"Who are you?"
Uh oh. She had let it slip, hadn't she. It didn't matter too much. If she was to be good friends with at least someone, she should at least tell them just who they were dealing with. She turned to face him with an incredibly modest expression. She raised her left hand to rub the back of her neck, and her sleeve fell back. The daughter of Poseidon glanced at her wrist. The navy mark of the Camorra was tattooed there.
"To be honest, I am from the Camorra. The Carmorra Mafia. I am a commander of a small unit." She told him, bracing herself for a look of horror, rejection, or even something worse. Pyre hopefully wasn't that kind of person. But most demigods had odd pasts and stuff, right?

Pyre's face probably showed a large degree of shock. No horror, not quite, but plenty of shock. However, he realized this was probably not the reaction Quinn was hoping for, and his expression calmed. Only kindness and understanding shown on his expression. 'Who are you?' - a question he'd asked her without an answer for himself. Who was he? He was no better than a member of the mafia. He's killed, too.
Deciding to move passed the mafia deal, Pyre nodded. However, he felt guilty and let his secret slip too, at first believing it was simply a thought in his mind. It took him a moment to realize he'd said it, aloud. "I'm a murderer...." His lips snapped shut, realizing he'd said what he did. He wished he could take it back; to reach out and grab the words he'd spoken and bury them. Forever.
It was too late, now. He'd have to explain himself. "I killed a kid - a mortal," he said, sadly reflecting upon his past. His mind, as it always did when he thought of Jacob, his close friend, seemed to fracture. His sanity took another blow. He knew he was going insane from guilt but he couldn't let the secret slip out to anyone. Only those he felt wouldn't judge him were told. Not even Garret knew. Only Sabrina and he hadn't spoken to her since that day. "I didn't mean to..." he whispered to himself, forgetting there was another person in front of him.
