Quinn looked at her, opened his mouth… and then closed it.
Rose sighed,
"And June?"
Quinn looked at the door as if expecting it to open on queue. It didn't.
"I'm… sure they'll get here soon."
Rose clamped her eyes shut and shook her head slowly,
"Go find them."
Quinn raised an eyebrow,
"Me?"
He said, pointing at himself as if there was a bunch of other people in the room who she could be referring to.
"Yes you. Unless there's something you're doing right now?"
It wasn't really a question.
Quinn sighed,
"No…"
And headed for the door. Pulling the poorly built thing open with a wretched creak. He paused for a second as if he wanted to say something, then slipped out of the hut and continued down the road.

Less than five minutes later Rowan and June walked in. Quinn was not with them.
"You're late."
Rose stated.
"You're just extremely early, as usual."
Rowan retorted, taking a seat at the end of the table opposite Rose.
He glanced around the room quickly,
"How long have you been in here?"
Rose just glared at him for an uncomfortably long second. Then she responded in her overly antagonizing tone.
"Half the time you should have been here."
"That's not a number."
"I know."
Rowan shifted uncomfortably under Rose's suffocating glare.
June broke first, she had to break the ever increasing tension, somehow.
"Where's… Quinn?"
Rowan looked towards June, he had an excuse now.
"Probably with some friends. I haven't actually seen him this morning."
Rowan admitted, he hadn't really thought about it.
"He was looking for you."
Rose answered indifferently.
Rowan raised an eyebrow,
"What?"
Rose clarified,
"You were late, so I sent him to find you."
Rowan just stared at her,
"Why was he here?"
Rose leaned back slightly in her backless chair,
"He was actually on time."
