He thought for a moment, he needed to make a solid answer. There was no reason to lie to him, he had no personal grudge or means to hurt him. Only if Anthos had the intention of hurting him first, "there is no reason to lie to you. So long as you mean me no harm."
He held his hand out and smiled warmly, he wasn't all too sure why he was being so nice to this Turk. He did know him way back when, and to be honest, he himself felt lonely and forlorn as well. Perhaps the two could get better acquainted, then at least he would have someone to talk to now and then. "take my hand, I will help you up. Maybe go somewhere a little more quiet and less unnerving?"
He had hoped he didn't take that the wrong way, but if he did it would prove to be interesting to see the outcome. Awkward moments did amuse him when there was nothing to do... Gaia had become so boring lately.
