Reaching the other sidewalk, Theo turns left at random. He doesn't have a specific destination; he just walks with the flow of pedestrians while keeping his senses on the follower. He wants to confirm if that young man really is the one tailing him.
He spots the entrance to a shopping arcade on his right, glances that way as if something catches his eye, and suddenly turns in, entering the arcade.
Theo notices the young man also turning in after him. He smirks and keeps walking.
For the next few minutes, Theo keeps turning corners at random, and the young man keeps following, even though there are a few times when he loses Theo. (AN: How do you lose the only white-haired person in the area? Honestly…)
Each time that happens, Theo suddenly reappears within sight, waits long enough for the man to notice him, then walks off again.
This cat-and-mouse game goes on for about five minutes before Theo grows bored. I need to go home. Leila will be worried sick.
