Antonio also remained fairly quietly. He knew he probably wouldn't stay here long, but he had questions which were probably too much for this early anyways.

Quinn finished his food, and got up, washing off his plate and setting it to dry. "I'm going to go get dressed." He said, looking over at Tony.

"Okay," Antonio replied with a swift nod as he finished up his own plate of food. He would wash his own dishes and maybe even the skillet used to cook the eggs.

Quinn headed upstairs, closing his bedroom door and changing into the plague doctor clothes. The Raven uniform. He didn't put the mask on, though, coming downstairs with the mask in hand.

Antonio had washed both his dishes and the dishes Quinn had used to cook. He heard Quinn coming back down and looked over at him, "I suppose we're going out soon?"

Quinn frowned. "I am. I don't think it would be wise for you to." he replied, setting the mask down for a moment as he looked over at Tony. "It wouldn't be safe."

"Ah," Antonio replied making a noise of acknowledgment and realization. It probably wouldn't be smart for him to leave the house, but he also would be extremely bored and curiosity would urge him to go out once more, "Even if I wore some type of mask?"

"Even if. The mask doesn't help much with contagion. It's just so that I don't have to smell the dead and the burning all the time." He replied, turning it so that Tony could see. "There are dried herbs inside."

"Ahhhh, I understand," Antonio nodded a little as he remained composed. Inside he was a little dissapointed, since he would love to see more of the city. To study the state it was in, that was all.

Quinn nodded slightly. "Maybe once I'm done for the day, I can take you to some places. But we'd have to be really careful."

"Of course," Antonio nodded back unable to keep the smile from growing on his face. He looked to Quinn, "I wish you luck out there then."

Quinn smiled faintly. "Yeah. Thanks." he tied the mask on and slipped his boots on, then headed out the door.

Antonio watched him out and then sighed. What to do to keep him from going outside?

(alright)

Quinn wasn't home until around six. He came in the door quietly, looking around to locate Tony before coming any further inside. He would need to change before going anywhere near the other man, since he knew that his clothes could likely carry disease.

Antonio was on the couch reading through some papers. He was keeping them close to himself so it was unlikely that Quinn would have been able to read them unless Quinn was really trying. He also had a pen out scratching out certain bits and writing out notes as well.

"Hey." Quinn greeted to get his attention. "I'm going to go upstairs and change, and then we can figure out what else to do today."

"Oh, hey!" Antonio looked up to see Quinn. He pushed a little smile onto his face, "That sounds like a plan."

Quinn nodded, heading upstairs. He took a quick bath as well, then changed into a more casual set of clothes before coming downstairs.

Antonio put his papers away while Quinn trained and was up on his feet when Quinn came back down. He wasn't sure if Quinn would still be up to going out, but he had hope.
