Quinn's eyes kept returning to the Lorelei Lee Lovecraft novel on the table. She didn't know it. And the temptation to copy it into her infinity book was strong. She looked back up only when Beth mentioned that Eria was Lorelei Lee's daughter, and Quinn studied her anew.

"Your Mum has a wonderful way with written prose." That was all. But for Quinn, as Beth knew, that was practically gushing. "I'm looking forward to," her eyes returned briefly to the book on the table, "her next book." Was that it?

So, this was her? Quinn glanced back up at Eria, more curious this time than scrutinizing. This was Beth's latest hero? Honestly, Quinn could see why this time. There have been times in the past, when Quinn hadn't been able to grasp what Beth saw in her then current hero. Eria, she understood.

Quinn was still watching Eria curiously as Eria watched her back, when she mentioned manipulation should be a skill that everyone woman should know. She looked away, staring off into the stacks of books without actually seeing them, and pondered on that. There was truth to it to some degree, Quinn could feel that, but it wasn't black and white either. "Perhaps." Manipulation also involved drawing people closer, even temporarily, in order to persuade them with flirting, the way Beth did it at least, and unspoken promises. That wasn't exactly Quinn, though. She preferred most people keeping a health distance, and for that, her apparently naturally intimidating demeanor seemed quite effective.

The compliment, because Quinn could feel that was what it truly was, got a pleased smile. "I might be the first in my family in many generations that didn't get placed in Slytherin. It was a surprise when I wasn't." Her tone added that she would have considered that preferable. At the same time, she could the traits inside her that landed in her Ravenclaw. And Ravenclaw was worlds better than being put in Gryffindor, or much worse, Hufflepuff. "Still, the tower's not so bad."
