[NO NAMES ON THESE BOXES, BRO. But that's okay because Eames comes back out of the apartment to retrieve a couple of boxes]

[Oh-- it's Arthur] Afternoon.

[nonchalantly picks up a box and takes it inside]

[specifiercity]

[Pauses.]

[Wh--]

[FOLLOWS]

What are you doing here?

[faceforgery]

[Looks around the apartment and raises an eyebrow at Arthur like ADURR WHAT DO YOU THINK?]

Working.

[GOES TO RETRIEVE MORE BOXES]

Really, Arthur, have you always been this slow?

[specifiercity]

[IGNORING THAT COMMENT.]

As a teacher?

[Eames as a teacher is not a good image.]

[faceforgery]

Difficult as it may be to believe, yes.

[specifiercity]

Did you know I was working here?

[Crosses his arms.]

[faceforgery]

It was mentioned.

[goes to get the last box!]

[specifiercity]

[Rubs his forehead.]

You've got to be kidding me.

[faceforgery]

Believe me, I've no intention to make this a permanent stay.

[specifiercity]

Yeah, I wasn't thinking that either.

[Puts his hands on his hips.]

[And just leaves it at that. Vaguely.]

[faceforgery]

So there's no need to get in a huff about me being here.

[looks around the room to locate a seat]

[specifiercity]

I'm not getting in a "huff."

[faceforgery]

Mmhm.

Well, keep it in mind for future reference then.

[specifiercity]

[He clenches his jaw, thinking about leaving.]

[UUGH SO CONFLICTED HE WANTS TO STAY AND TELL EAMES OFF A BIT BUT HE ALSO WANTS TO LEAVE.]

[faceforgery]

[Sighs in Arthur's direction.]

I hear bottling things up is bad for you.

[specifiercity]

[Rrrr takes a moment.]

Teaching? Really?
