Anthony smiled, holding his hand near his mouth as if somehow trying to cover his smile. Alas, it didn't work. "I guess I'm just a bit too used to people considering me a waste of time, then," he admitted. As much as he tried to act all fine and unbothered all the time he's definitely internalized a lot of shit that affects him to this day. Elijah was kind and wonderful and wouldn't consider him a bother, but it was hard to let go of the fear. Anthony focused again on the offer Elijah made him. On one hand, he was tired of being treated like a moron and lesser and also felt that he was missing out on a lot of shit, and on the other he was very impatient with a short attention span and knew that this shit takes time. "I guess I wouldn't be....against it, though. At all."
