Quinn shrugged faintly. "Their names would be listed in the square." he replied.

"Huh," Antonio let out. He hated this suggestion, but it made sense for him to say thi, "I guess we could check there."

"Yeah." Quinn replied, leading him through the nearly empty streets.

Antonio followed after him. He almost knew the names wouldn't be there, and he would get caught in his lie. So during the walk he was thinking of how to tell Quinn, if he should tell Quinn at all.

Quinn led him into a square. Metal plaques lined the walls, each with the name of a family emblazoned on it. Some were gold; most were silver. "Gold plaques are dead Ravens. Silver is everyone else." Quinn said simply.

"Got it," Antonio replied as he looked at all the plaques in the area. So many had died here to this illness, and his father was doing nothing to help. He was doing nothing to help them. He glanced over at Quinn, "Are they in any specific order or should I just start looking?"

"No order, really. Just…start looking." he replied, heading over to the closest wall.

Antonio nodded as he made his way to a different wall. He was silently hoping that he couldn't find any Jade's here.

Quinn hummed faintly as he looked along the walls.

Antonio looked over the walls repeating his silent prayer.

He kept looking, cocking his head faintly.

Antonio glanced over at Quinn from the corner of his eye before going back to looking.

Quinn continued scanning the names, humming faintly.

Antonio kept scanning the wall.

He didn't see the last name that Tony had given him, but kept looking.

The longer he scanned, the more releived he was since he couldn't find Jade anywhere.

He frowned faintly as he looked.

Antonio knew he should be worried, but he also was still relieved.

He looked dover at Tony. "I haven't seen it."

"Neither have I," Antonio attempted to sound disappointed but wasn't sure if it came out that way.

He frowned a little bit, eyebrows pulling together in thought.

Antonio went back to searching hoping to maybe fool Quinn. Though that probably wasn't going to happen.

Quinn crossed his arms faintly, stepping back. He supposed he could ask some of the others, see if they knew about Tony's family.

Antonio let out a sigh as Quinn left him alone for the time being.

He chewed on the inside of his lip in thought, eyes flickering over the name plates.

Antonio's eyes flicked over the different name plates searching. He wondered when he would have read them all, there was quite a lot.

He sighed faintly, still looking.

Antonio kept looking faintly humming a somber tune as he did so.

He ran a hand through his hair, sighing faintly.

Antonio glanced over to where Quinn was before going back to searching.
