[ Normal isn't so common in Wonderland, so any amount of that really does feel good. Blake smiles, catches the ball, returns it. ]

Easier said than done. People aren't exactly the most social 'round here. Pretty sure you've noticed.

[ Although, some might claim that of Blake, too, and he seems pretty sociable. ]

Enough seemed to be today.

( Quinn gives a small shrug after catching the ball, turning it over in her hands before throwing it back )

I wouldn't say I've gotten out that much either.

( If it had been another point in her life it would have been a different story )

Guess that just means you're the kinda person that draws out crowds of people. Doesn't seem that outta the ordinary for you, Quinn.

[ She was a cheerleader, after all. And she's definitely a sweet and kind and thoughtful young woman. Why wouldn't anyone want to come to her party?

Blake tosses the ball back. ]

( Sweet and kind... Blake doesn't want to know her when she's not pregnant then )

I might have agreed with that months ago - before coming to Wonderland. ( Months before Wonderland ) But it felt like something changed.

( Something did and it wasn't really a feeling. She started drawing crowds for different reasons )

It probably just seems different to me.

( Or it's different people. Ball toss your go )

[ Even if he did know here before this, he'd call her sweet and kind. It's not like she hasn't always had the ability. And from Blake's perspective, he's dealt with plenty of part-time bitches, so there's no convincing him he doesn't have it right, at least on some level.

He misses the ball and chases after it at a light jog. ]

It gets hard here. Anyone that'd say diff'rent ain't thinkin' right. But just 'cause you're feelin' diff'rent don't mean you are. Made of the same stuff, just molded into another shape.

Most people don't make it seem like they think it's hard.

( Maybe they think it but just aren't saying it, but sometimes it makes her feel silly for not feeling like she's doing as well here, or for feeling lost by it all )

Most people — 'specially here — are pretty good at hidin' things. Doesn't make it any easier. We're all strugglin'.

[ He smiles and steps forward, offering out the ball to her, this time by hand. ]

So you're in good comp'ny, okay? The kind that's gonna take care of you no matter what.
