Quinn hummed. "What wold you like to eat?" he asked.

@ShadeStar

"Like yesterday, whatever you want to make me," Antonio replied after some thought.

@ElderGod-Icefire

"Alright. Is eggs alright?" he asked, raising his eyebrows.

@ShadeStar

"Eggs is fine," Antonio responded with a light smile.

@ElderGod-Icefire

"Alright." he startd working on making some eggs.

@ShadeStar

Antonio was still trying to figure out if Quinn had read his papers. He assumed not given he was still being treated the same.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Quinn continued working on the eggs. He had not read the papers, no, even though he was curious about them.

@ShadeStar

Antonio glanced over at Quinn, "Soo how long were you down before I woke up?"

@ElderGod-Icefire

"Oh, just a few minutes." He replied with a quick smile.

@ShadeStar

"Oh, okay," Antonio nodded with a light smile back.

@ElderGod-Icefire

He kept working on the eggs quietly.

@ShadeStar

Antonio watched him patiently.

@ElderGod-Icefire

He continued working, humming quietly.

@ShadeStar

Antonio had a light smile on watching him work along.

@ElderGod-Icefire

He continued to work on the eggs.

@ShadeStar

Antonio thought for a moment before asking, "So we're still going out today?"

@ElderGod-Icefire

"Yeah." he replied. "I'll tell one of the others that I won't make it."

@ShadeStar

"Okay," Antonio nodded slightly, "Are you sure they'll be fine without you?"

@ElderGod-Icefire

"For one day, yeah." he smiled faintly.

@ShadeStar

Antonio gave a smile back, "Then they'll need you back again?"

@ElderGod-Icefire

"Yeah." he replied with a quick nod.

@ShadeStar

"Do you get paid for working with the sick?" Antonio asked him. He knew Quinn really didn't have a choice but to help, but was he getting paid for it.

@ElderGod-Icefire

"Uhm…no. The city…we don't really have much use for money anymore. We take care of each other. Everyone's got food, water, clothes, a place to live. Anything else…" he shrugged.

@ShadeStar

"That, makes a lot of sense," Antonio replied with a slight nod. For a city suffering such devastation, it made sense to forgo money altogether, "But how do you get the supplies?"

@ElderGod-Icefire

"The city treasury pays for most of it. Also, any money that the dead had when they died gets absorbed by the city. Ceridwen had a lot of money, back in the day, and we still have a lot left over."

@ShadeStar

"That also makes a lot of sense," Antonio responded his head bobbing slightly. He thought for another moment, "So mot of the wealthy have died?"

@ElderGod-Icefire

Quinn shrugged. "I don't know. I don't keep track." he replied with a hum.

@ShadeStar

"That's fine, I was just curious," Antonio responded with another hum.

@ElderGod-Icefire

He nodded, and continued to work on making the eggs.

@ShadeStar

Antonio went silent after that. He figured the eggs would be finished soon.
