[Quentin glances at the rest of the room; most people are distracted by the game or by talking, the pool area isn't currently popular and he makes a calculation in his head. He doesn't exactly want to make her go somewhere private, that would sound suuuuuper sketchy, so he puts his back to the room, sliding his glove off and offering his hand like it's a real shake this time.

Inwardly he steels himself, putting to the surface only the emotions he would want a stranger to have to deal with. In this case it's not that hard; he is sincere, serious, and just wants to help. That seeps out of him with or without an empathy bond, so it'll just be more obvious if she takes his hand. ]

Really quick though, you'll see it right away.
