Quinn gave him a tight smile.

@ShadeStar

Antonio grew a little worried about this interaction he was now walking into.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Quinn followed the bigger man through the hallways. It was a rather large building, and it looked like some of the walls had been punched open in order to connect to houses next door, making it even larger.

@ShadeStar

The house was certainly, interesting with its architecture. Antonio didn't know why certain walls had been punched through, but he certainly wouldn't ask anyone about it.

@ElderGod-Icefire

The man led them into a room. "Wait here. Someone will bring you to Bella." He left.

@ShadeStar

Antonio stopped and let out a mental sigh. Good he had a bit more time to get his story in order.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Quinn sat down, biting his lip faintly.

@ShadeStar

Antonio didn't know if he should sit down next to Quinn.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Quinn looked up at him, raising his eyebrows a little.

@ShadeStar

Antonio shrugged back at Quinn, "What?"

@ElderGod-Icefire

"Nothing." he said, looking away.

@ShadeStar

"Okay," Antonio nodded as he remained standing.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Quinn drummed his fingers a little anxiously.

@ShadeStar

Antonio hummed a little as he glanced around.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Eventually, someone came in. "Come with me." They said.

@ShadeStar

Antonio looked over at the new person and then back to Quinn.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Quinn got up, moving to follow.

@ShadeStar

Antonio followed after Quinn like a bit of a lost puppy.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Quinn was silent, waiting to see what would happen.

@ShadeStar

Antonio stayed quiet as well.

@ElderGod-Icefire

They were led into a room where two young women waited, one seated and the other standing behind the chair, leaning on it.

@ShadeStar

Antonio figured the one sitting was the one in charge here.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Quinn looked at the one sitting down. "Bella?" he asked slowly.

She inclined her head, raising her eyebrows. A jewel glittered where it was embedded in her left eyebrow, and her lipstick was dark. She looked lovely, but also dangerous, all at the same time. "Quinn. What do you want?"

@ShadeStar

Antonio figured Quinn could take any fall here. Even if that wasn't very royal of him.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Quinn took a deep breath. "I'm trying to find his family."

Bella's eyes flicked to Tony, then back to Quinn. "And that is my problem, how?" she questioned.

@ShadeStar

Antonio didn't know what to do or say. How was it her problem? He didn't know.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Quinn sighed. "Because they were here in the outskirts, that's why."

Bella shook her head a little. "I can't be responsible for everyone, Quinn."

@ShadeStar

Antonio had kind of assumed that might be the case. Maybe he didn't have to make something up at all or at least tell his story.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Quinn shook his head a little. "When you took over, you got the records for everyone around here. So I need to know. You promised that you'd work with the Ravens if need be. Well, I'm a Raven. Work with me."

Bella's lip curled faintly. "He's not a Raven." she gestured to Tony.

@ShadeStar

She's got a point, Antonio thought to himself. He hesitated for a moment trying to decided if he should speak up at this point.
