Anthony raised his eyebrows briefly in surprise. 'Okay, let's go then,' he suggested, turning to lead Darden to a restaurant.

Darden smiled and followed close behind, not wanting to get lost.

Anthony lead Darden for a few blocks, catching several strange looks from people before they arrived at a small cafe. He let Darden go in first before picking a table and sitting down.

Darden sat down at the same table, looking around at everything in wonderment.

Anthony silently observed Darden, noting his amazement at all things around him. Maybe he really had been raised in the woods.
'So... why don't you tell me about yourself?' he asked. He was hoping having a little more information would facilitate his attempts to figure out what to do with him.

"well... I've lived in the forest all my life, and over time I learned how to live there, and I just wandered around alot, racing other animals, and I helped take care of it... protected it..."

Anthony decided it was probably best to just humor Darden for the moment. 'So... did anyone know you lived there?'

"no, no one outside the forest knew I was there... I mean, it's possible my mother knew... but she would probably think I was dead."

"And... how long did you say you lived there?"

"all my life..." he nodded.

Anthony fell silent, unsure of how to continue. Luckily it was at that moment that their menus arrived. He distracted himself with that, pondering how odd his life had become in such a short amount of time.

Darden took a menu and looked it over, flipping pages and reading what he could, not the best at reading though the elders had tried to teach him when they had time, then setting it down.
"what is that?"

Anthony looked up from his menu. 'What is what?' he asked.

"this thing." he held up the menu.

Anthony quickly explained the menu, feeling a little foolish. He still wondered if he wasn't being pranked by someone as his somewhat gullible nature wasn't a very well-kept secret. Luckily, Anthony had chosen a small, casual cafe so there weren't many choices to confuse Darden. After some deliberation on said forest-boy's part they ordered their food and ate a quick meal. As reluctant as he was to do so Anthony decided his only choice was to take Darden back to his apartment and let him stay there, at least until he could think of something better to do with him. With that consideration no longer in mind Anthony paid and dragged Darden out before he could start asking questions about money and the like.
