The only thing that was going through Quinn's mind was 'how did he keep getting roped into these things'. Once again he was suited up in a tailored suit with auburn vest. He had 'lost' the tie shortly after the party started and the top button of his shirt just magically came undone. It wasn't like there was any real reason for him to be at this party other then his mother asked him.

It turned out that his mom accepted the invitation to the party a while ago but his dad had to attend a last minute meeting in LA so Quinn became the spare escort. He hated these things. Most of the attendees were his parents age or much older so he ended up standing around listening to all the old fogies give him advice in being successful in his future business dealings.... or worse the old ladies talk about their granddaughters or nieces or daughters. Like Quinn didn't have enough going on in his life to have a girlfriend.

Seeing an opportunity Quinn took it and slipped out of the ball room. He found a out of the way side table and chair in hall of the swanky hotel. He wouldn't have much time but he could take the stolen moments to unwind slightly. He fished out a deck of cards from his pants pocket and it didn't take him long at all to start to build a house from them.

(( Think this ))

Kail hated these parties too. The attendees were always older, which meant many of them thought pinching his cheeks (he wasn't a CHILD any more, even if he did have the unfortunate sense to look like one) was acceptable, but then got weird when he wanted to touch their faces in return. So he was under strict instructions to behave perfectly which was hard, okay. It was hard to not do the things you needed to do. Wanted to do. Should do. Shouldn't do? WHATEVER.

Kail had actually won an argument with his mother, and got away with wearing some kind of designer-label cashmere-merino blend sweater in beige with brown slacks and polished brown shoes. But the point was, it was a comfy sweater that actually felt nice in his hands, and the slacks weren't so bad as usual, even if the shoes did pinch awfully, he could always take them off when she wasn't looking. Of course, he'd only won the argument so much - the sweater was tight fitting and the slacks hugged his thin legs, and she'd made him take his glasses off. It was the last thing he was currently peeved about, because it meant he couldnt' read anything, or even view small details well. Stalking (for that was the only word for it) through the hotel side corridors, he was off to their fancy suite to find his glasses.

She could only have hidden them in so many places, right? Caught up in thoughts, Kail was almost on top of Quinn when he noticed the older boy, but his attention was immediately drawn to the card house.

"That." He proclaimed. "That is really awesome."

And then remembering his manners, he stuck out his hand.

"Kail Cubrin, nice to meet you."

The (mono)tone of voice suggested this was something that had been drilled into him, rather than came naturally.

Quinn was working on expanding the simple three lay card house when someone spoke fairly close by. It made him jerk just enough to send the cards to the table top with a sigh. "Bah." Quinn muttered as he looked up and spotted a young boy standing there in a very brown outfit. He looked uncomfortable and peeved so Quinn didn't say anything about the tight pants and really odd outfit.

He blinked in surprise when the kid extended his hand and introduced himself in a really robotic tone. "Uh, yeah. Quinn.... Arthur Quinton. Nice to meet you Kail." The name Cubrin sounded familiar but Quinn just shrugged it off and stacked the cards once more into a orderly pile. "So, um, what are you doing out here?" The hall he had found really was in a out of the way location but still fairly close to the party so it stood to reason that Kail came from the party, or was really lost. Either way talking to the kid would be a good reason for delaying his entrance back to the party.

Cubrin would be a familiar name if you frequented high-society events - Kail's mother was a veritable socialite. Of course it could also be familiar if you were into banking. Though who was into banking as a hobby? Weirdos, that was the answer. (according to Kail, anyway. I mean, maths was /great/, who didn't love maths - it had so many applications! But managing money and doing figures? eeeh, not so much...)

"Mother removed my glasses on account of they were unfashionable and not suitable for the party. However I am unable to discern details without them...so I am going to go hunt for them. She could only have hidden them in so many places, after all."

Then, he shuffled awkwardly and apologized.

"Sorry about your card house, I only meant to compliment it. It's a skill I do not possess, and it's an impressive feat of engineering and hand-eye-cooardination."

sorry about the long delay love ^.^' i hope this post is ok for the length of time you had to wait for it


Quinn watched silently as Kail seemed to explain his hallway wanderings and found he couldn't help but ask the obvious, "if she took your glasses why not get contacts?" The cards sat stacked on the table but Quinn scooped them up and started to shuffle them, maybe he could get a game of poker out of the kid. The sandy haired scion of the Destiny City Quintons eyed the younger boy and mentally sneered. Poker? Hell it looked like Go Fish was more his speed but right then Quinn wasn't terribly picky, anything was better than being in the party.

He quickly shuffled the deck and began to split it into two equal piles. "Meh. A house of cards is meant to fall. It's more amusing to try building much larger structures that are less fragile. Card houses are more a practice in patience then design." He gesture to the other heavily ornate chair that sat on the other side of the stone topped side table. "Pull up a chair Kail. Let's play a game of war." He pushed one of the piles in his direction. "If your mom complains we can always say we were discussing the charity the party is for or something." Quinn shrugged and straightened his half of the deck.
