"Never mind." He said softly, closing his eyes and letting out a slow breath.

"Okay," Antonio nodded as he finished up with the meal he was making, "You hungry?"

Quinn opened his eyes again, looking over at Tony. "Hm? Uhm…yeah, I guess."

"Good, becuase I made food," Antonio replied keeping his tone even though his words were meant as a bit of a tease.

He nodded, standing and coming over to the kitchen.

Antonio moved so Quinn could get food without Antonio being in the way.

He served himself some food, sighing faintly. "Sorry. It's just…a lot."

"I understand," Antonio replied quickly as he watched Quinn.

Quinn took a bite of food, closing his eyes for a long moment.

Antonio waited a moment before getting food for himself.

Quinn opened his eyes again, still considering what to do.

Antonio glanced over at Quinn staying silent.

Quinn sighed faintly. "I'm gonna…I'll give you an answer in the morning." He said slowly.

"That's fine," Antonio looked back down at his own food. He would let Quinn have as much time as he needed.

Quinn finished his food, and got up. He took care of his plate.

Antonio still had a bit left on his plate and he wanted to give Quinn his space.

"I'm, uhm, heading upstairs. Let me know if you need anything." He said, before heading up towards his room.

"Got it," Antonio said standing up to take care of his own plate.

Quinn closed the door to his room quietly, sitting down on his bed. So Antonio…was the prince.

(Timeskip?)

Antonio woke up the next morning remembering he would probably have to leave today. Hopefully, Quinn would come with him.

Quinn was already up and in the kitchen, making breakfast, having processed his thoughts during the night.

Antonio gave Quinn a little smile as he walked to the kitchen, "Um, good morning?"

"Good morning." He greeted, not looking up from his food preparations.

Antonio didn't know what to think of his response. On one hand, he got a response, on the other hand, he didn't look at Antonio? Which could be a bad thing?

Quinn let out a breath. "I'll…come with you." He finally said slowly. "If you're sure you want me to."

"I'm sure," Antonio reassured him a smile breaking bigger onto his face, "And I'm glad you'll come with me."

He nodded faintly. "Yeah. It'll be…odd. To leave." He looked around the room. "I've never left Ceridwen before."

"Well, first time for everything right?" Antonio replied in a poor attempt of making a joke to lighten the mood.
