Anthony's heart had either stopped beating or was beating a hundred times in a second, there was no in-between. He felt like a deer in headlights, frozen in place but also ready to run for it if necessary. It...didn't seem like that would be necessary, though.

Anthony had basically forgotten how to breathe when Elijah spoke. He was almost certain that he was blushing, but he couldn't check and didn't want to anyways. Though maybe he would've felt...relieved, perhaps? about this right now he was just way too nervous and in shock to feel any of that relief. After a bit of time, Anthony looked at Elijah, stunned into silence and not saying anything, but... At this point he just figured this was a fucked up dream and he didn't know if he wanted to wake up, really.
