"Yeah I can do that," Antonio responded moving towards where the plates were.

He finished making his food, preparing to dish it out once Antonio brought the plates.

Antonio brought the plates over to Quinn setting them down on the counter next to him.

Quinn dished out the food, shooting Tony a faint little smile.

Antonio gave a smile back as he took a plate from Quinn.

Quinn took his own, sitting down at the table and starting to eat.

Antonio took a seat across from Quinn and ate his own food.

Quinn kept eating quietly.

Antonio ate quietly trying to think of conversation topics.

He sighed faintly, tucking back a strand of blond hair.

Antonio finally came up with something, "So you've never been out of the city right? Do you have any questions?"

"No, I haven't. Uhm, what am I supposed to…do?" he asked slowly.

"What do you mean by that?" Antonio asked back maybe a little bit cautiously, "Like how do you act? Or are there any special rules you need to know?"

"Yeah, I guess." he shrugged his shoulders faintly, eating some mroe of his food.

"Well, for starter the rules are a lot laxer than in here," Antonio began as he took a moment to think, "And a lot of the time its just keeping your head low so others don't notice you as for the whole acting bit."

"Oh." he said slowly. "So I…don't need to wear the mask? And stay away from people?"

"Nope, no plague out there so no need to stay away," Antonio confirmed for Quinn, "In fact a lot of places, especially markets, can get quite crowded."

He grimaced faintly. "Oh." this was going to be very different for him, and it was obvious.

"I'll be there with you," Antonio quickly reassured him as he spotted Quinn's grimace, "So if you need to get away I'll help okay?"

"I…okay." he said slowly. "I just…it's gonna be really different. I've never…I don't know. I hadn't really interacted with anyone from outside of Ceridwen, before you, and…now I'm leaving."

"Yeah, well now you'll meet more," Antonio tried to show a brighter side to the situation, "But I understand what you're going through."

"Yeah." He said quietly. "It's just…strange." he shook his head a little bit, running his hands through his hair.

"It is, but it'll be new too," Antonio smiled a little at Quinn.

He smiled faintly in return. "Yeah."

Antonio let the silence returned as he focused on his food.
