Quintus sees Jason as childish, troublemaking and--with the benefit of not having to deal with him directly anymore--rather pathetic, all things considered. He's dealt with plenty of guys with hair-trigger tempers in the Districts and wouldn't consider Jason the worst, but the thing that really gets him is his sheer stupidity in the realm of public relations. The racism, the entitlement and the self-centeredness are all pretty par for the course as far as Capitol society is concerned, but at least most Capitolites don't feel the need to blast that all over the network. There's resentment on a personal level there, but it's somewhat diluted by the fact that Quintus does consider himself at an odd intersection between societies--he doesn't quite identify with the Districters Jason rants about, nor does he consider himself a Capitolite, as repulsive as certain aspects of their culture are to him. Most of his frustration is pragmatic--he knows what happens when you rile the populace up and make implicit injustices explicit. He doesn't want to have to put out a fire Jason caused, and is thankful that he hasn't heard much from his end now that this tense political situation has taken hold.

Tom is the kind of person that Quintus really cannot understand. Quintus was brought up believing in the virtues of service to others and is still firmly entrenched in selflessness (though as of late he's been entertaining some new, rather uncomfortable thoughts about what he personally may or may not deserve--he's not used to the idea of being owed anything for his hard work. XD) He views selfishness in a person as both sort of gross and rather dangerous. Tom is absolutely not someone he would have ever placed in the ranks of the Peacekeepers, had he been in charge at the time, because as far as Quintus is concerned they don't need that kind of risk amidst them. He's continually frustrated by the willingness of his superiors to give offworlders opportunities in spite of their questionable loyalties, especially in a military setting, because he not only has reservations from a security standpoint but also understands the importance of having cohesive units. When you're out in the field, you have to trust that your comrade will have your back. And while Quintus never entirely trusts anyone, he'd rather have someone in Tom's place that he can place some faith in.
