Anthony glanced away from Elijah, feeling rather...self-conscious now that he's admitted one of his faults. Most people tended to think he's a moron after they find that he's illiterate, and as he doesn't particularly like being thought of as an idiot, he's just tried to avoid admitting it if he so can. There was the rising panic of Elijah thinking less of him now that he said it. But that panic quickly subsided, of course. "Yeah, I don't want to waste your time with this," Anthony shrugged. He knew that the response would be something along the lines of Elijah saying that he's not wasting his time or whatever, but the fear of being a bother was already so ingrained into Anthony's mind that it was difficult to ignore it.
