"I'm incredibly brilliant, where have you been for the past twelve years?" Anthony stated, more as a rhetorical reply than anything else. It was incredibly easy for Anthony to be the one healing a hand and passing judgment on how the injury came to be because Anthony's life didn't leave him open to very many situations with people like Michael's with Lavender. It was a blessing. A blessing that no one really understood was a blessing, but that was all right with Anthony.
Anthony only smirked a bit then, not responding to the claim of being mentally bruised as he silently worked to repair Michael's hand to top shape. Personally, he thought he could have said much worse.
"The better alternative, yeah? Better in what way, exactly?" Anthony had a very feeling that he was going to regret asking the question, but it wasn't his fault that the logic hadn't added up, was it? It was Michael's, for putting that statement in a way that required clarification, right? Right.
