The librarian nodded when she thanked him, smiling. He walked for a moment in silence, hand resting lightly on her arm, before he looked up and noticed they were nearly at his apartment building. It wasn't the best area in town, but he didn't see the point of renting some place big, or some nicer than he really needed. His place suited his purposes, and that was enough.
Anyway, he spent most of his time at the library.
"No, that's okay. I think I've made you talk long enough, your throat is probably tired at this point, huh?" He smiled, moving his arm from her shoulder and stopping in front of his building. "This is me, anyway. Thanks for, ah, being my bodyguard for the walk." He blushed slightly, his manly pride a bit deflated for having someone who looked very much like a young girl in a costume walk him home. But he knew it was a bit more complicated than that, at least, so he wasn't too upset.
"I suppose I'll let you off the hook now. Do you still have to go out and look for more monsters?" He inwardly chided himself. That was another question, and he was supposed to be letting her get back to her duties. "Sorry. Alright, I guess I'll head in... if you're ever around the library..." He smiled, knowing she said she would be. "If you ever need help, you can always trust me."
He did owe her his life, after all. That wasn't something he took lightly.
"Stay safe, Sailor Virgo, okay?"

"A little," she admitted, looking up at the apartment building. "I like to talk, though, my brother is always telling me to quiet down so he can sleep. Unless it's not sleep time, then he lets me talk." Virgo looked up at Anthony, nodded firmly.
She looked up and down the street, the impression given that she was seeking out any sort of threat to Anthony's slightly shabby apartment building. "I will remember," she said, lifting her hands to make a shape roughly like a heart. It was slightly mutated by the brace, but the point got across. "Yes, I still should be out for a couple hours..."
With another nod, she steeled herself and then (gently!!) hugged him. "You be careful, too." The bluenette linked her hands behind her back, bright red again. She wasn't going to leave until she saw him get safely into the building. Some youma were really fast, and all.

Chuckling when she said she liked to talk, he nodded, glad to hear it. If they ever met again, he would have more questions for her. He had to do some research now. Hit the internet, and dig through the Periodical archives for news reports and any documents on these happenings. Usually he glanced at the paper in the morning, with his coffee, but now he might actually start paying attention to it.
He got a little sad at seeing her brace again, but it was forgotten when she hugged him. He patted her back softly, then nodded and offered her a smile that was slightly affected by his hesitation to let her get back to her duty. Still feeling protective, he was worried she would get hurt again. What if that tiger had more tiger friends? Or those Negaverse people were angry for it being killed? Of course, he did not know all the details there, so he was missing a few facts about how it worked. Still, he would be worried about her all night now, as if she were his daughter out too late.
"Good night, Sailor Virgo," he said pleasantly, knowing if he hung around he would just keep telling her to be careful.
He moved to his door and fumbled with his key, used to using his left hand to unlock the door. He managed without dropping it, pushing the door open and glancing back at her, waving as he leaned on the door with his shoulder to keep it open. Then he reluctantly moved inside, the heavy door shutting with a loud clang.
Paused in the doorway, he looked down at his feet, a weight on his shoulders. He shook it off as best he could, telling himself she was well prepared for her job and that she would be fine, then went up the stairs toward his apartment.
