Quint breathed a sigh of relief when they found the girls parents.  Both that their search was over and that they were alive to be reunited with their child.
He let the squirming child down and watched her run towards the man and woman.  He decided to stay back and let Esperanza handle things, she was clearly better at it than he was.  Sure, he could bluff his way past border guards, security checkpoints and even fool sniffer dogs, but here he was out of his element somewhat.  Situations like this were more within Esperanza's skill set.

As they parted ways, Quint waved as they left to go and take in the unknown.  Today was just another way Korven chewed people up and spat them out, but at least they were here and not in Lisden.

[i][color=a187be]"What an exciting day, huh?"[/color] she asked playfully, heading toward the back of the crowd.  It seemed that things at the scene were well under control.  [color=a187be]"Better yet I get to work later.  Will you be coming by for a visit?"[/color] she asked, tilting her head to the side.  She paused at the sidewalk which would toward her home.[/i]

"Yeah, to say the least.  Something about this doesn't feel like an ordinary electrical fault.  Sully and your Brother seemed tense..."
Quint shook his head and turned back to Esperanza, no sense worrying too much about it.  It was Unseen business, apparently.  If Quint was needed for anything he would be there, but until they asked there was no getting involved.  He respected The Unseen, and knew their practices well enough to know what kind of distance he should keep.  
"Oh, you better believe I'll be there.  I need a drink to get the taste of smoke out of my mouth," he said as he realized how the smell had gotten into his clothes as well.
"Do you want me to walk with you?"  He asked her.  Asides from his genuine fondness for her company, he knew what kind of grubs came out of the woodwork during times like these.  There were always small-time crooks looking to take advantage of the panic, and if one or more of them were to see a lone woman with one leg walking on her own they would be like sharks to blood.
Esperanza was tough as nails, and anyone who knew her brother would know not to fuck with her, but Quint wasn't going to be the guy in the torture seat for letting anything happen to her.
All that aside, Esperanza was one of the closest friends Quint had in a world where he really had few people to truly count on.
