Anthony wasn't returning to him? Ever? So that was it.. He couldn't even have the decency to come up to him and break up face to face. He felt a few tears in his eyes, even if the other man had been exhausting to deal with he had hoped it was temporary. "T-that's ridiculous. I help those in need and always will. " He managed to take a deep breath and try to compose himself to make the tea. "I am sorry about that. He rather.. likes to exaggerate some time. Though we did get into quite an argument last time I saw him. I guess if he decided he couldn't come back, that's his choice."
