[ Arthur is lucky that he knows people here, and he's currently sitting on Ariadne's sofa, the one she's been allowing him to stay on until he gets himself sorted, which he hopes is soon as he hates not being able to take care of his own needs. But he is grateful

Arthur! [ Do you hear the excitement in that girl's voice? Do you, Arthur? ] You're back. Oh my god, where have you been? There's been so much happening and you just vanished.

[elegantinmind]

[ Arthur watches the girl pop onto the screen, and he can only take a guess as to who she is, considering what Eames tipped him off with and how excited she appears to be. ]

Are you Raven?

[lessproud]

Yes --. [ Her expression dims slightly. ] Oh no, not you too? Erik came back and he didn't remember anyone and it was awful, and now you don't either.

[elegantinmind]

[ Erik? This is awkward. But he's a professional, and he waits patiently. ] A friend of mine mentioned you when I arrived, he explained that I was here before. I'm sorry, but I have no memory of it.

[Ariadne walks out of her room in a suit and curls up on the floor with her laptop for the moment. She looks faintly amused.]

Is that how you always generalise your skills?

[elegantinmind]

[ Arthur feels silly with someone in the room to watch him, and he quickly lowers the thing and puts it down to the side, smiling down at her. ]

Sometimes it's better to keep things simple, complicated can get messy. [ He sits up straighter, feels as if he's in the way. ] It is still your couch, you don't have to sit down there.

[Ariadne smiles up at him.]

Relax Arthur, I prefer working on the floor. I only use the cough for soaps.

[This she says with a straight face. Arthur can you really see her watching soaps?]

[elegantinmind]

You watch soaps? [ The question isn't surprised or judging, just interested. If he's going to be living in the same place with her around, he wants to get to know her better.

And then he blinks, huffing a quiet laugh. ] You're kidding, aren't you?

How do you feel about noir?

[elegantinmind]

[ Because he is wary of everyone, ever. ]

Is this a trick question?

[laylaknowsstuff]

No. A trick question would be 'how does the levitating lady trick work' and the answer to that is 'forklift'.

[elegantinmind]

In that case, then, I have nothing against noir.
