He nodded a little. "Alright." He replied. He wondered if they ever could fix this plague. If the city would ever be what it used to be.

Antonio hoped he could at the very least better the city. He didn't know if he would be able to return it to its former glory, but he would try his hardest.

He looked ahead of them, then over at Tony. "How long do you think it will take, to reach the capital?"

"About two weeks I would say," Antonio responded thinking of his journey to Ceridwen, "Depends on the route we take."

He sighed softly. "Oh. I see."

"If you know how to ride a horse we could cut that time in half?" Antonio offered to Quinn assuming that was why he sighed.

Quinn shook his head a little. "I've never ridden a horse, no."

Antonio hummed a little as he went into deep thought, "Do you want to try and learn how to ride? It doesn't have to be now, it could be when we arrive back at the palace."

He thought about it for a moment. "Mm…yeah, that might be helpful. If you have time to teach me? Or have someone else."

"I'll do my best to be able to teach you myself," Antonio gave him a smile, "But no promises?"

He nodded a little. "Of course." He smiled faintly.

"Is there anything else you want to try?" Antonio asked him.

He thought about it for a long moment. "I'm…I'm not sure."

"Well, if you do think of anything, let me know okay?" Antonio told him completely understanding his answer.

"Alright. I will." He smiled faintly. "Thanks."

"It's nothing, really," Antonio matched his smile easily.

Quinn nodded faintly, looking around again.

Antonio glanced around before looking back at his map. The city should be coming up sooner than later.

Quinn was quiet as they walked, sighing faintly as he looked around.

"We should be able to make it to the next city before nightfall," Antonio finally decided to comment growing tired of the silence again.

"Of course. Are…other cities like Ceridwen?" He questioned, frowning faintly.

"Like Ceridwen how?" Antonio didn't know how to answer that question. Were other cities plagued to the point where moving around was a hazard? No. Were other cities filled with buildings and people separated by the amount of money someone had? Yes.

"I…so limited in who can go in and out, I guess." He replied slowly.

"Not really, no," Antoni replied recalling the cities he went through, "There are certain houses or communities that might limit people, but most of the city is open to anyone who so wishes to enter or exit."

"Oh." He replied, thinking about that for a moment.
