"Alright." He said, looking around and taking in the sights.

Antonio let out a little hum letting silence fall between them.

Quinn kept walking, following the road quietly.

Antonio walked along the road for a few moments before reaching into his bag to pull out a map.

Quinn looked around quietly, biting his lip faintly.

Antonio glanced at the map as he tried to route a path to the capital with as few cities as possible. More for Quinn than for him, and while it would be easy for now, the closer to the capital the harder.

Quinn kept looking around. It was strange, for him, not to be surrounded by buildings and streets the entire time.

Antonio glanced over at Quinn, "Is it strange not being in the city?"

"Yes." He replied softly, looking around and taking a deep breath.

"Do you like it?" Antonio asked wondering if maybe they should go through more cities, it would be more crowded but also more familiar to Quinn.

"I…don't know yet." He laughed faintly.

"That's fine! I was just trying to map out our path," Antonio laughed a little with him, "Just wanted to know if you were comfortable camping out in the wilderness or if you wanted to stick more to cities."

"I… whichever route you believe would be fastest is probably the, ah, best way." He replied softly, still looking around.

"But would you be comfortable going through crowded cities?" Antonio asked in return. He didn't want to push Quinn further than need be.

He nodded. "I think so." He replied. "As far as I know."

"Okay, we can go through one nearby and see how you handle it?" Antonio offered.

He nodded a little. "Yeah. Should I…change first?" He glanced down at his clothes with a faint frown.

"I mean, probably?" Antonio said looking at his attire, "What you wore inside the house should be fine."

"Alright. Where do I…do that?" he looked around uncertainly.

"That… Is a good question," Antoni said while glancing around the area. He spotted an area that had decent cover and privacy, "Maybe over there?"

He nodded a little, heading over towards that area so he could change.

Antonio stopped and waited where he was for Quinn to change.

Quinn changed, coming back after a few minutes in a sweater and slacks.

Antonio smiled a little when Quinn came back in more normal-looking clothes.

He looked over at Tony. "Better?" He questioned.
