Quinn chuckled a little bit."I guess? M, didn't want anything to do with it. I share her sentiments for the most part, but at the same time, there is always an obligation to family." She shrugged one shoulder like, 'what else was I supposed to do?' No, Quinn wasn't the type to leave her clan open to being taken advantage of.
She took in his admitting that he was no longer a part of the Invictus. She raised both eyebrows once before letting them fall, using the plump cherries skewered on a toothpick to swirl around the cold liquid in the sweating glass. She lifted the drink to her lips to hide the frown.
"I can't exactly say I am 'glad' that was the reason and not some personal issue of some sort, or just being busy in general. You seemed so settled in your department. Forgive me for being forward but I think I am about to prove my previous point," She paused with a slight smirk. Nosey. All Mehket were nosey fucks, and Edward unwittenly just tickled her feelers. Like a shark smelling blood in the water. Wasn't Edward lucky? He was sitting across from the Great White of 'All your bidness belongs to me.' "What could have caused you to have to leave your department?" It was in that moment she decided to use Auspex. She couldn't have asked for a better set up for it. Talking one on one, alone, outside of court. She put in the leading question to make him think of the answer, whether or not he said it out loud. The iron was hot as they say.
Quinn nodded a bit at the last. Not seeming bothered by it in the slightest. "The goals of my department and yours are completely different 90% of the time. It's a big city, there is plenty of that to go around. You know my education, but not my experiences and what I have worked on, and I guess now it really doesn't matter as your former department is no longer your concern. Unless as you say, you are still working for the department and just consider yourself freelance?" She said wtih a slight smile. She knew that game too, but in the interest of throwing a dog a bone, she could easily be convinced to play ball a bit. "I suppose I could give you the more important piece of the information you seek if that is the case. I don't envy your position that you are in."
Would Quinn normally be so forthcoming? No. Then again one does have an attack of conscience while basically stripping someone of their mental defense.
