"Right. Yeah." He said quietly, raking his hands through his hair and shaking his head. "It's just…odd."

"I, I get that," Antonio watched Quinn for a moment.

Quinn nodded faintly. "I uh, I packed last night, by the way."

"You did?" Antonio perked up slightly, he hadn't been expecting that.

"Yeah. It's not like I had a lot to pack." He shrugged.

Antonio nodded a little bit, "Um, of course."

Quinn glanced around the kitchen. "I should take my extra food to the neighbors, though. So it doesn't get wasted."

"Yeah, and you could say goodbye too?" Antonio replied figuring Quinn would want to do that.

"I'm not close with any of them. Too much disease risk." He said, shaking his head.

"Oh," Antonio replied after a moment's pause, "That, uh, makes sense."

He nodded a little. It was lonely, sometimes, but it was the way he had to live.

Antonio hummed softly as he tried what to say next.

He was quiet, finishing making breakfast.

Antonio continued humming stepping towards Quinn to maybe help out.

"Can you get some plates out?" He asked, glancing over at Tony.

"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."
