The sign outside the coffee shop had advertised the best chili in Lawrence, but seeing the actual product had Eliot skeptical. Standing in line to order a cup of hot tea, he watched a few of the patrons come away from the counter with bowls that looked more like they were filled with a tomato soup that had seen better days than what they were advertising. But the idea of chili, with the weather the way it was, had been an appealing one.

Once he'd gotten back to the complex, he'd dug out everything he needed for the old recipe. Well, almost everything. A few of the things he thought he'd had turned out to be minimal or nonexistent. Even if he was cooking enough for a few people, he needed more than what he had. He was used to growing his own food when he had his own place. Here, it was just easier to borrow from others. So it was either the kitchen or the grocery store. The latter sounded quicker and smarter than the former.

Heading back down to the kitchen, he set the half-finished Styrofoam cup on the counter and headed for the fridge. Whatever he grabbed, he'd replace in the next couple of days. For now, he just wanted a decent dinner.

She was asking the right person when it came to that. "What? Is it wrong someone's afraid of crossing you? Hell no," he replied with a laugh. "Enjoy it." That might not have been the best answer but in Eliot's world, most of the time it was a good thing. There was always that ass that decided to hire out to take care of the problem but for the most part, one more person scared to cross him was one less problem he had to deal with.

Eliot hesitated, closing his mouth. It wasn't an answer he had to give much thought to. No one here long enough to see people come and go did. But he was talking to a worried kid with a baby on the way. "No one knows," he said finally, going with tactful honesty. "We don't have an idea of how the seal works. Sometimes it takes people together, sometimes it takes them separately." Then sometimes, it brought them back months later, from different places in their lives or without remembering they were here to begin with. "It's possible that it might." If it decided to send them back at all.

"There might be some in the pantry." The change of subject wasn't unwelcome. It was one he'd been over a million times in his mind and grew frustrated every single time when he came no closer to an answer than he had been before. "You mind checking for me?"

Quinn laughed, more amused than anything else about it. She probably shouldn't have been so entertained by the idea of people, mostly Puck being afraid of crossing her. She'd take it. "Y'know I think I will" she said with a grin looking at the guy again after a moment and squinting slightly. "Do people tend to be afraid to cross you then?" she asked. He'd always seemed nice from the little she knew of him before, friendly, and of course he was making Chilli, and she most definitely approved of that. It was just the way he talked on the boards sometimes. She'd probably be afraid of crossing him herself. Didn't mean he wasn't a nice guy, and kind. She appreciated that about him. Even if he was being blunt with her, she could loose Puck, she could loose him and be left here with her kid and nothing else, or she could go home and leave him here. She didn't think it would bother her.

"Thanks for not sugar coating it. Most people might I guess, but I appreciate it that you didn't. I guess I can just hope it doesn't decide to be that cruel. Do you think...its a person, is it a sentient thing messing with us?" That said though, Quinn was more than happy to take the oppetunity to check for the beans instead of thinking about what she'd just asked, she didn't want to imagine some all powerful something taking her choice away from her and pulling her from her world to another and then putting them back, seperating her from the people she needed around her now that she had no one else. Quinn moved to the pantry and started looking around for the beans hoping they weren't too high up. She didn't do so well with high up lately.

"How do you cope with it, back and forward like that. Do you remember being here the last time?" she asked, finally placing the beans and taking a small tin of them back to the Kitchen to Elliot as she waited on him to respond to her

He was amused by what this Puck kid was going to be facing once Quinn took full advantage of the situation. Better the man responsible than the bystanders. Eliot smiled slightly. Were people afraid to cross him? If he was in the right place and time, the answer would have been yes. He had a reputation that wasn't too far from the truth. The people that knew of it knew crossing Eliot Spencer could be one of the last things they did in their life. "Yeah, they do," he replied after a few brief seconds of silence had passed. "I think most people are like that. No one appreciates being messed with." It was just the reaction that varied.

"You're welcome." He crouched down to find a pot in one of the cupboards. Pushing aside one of the bigger pots, he found the smaller one. Lying or making it easier wasn't going to do anyone much good. Quinn seemed to know there was a chance she'd be separated from her boyfriend, friend, whoever the guy was to her. Telling her that wouldn't happen wouldn't do her much good. "Depends on what day we're being messed with." He stood and set the pot on the stove. "Been tricksters, angels, whatever comes through that damn seal." And he hated it every single time he was blindsided. His head had been messed with more in the past year than in the past thirty three years for him combined.

"Yeah, I remember. When I got back, it sort of faded because it's nothing you talk about without seeming crazy. Like having a bad dream." Grabbing the cutting board and a knife, he turned to grab a few stalks of celery and washed them off before he started chopping. "Some people show up again and they're from a different point, don't remember a thing from the first time they're here."
