"It's fine. I just…I don't know. There's a lot to do here in the city, and if someone were to leave to help the city…maybe it would be better for one of the older Immunes to go."

"How old are some of the immunes? They can't all be your age," Antonio asked in response to that.

"They aren't. The oldest are…about forty." He replied with a shrug.

Antonio gave a little nod, "So your on the younger end?"

"Well…yeah." he shrugged faintly, fiddling with a loose strand of hair for a moment.

"Is there anyone younger than you?" Antonio asked after a moment.

He nodded a little. "A few, yeah." He replied with a faint shrug.

"Okay, again sorry. Just me being curious," Antonio apologized.

"It's fine. It's just…I dunno." He ran his hands through his hair.

"Don't know what?" Antonio asked looking over at Quinn.

"Lots of things." He said with a laugh.

"You aren't wrong," Antonio laughed with him.

He smiled over at Tony, laughing quietly.

Antonio smiled back fully aware of how little he knew.

Quinn sighed faintly. "Anyways." he closed his eyes for a moment.

Antonio gave a slight nod unsure as to what Quinn was going to say. He would wait instead of trying to guess.

Quinn looked over at him. "So. Tomorrow, we'll go to the outskirts, try to find your family."

"Yeah," Antonio replied momentarily. Not quite fast enough like a normal response, but not slow enough to be deemed suspicious. He had forgotten about the fact that Quinn thought Antonio was there to find missing family members.

"But uhm…you'll have to be careful. I don't have an extra mask, but…you've got to wear long sleeves and pants, and preferably gloves as well."

"I, might need to borrow gloves," Antonio responded thinking about what he had in his bag. Long sleeves and pants he should be able to do, he was wearing a similiar outfit yesterday, but he had no gloves.

"Yeah, I figured. I have a pair that should fit. You're going to need to be really careful about what you touch, and try not to lick anything, yeah?"

"Why would I lick anything?" Antonio asked him with a slight face of disgust, "But I can take care of not touching anything."

"Alright." he laughed a little. "You just…need to be careful about exposure, is all."

"Of course," Anotnio nodded with a slight laugh, "I will not willingly come into contact with anyone there."

Quinn nodded a little bit. "Yeah, of course."
