Varian: Good morning, Dad.
Quirin: Good morning, problem child.
Quirin: Shouldn’t you be asleep?
Varian: I should be a lot of things but I live to disappoint.
Background characters aren't usually what comes to mind when you think of "advancing the plot", but in this case I think they may have.
The villagers of Old Corona presumably left to escape the black rocks, but don't you think they wondered why Quirin - their leader - didn't come with them? Or his son for that matter? It's entirely possible they went back to search for him, but found Varian instead. I'm not sure what he would've told them, but I wanted to depict this interaction anyway.
I like to think that when it came to following Edmund's orders, the Brotherhood can be put into three categories: positive, negative and neutral.
Hector is positive because he followed them to the letter - he did everything in his power to stop anyone from reaching the Dark Kingdom.
Adira is negative because she actively disobeyed by helping Rapunzel get to the Moonstone.
Quirin is neutral since he gave up being a knight to settle down and have a family, so he wasn't actively affecting the situation one way or another. The one exception to this was when he warned King Frederick about the dangers of uprooting the Sundrop flower.
And yet, in their own ways, they were all still upholding their oath: to protect the world from the destructive powers of the moonstone.
