Arthur | Inception | Open

[point_forgotten]

I want to. [He says this with a nod.]

2 - 5

[chesstotem]

[Somehow, she gets to Arthur's hotel, and almost before she knows it, she's standing outside the door to his suite.

She thinks about the last time she was here, about how mad she'd gotten. She'd stormed out, angry at even the suggestion that she only wanted him for who he'd been, not who he is now.

She knocks on the door, a little softer than she normally would. It's time to make things right.]

[point_forgotten]

[Arthur’s still angry-no, he’s more upset than anything. He feels naïve and stupid too.

When he hears the knock on the door, he knows it’s her and while he’d love just leaving her there, he can’t so he gets up from the couch and goes to open it.]

[chesstotem]

[She looks wary when the door opens.] Hi.

Can... Can I come in?

[point_forgotten]

Yeah, sure. [He steps aside to let her in before closing the door behind her.]

[chesstotem]

I'm sorry. [She's not proud. Not about this. The last thing she wants is to push him away.] Please forgive me.

[point_forgotten]

[He stays silent for a few seconds before speaking.] Do you know how hard it is?

[chesstotem]

[She bites her lip, and shakes her head.] What is?

[point_forgotten]

Being around people who know you, but you don’t know them.

[chesstotem]

I'm sorry. [She reaches out, wants to touch him, but then realizes he might not want her to.] I want you to know me. I'll tell you anything. Show you anything. Anything you want to know.

If you want to know.

[point_forgotten]

Of course I want to know, but-but what if it doesn’t work? What if I stay like this forever?

[chesstotem]

It's not even that. I just... I want you to get to know me, the way people get to know each other.

The way a man gets to know a woman, when they date.

We can work on the other stuff, too, if you want. But we don't always have to do that. Can we also, sometimes, just be... two people, a man and a woman, going out together? I would like that, Arthur. I enjoy your company. [Tentatively, she reaches for his hand.]

[point_forgotten]

You want to date?

[chesstotem]

Y - Yes. [She hesitates a little, ducks her head down, because the tone of his question was just so incredulous.

Like the thought of it has never crossed his mind. As though the thought of her that way made him incredulous. The old Arthur - the one who wore expensive suits and smiled much more rarely than this one, the one she'd been half in love with - she'd never worked up the courage to ask him out, because why would he want to go out with the likes of her?

But maybe this one felt the same way. She flushed with shame.]

[point_forgotten]

[He doesn’t know what exactly to say to that. He’s attracted to her, that’s for sure, but does he want to date someone? Especially in his condition?]

I don’t think that would be a good idea right now, Ariadne.
