"Right..." he said. "How do I avoid that?"

Anthony thought hard, for a moment. "Well, I usually only rob people during nighttime. Bit harder to find targets, but more worth it, usually," he paused. "and, uh—cover your face whenever you do it. With a scarf or something. Can't let the folks know what you look like. When the guy you're stealing from runs away or calls for help, then just let him go and leave him, don't go after him. It's not worth it. Don't fight with a target who's fighting back unless you're very sure you'll win."

That was all that came to Anthony's mind, at that moment. But it seemed like enough for right now, at least.

Noah nodded and made a mental note of all those things. He had lost his scarf so he would have to steal it from one of his siblings. "Okay. Thank you...." he said, still a bit lost on why the man was helping him, but hey. At least he hadn't died.

"You're welcome, really," he nodded. "if you ever need to ask anything else or just need to seek me out for any other reason...my name's Anthony Rowe." Perhaps giving his name to this kid wasn't the best course of action, but what was the worst that could happen?

"Oh... okay..." That was surprising. "I'm Noah Longbottom. I won't be in town long, but I'll definitely come find you if I need more advice." Because - hey, someone didn't hate him, so why not exploit that?

Anthony was curious about 'him not being in town for long', but didn't speak of it. Kid had his reasons, probably. "Don't be afraid to come to me, then, Noah," he flashed a very brief smile. "I won't bite." But he might cause you to piss yourself, as he recently discovered. 
"But—yeah. Be safe, don't hurt yourself, prey on the vulnerable, take care of yourself." You know, the usual.

Noah nodded. "Thanks... where do I find ye?"

A question that Anthony himself barely knows the answer to. "Usually hanging out in the bars around here," he gestured to show that he did literally mean around this place they were, not Whitby in general. "If I'm not, I'm sure if you ask about me, though, someone will point you in the right direction." They absolutely will not.

"Alright..." he said. "Thank you, Mr. Rowe."

"You're very welcome, Noah," Anthony said. "see you around, hopefully." If he doesn't leave town like he said he would, at least.
