Anthony felt...a bit embarrased, perhaps, at not being able to learn this fast (even though no human could learn that fast either, but whatever). Anthony buried his face in Elijah's shoulder to avoid having to look at him ever again, but that hope was short-lived as Elijah spoke again. So instead he just decided to rest his head on his shoulder. A compromise. "I don't know if that would work but you can try, I guess," Anthony said.
