"Oh. Sorry. I didn't mean to intrude..." Quinn turned to leave, but then thought about dragging his luggage further down the train. He turned back towards the girl. "Would you mind if I sat in here? I-if you're waiting for friends or something I can definitely find a different compartment, but..." Quinn trailed off, looking back at his trunk. "...if you could spare the space, I would appreciate it." Quinn had always been more comfortable around girls, anyway, since he never really related to the boys and their interests, so he thought this could be a nice place to sit. And was part of the reason he didn't go looking for Atlas to sit with.
Ooooh. The anxiety is strong with this one. Eden smiled at the newcomer. Perfect. If she started getting nervous it'd be less obvious.
"Be my guest," she said, gesturing to the empty seats surrounding her.
"Just know that if you brought snacks I'll be asking for some." She was serious about that. She'd brought a giant bag of Doritos and some money to raid the food trolley, but her stomach was basically an abyss.
The petite redhead sat upright in her seat, trainers swinging off her trunk and onto the floor, and gave the boy a once-over. He was carrying a lot more luggage with him, including a potted plant that she'd be asking about shortly.
"Do you need a hand with any of that?," she asked, holding a hand out to help.
"I'm Eden, by the way."
