Now that Anatoly was over his initial moment of anxiety, he could properly take in the situation. Perhaps Freddie was fine but he was unconvinced that Prior was just pretending. He looked tired, exhausted - there was something in his demeanor that reminded him of Roger during some of his bad days.
He also noticed how tender, protective Freddie was of Prior and that was something he knew he could never comment on without it ending up in a fight. He had never seen him this gentle with anyone, especially not Florence and yet... here he was. Anatoly would have sworn up and down that such a thing out of him was impossible but he couldn't deny the evidence of his eyes.
"I don't want to impose," he said awkwardly. "I only wanted to make sure everything was all right. I could - could I get you two anything?"
