Quinn wasn't sure what to make of the small crowd. Rachel had insisted she attend the party. She wasn't afraid of people with large egos or slightly off center craziness. She had survived several years of Sue Sylvester, after all. But this was her first time seeing Berry in a social situation where people were actually glad to see her.
After several months of sharing an apartment, Quinn had gotten used to a new, calmer Berry. A Berry that didn't try to overwhelm everyone with a torrent of long words. A Berry who kept to herself. But seeing her work the crowd at the party, she knew she must be missing something.
"Not what you expected?" the director asked, nodding at Rachel laughing at something one of her costars said.
"No," Quinn said, shaking her head. "She's usually so calm. I've known her since high school. She can out-talk almost anyone. But this? This is different."
"They listen to her," he said. "They want to know what she thinks."
Quinn nodded in agreement.
"They make it look easy, being onstage, but they all need time to recharge," he said. "You're privileged. She doesn't let many see her like that."
