Quentin doesn't miss those hardening eyes. Nice to see that Osborn isn't entirely willing to roll over and take it.
He vaguely checks the whiskey, but the seal on it isn't cracked. Can't do much to glass unless you break it. He'll take his chances with the drink. If he gets offed again- fuck it. Quentin getting fooled twice, by the same guy, will be shame enough. Then he gets to the envelope, and-
"No." The response is automatic, because this is exactly what he expected. A rich man throwing money at a problem so it'll go away. "No, I'm not accepting this. I'm not some charity case, or some-" Quentin gets out of his seat to stalk around a little, unable to look at Norman for the moment. "Some slut looking for an out of court settlement after you stiffed me. I don't want anything from you here, least of all that."
And here's the thing Quentin doesn't want to admit: If Norman had some place built, he could theoretically have keys to it. No fucking thanks.
When he does turn to Norman again, he definitely looks more than a little ready to bite if approached in a threatening manner. "Money can't buy forgiveness. It won't get you shit with me."
cw: mild self-destructive thoughts, (I guess???) misogyny, slut shaming language
