Was it disrespectful to piss against a church? Noah reflected as he emptied his bladder in the narrow alley beside one of the many chapels. Not that he cared. This was the one they married Alice in, wasn't it? Here was what he thought of it. Plus, you never knew when you might want to try and rob someone, and Noah knew from experience that it was better to do that with an empty bladder. All very good reasons to be in a dark alley tonight watering the church.
He jumped when he hear footsteps though, and in the movement accidentally peed on his shoe.
DAMNIT!

Anthony didn't really make a habit of going near churches, but he might as well start doing that now. He had basically stopped caring about his distaste for churches and organized religion in general, like he had stopped caring for a lot of things. It was that exact same apathy that had brought him here tonight.
...Though he had hoped to not see anyone piss against a church tonight, he would be lying if he said he was particularly surprised. Anthony considered the pros and cons of every possible decision he could take right now. On one hand, it was disgusting to just stand around, but on the other, who wants to interrupt someone taking a piss. As it was dark and he couldn't recognize whoever the stranger was if he tried, he lacked bias, and just went with what was the best decision in this situation.
"Hey, dipshit," he called out, knocking against the wall to alert the other of his presence. Eloquent.

Oh shit. The guy was not amused. Noah quickly put his business away. "Sorry..." he muttered. There was that annoying feeling of being not quite done, but he'd have to keep it in for now. No pissing people off in dark alleys.
Now that he properly looked at the man - or rather, his outline against the street lighting in the main street, he realized that he was very short. "Hey, you're knife guy.... Mr..... Rolls, aren't you?"

It was right as soon as the guy opened his mouth that Anthony realized exactly who he was. Oh, so it wasn't just a dipshit, it was the dipshit. The realization made this situation all the more worse for him, of course.
"The knife guy," he repeated, just because that specific phrase irritated him so much. "sure. Sure. I'm the knife guy." Though it annoyed him, Anthony didn't bother correcting him on what his name actually was. It was better if he didn't remember.

Noah should probably have noticed that Anthony sounded annoyed. But tact had never really been his strongest side. "What were you gettin' drunk with the constable over, the other day?" he asked. Definitely not his strongest side.

Anthony rolled his eyes to the back of his head, almost. Would it be bad if he stabbed a teenager? Not even kill, but just stab a little bit? He chose to wait before deciding. "Wouldn't you like to know," he laughed. Noah reminding him of that event was not exactly the best thing that had happened to them, as now Anthony had an actual reason to be pissed off at him.

"Aye." Noah admitted, unembarrassed. He was totally 'Mr. Rolls' apprentice after all. Hadn't the guy shown him how to hold a knife? "Were ye tryin' to get him drunk so ye could mug 'im? That would 'ave been funny."

Anthony was trying to hold onto his sanity as best as he could, but Noah was making that difficult for him. "Why do you want to know?" he asked, tilting his head in a mock-innocuous way. It's not like he's planning on answering Noah's question anyways, but he might as well just draw this shit out forever.

"Solely for my entertainment. That guy is such an idiot, he'll trusts anyone. I don't know how they made him constable." Actually, he didn't mind. Crane had caught him in an embarrassing act and clearly didn't like him, but another constable might have treated him worse. Still, he was a constable and an idiot and Noah would certainly enjoy watching him become the victim of his own naivity.

Answering the question was a big mistake on Noah's part. Anthony liked Elijah, obviously, and hearing Noah say this shit about him didn't earn him any sympathy from Anthony. "Is that the hill you want to die on?" Tolerating Noah was very difficult, and after this it was near-impossible. Anthony was already in a bad mood, meeting a guy he does not like and then hearing this crap from him did not improve it in the slightest. It had quite the opposite effect. Yet again, Anthony was pondering whether or not stabbing a teenager would be acceptable.
