There were very few times where Quinn was ever speechless or didn't know what to say. She usually had some sort of response, whether it be verbal or a physical act, but this time there was nothing but a few blinks at the blonde sitting next to her. She had no idea Jenny felt this way.

After a moment, she did manage to come up with a response. "I... guess that makes two guilty parties. You've gotten yourself under my skin, doll. And I suppose you're right, you should have said something. I don't pick up on these things easily and I suppose I figured as you didn't say anything you were happy with the way things were."

She let out a small sigh, and the corner of her mouth turned down into a small frown. Despite this sudden clearing of air, something told her there was more to it. That this wasn't an admission that was going to end in a way they both liked. So she paused, and let Jenny continue on with whatever it was she wanted to get to.

"I was happy," Jenny replied quickly, desperately wanting to make that clear. Her hands in her lap tensed up, fingers interlacing, squeezing. "I wasn't unhappy, if I made it seem like that then I don't.. know, I didn't mean to. But I wasn't unhappy at all.. I was just sort of day-dreaming things into more than they were."

She couldn't help but smile, however, to Quinn's comment. She had gotten under her skin, something she hadn't even really realized. Though when she thought about it, she supposed there had to be a reason that Quinn usually went along with whatever she wanted.

"Mis-communication, I guess."

She shifted a little on the bed, turning to face Quinn more fully, and managing a very small smile. "I have to tell you more than how I felt though, you probably.. realize that by now."

This was all well and good and the admissions of both so far were great, but Quinn still had that nagging feeling that sharing emotions and thoughts wasn't entirely the point of this talk. "Yea, miscommunication," she repeated with a bit of an absent tone as she tried to figure out what Jenny might be after.

The only thing that came to mind was that she might be breaking off this little beneficial friendship. If there was more than this and Jenny wasn't getting happier, then it couldn't be going in a good direction.

Quinn's eyes never left Jenny's face when she turned, though after the mention of more, her eyes fell to the bed for a moment. There was a small nod before her eyes turned back to Jenny's. "Yea, I figured there was more to it. Well, lay it on me." Might as well get it over with.

Jenny felt bad immediately, more or less reading the disappointment in Quinn's tone. She could only drag this out for so long, it was now or never. It had to be now, no matter how awkward it was, it was better than letting this spiral out of control and hurt not only both of them, but Sera as well. Before today, she probably wouldn't have believed that Quinn could be hurt by her. Now, she was kind of worrying that she might have been hurting her already.

There was really no sense in mincing words any longer. "I have a girlfriend," the blonde whispered, her eyes lowering to the bed again, staring at the blankets instead. It was easier than eye contact. "I've really.. I wanted to tell you sooner, but I couldn't.. it never seemed like the time, and I just-- I'm sorry."

Finally looking up from the blanket, she tried to search Quinn's face for a reaction, still unsure what it might be at this point.

While Quinn expected bad news to come it still didn't quite prepare her for hearing it. Jenny said those first three words and it felt like she'd been slapped across the face. Quinn's eyes quickly moved from Jenny to the bed again.

Jenny had gotten to her in their time together and she had become almost painfully aware of it during this conversation. For a moment she was angry, she was hurt, confused, and unsure all wrapped up together in a giant mass of shit.

But Quinn didn't pride herself on keeping her emotions hidden for no reason. After that initial shattering moment, she reigned it in, took a breath, and looked back up at Jenny with a bit of a pout. "Pity. But I suppose, if you're happy."

Then, Quinn had a rather selfish thought. "Though, I do have one favor to ask."

Jenny had been expecting something worse, maybe even a slap or something. She wouldn't have really objected, she could have dealt with it. She felt bad now, about everything being so misunderstood between them, and how it had all turned out. If she had been thoughtless enough to hurt the older girl, then a slap wasn't out of the question.

But the pout and nonchalant tone sort of took her back, even though she should have known what to expect from Quinn. That was part of their problem, the brunette always seemed to be pulling back from her, playing a game and trying to prove who cared less. She almost would have preferred to be slapped than pouted at like that.

"I am very happy," she replied cautiously, looking up from the bed and at Quinn again, pouting back some. "What's that?" she asked of the favor, wringing her hands in her lap again as she waited. Whatever it was, she knew she owed her at least that much.
