Minor update; the friend in question did indeed find my brother, last night. He approached him and asked if I was about, to which my brother responded that he didn't know where I was, he didn't hang about to chat about anything else, so they still don't have my brothers testimony, curses! Him not wanting to chat isn't unexpected though, since last time I saw him he told me he didn't like my brother because apparently he said something prejudiced to him, I am pretty sure that is a load of bollocks because I was there at the time and remember no such comments being made.
I don't know what to make of this, since I've never known him to enter this particular pub unless I've invited him, which implies he was seeking me out, whether this is because he just wants to talk it out I am not sure, since he apparently didn't come across as aggressive, but if he wanted to do that, he has my number. On the other hand, if he is seeking me out so he can ring his old man and tell him where I am, then that's the worst idea in the history of the world, because I never go out drinking alone and my friends are incredibly over-protective of me, which while I think it speaks volumes about my character, I will literally be the only thing that stands between them and a trip to the hospital if they try to threaten me, if they try and justify it by telling my mates what they think happened they'll just get laughed at, these people have, in one or two cases, known me since I was born. Add in my brother actually finding the woman on the sofa and they won't have a leg to stand on.
Still doesn't feel right though. Is this the kind of anxiety Robb Stark felt while entering the Twins?
