A growing desire
Although they were at the centre of the reception room, Quinn felt like there was no need to drag things on and do Hayley's transformation somewhere else. If she turned into something dangerous, he had enough strength to subdue her before she went berserk.
Of course, he was still worried. The more he turned people, the more chance he had of hitting one of the bad subclasses.
The others in the room would constantly glance over to see what Quinn was doing. However, everyone here already knew what he was and saw that Hayley had requested this. They weren't just regular members of the Cursed faction but the leaders, and it wasn't like he was going against her will or forcing her into the ritual.
