Quinn doesn't really have reason to tie him to much of anything, and so the things that he does have in that area, he holds ever closer. He was honest in what he could and couldn't be right now, honest in his confusion of self and what he even wanted, who he even was at this point in his life. Because Quinn doesn't know, isn't sure how to start looking and picking apart one thing from another to decide who he now was. What he does know, however, is he cannot figure all of it out on his own, and it wasn't going to go very well if he counted on strangers. All those morals and scruples and something bad was bound to happen. Talking with Echidna over all of these things, however? That he could do without the worry that he would say the wrong thing. Morals wouldn't be a problem -- or his lack thereof -- and Quinn knows that Echidna would give opinions that did not wallow in good and evil boxes the way that so many others would want to do.
He was tied to his few reasons to be here, to keep going, and his friendship with Echidna was one of those very few reasons. Trying to keep the Rampaging Rabbit afloat was the other one. So far, the only other one. There wasn't a lot left to hold onto in this world, with his searching bringing up nothing and the feeling of just not knowing what else was worth while. Throwing himself into jobs and work would be the best way to deal with everything else being so shaky around him, though Quinn felt up and down when it came to his mercenary work here. Mostly because it didn't feel the same in this place. The jobs offered had become boring to him, and even the exploring had become meaningless in all but the one personal thing that drove him to keep doing it. But he found nothing that really made him interested about this land. Maybe it was his mind frame, the fact that it seemed that this place had sucked so much happiness from his life.
That was what it felt like to him. Therefore he couldn't help but want to seek out Echidna, when she had been the one that caused that warmth in his chest the last time he had seen her. It was something in the vast sea of nothings here, and Quinn did not want to keep away. Plus, there were hunts to go for, which Quinn was up to doing at nearly any time. He enjoyed his running, but after some time, even that wasn't working the way that it used to. Quinn doesn't know where he really ought to be, or what he ought to be doing, but he does know that there wasn't much that could hold him back if he wanted to go for something. Anything. He just had nothing right now that he wanted to go after. Except a next meal, whenever the hunger struck him. And this. Just looking forward to company that he felt like he could be himself around. If Echidna was even here to begin with; if she was around close enough to notice that he was here.
The area certainly had enough of her scent around to tell him that she came and went here, but he couldn't pick up anything that was telling. There was a strange scent underlining the area that made him uncertain, though he did find out why that was; a growl told him that something was up, but the growl was not feline or canine. His gaze landed on the crocodile that snapped jaws at him, and he paused in instinctual alarm. It wasn't that he thought he could not get away from a crocodile, because he could, but more that the cheetah part of him knew danger, and Quinn hadn't come across a crocodile in a long, long time. It was a little unsettling. Or it was until it suddenly asked him 'sup', and what he thought about the new form, if he wanted to test out the teeth. His eyes narrowed a little, but not in a bad way. "A crocodile, Echidna? This is different." Came his reply, and he moved closer to look at all the teeth, hand reaching out to pass along several. "Is it fun?" He asks lightly, curious.
