Antonio watched him as he let out a little sigh.

Quinn looked over at him.

Antonio looked back at Quinn quizzically, "What?"

"Nothing." he said, rubing his eyes.

"Oh, okay," Antonio replied going back to lying down and glancing around.

"So…" he trailed off, unsure what to say.

"Life," Antonio finished off also not knowing what to say.

He laughed. "Yeah. Life."

Antonio had a big smile on as he looked at Quinn, "Isn't it fun?"

Quinn chuckled quietly. "Mm. Sure, sometimes."

"Sometimes," Antonio repeated softly. He looked up at Quinn, "Hey, if you could leave this town would you?"

Quinn took a deep breath. "I don't know." he said slowly. "I've…never left, and it would be nice to see more, but at the same time…"

"You have a duty here in town," Antonio finished off. A small smile made his way onto his face, "I get it."

"Yeah. I do." Quinn replied. "And…there are so few of us Immunes…"

"So every person matters," Antonio reached his own conclusion.

"Yeah." he said again, looking away for a moment, then back at Tony with a faint sigh.

Antonio looked at him before hesitating to continue on. He ended up shutting up.

He gave a faint sigh. "Sorry if I killed the…mood or whatever."

"No, you're fine," Antonio responded, "I'm the one who asked in the first place."

"Yeah. I just…this city has a lot of issues. I wouldn't…I don't know." he shook his head slightly.

"What if you left to help the city?" Antonio posed the question being curious while at the same time trying to lift the mood a little.

"I…don't see how my leaving would help." Quinn said slowly.

"Well, hypothetically, what if it did?" Antonio asked him again, "Somehow you leaving the city would help the city in future. Would you leave?"

"I…I don't know." he said slowly, fronwing a little bit.

"That's fine, sorry I like talking through hypotheticals sometimes," Antonio replied in an attempt to explain the questions.
