Rising to his feet, he moved over to take the jacket, opening it up. Then he held it open for Silver so he could slip his arms into it, sliding it up his arms to rest it properly on his shoulders. Adjusting it a little and brushing out any wrinkles, he nodded his satisfaction then stepped back again to go get the door for his lover to hold it open for him.
Such a gentleman for someone who lived like a hermit in the woods for the last handful of centuries. No wonder Fabian was also charmed by him. Well, Tobias should be a gentleman if he's going to be in the company of Mrs. Adela Silver (or her son, though Henry's far less demanding about that). It was so nice to be able to treat Tobias intimately once more instead of like his mother's servant.
"Tell me again, my dear, what plans have you for the day?"
He was aware that Silver already knew but that was fine. He didn't mind telling him again. Tobias actually somewhat enjoyed this part of their relationship together. A back and forth that worked well for them. Especially now that his lover was better about doing things to help out. A little anyway.
His face screws up ever so slightly. "Are you quite certain my mother doesn't employ a maid?" He knows very well she doesn't. Why should she when she has eager helpers like Tobias and Maud? Henry heaves a much put upon sigh, but he knows in the end, he'll help... for at least a moment or two.
"Did she leave any instructions on supper or is it up to us to decide?"

That he's being 'dragged along' for.
