[If the stranger actually grows sick of him and Dorian, then Toby would be proud they'd made it happen. They were having a perfectly peaceful night until the man accosted him. If it weren't for Toby's initial defensiveness, he'd have simply tried to ignore the stranger and his bold accusations. Despite his irritation at this situation, Toby finds himself intrigued and somewhat curious about the stranger and his David.
If there's anything the stranger might catch behind Toby's eyes, it's deadness. Because Toby has been undead over two-hundred sixty years, and had permanently put himself to rest thirty years ago. At least, it seemed like he was completely done for, but Dorian had made a contract to bring back his heart's desire. As such, Toby has returned, but not truly to life. No, he probably would never be alive in that sense, never again.
He doesn't bother commenting on the stranger's words, saves his breath rather than arguing about who David is or what the stranger's relationship is with him. Instead, Toby simply files the information away, not knowing if he'll learn anything more than that. He undoubtedly sees the man's bitterness at some sort of betrayal, but there's more to that relationship than meets the eye. Maybe David is someone like Ivar. But that's hardly any of Toby's business, and he doesn't care so long as the man leaves him and Dorian in peace.
So he takes Dorian's hand and gives it a squeeze before also heading to exit the grocery.]
