"You said you aren't from Whitby, right?" Anthony was not giving up. "You could get lost. Let me walk you to that inn."

"If ye insist..." Tobias said. He still wasn't sure about this guy and he kept getting mixed signals. Tobias walked over to the bar, paid and stepped outside.

Anthony was glad that Tobias wasn't putting up a fight. He stood up and followed him outside. "So where exactly are we heading?"

Tobias mentioned the name of the inn and then started walking in the right direction, because he had in fact been in Whitby quite often.

It was a bit difficult for Anthony to keep up with the man at first, but he eventually managed well enough. He put his hand on Tobias' back, but considering how much taller the other man was, it was a bit..awkward. Anthony was oblivious to that.

Tobias jumped and turned red again. "Will you.... Please, I'm not..." he was feeling very flustered.

Anthony flinched and pulled his hand away from Tobias' back, and just held onto his arm instead. "What? What will I? What are you not?" He was very confused.

He was embarrassed. Why did the man look so confused. Was he imagining things? He probably was. "You startled me..."

"Oh. I'm sorry," Anthony said. He put his hand on Tobias' back, again, because he figured that wasn't the problem, and as such it would be fine for him to do that. Right?

Was this real?! He felt all weird and uncomfortable. "Can you stop that please?"
