Arthur, for his own part, wasn't feeling much better than the Rookie. He didn't need a mirror to know he looked haggard. The coughing and pain in his chest made it difficult to sleep, regardless of the state of his psyche with Mal and attempting to determine whether or not this was a dream state. More and more, though, he was convinced that - despite his totem - it was. It had to be. Mermaids didn't exist, and you don't get turned into one while breathing at the bottom of the ocean. Damn. He didn't know whose design the dream was, but it was wrong.It'd end, once and for all. He knew he couldn't possibly be wrong about this. And he figured, with Eames' sudden disappearance - the forger had likely already gotten out. Mal - or his projection of Mal - was right in this, at least. He wasn't sure how he felt about that thought ( ... )

The Rookie stood when Arthur approached, still a little dizzy from his not-really-nap. He couldn't help it - he wasn't used to sleeping at normal times, and with danger threatening here at any second, he tried to get his sleep where he could. But with his eyes mostly open, he had seen Arthur coming, and now offered him a nod as a greeting.

He picked up the gun while he stood up, and then gestured at Arthur with his free hand, halfway shrugging, indicating a question.

Arthur frowned, briefly, at him. Then again, with the illness going around, maybe he had just lost his voice. "I'm Arthur," he greeted, voice hoarse as he held in a cough. "We spoke earlier." His gaze shifted to the targets Rookie had put together, eyebrows raising briefly.

The man was ill, like him, and that disturbed the Rookie a little. He didn't like how suddenly this had come, and how quickly it was apparently spreading. With the technology they possessed back home, also in the medical field, this wouldn't have been dangerous in the least - here, on this unknown planet, he couldn't foretell anything about how the illness would progress, if it even was the one people seemed to suspect. Chances were, their immune systems were not at all prepared for this ( ... )
