trying to make belts last longer for people to use. "Anythin' else that might help?"

Jackie can't do anything but nod, finding herself pulling nearer to Nancy, needing the comfort at that moment. She knows, of course she does, that's it's going to be hard going and she'll need to do more than double the work she usually does to try to keep herself safe but... It had to be worth it.

"Life ain't fair, is it?"
