[Arthur pokes his head out from his bedroom - yes, this is a two bedroom room, they don't need to share a bed. Arthur kicks.]

Yes?

action;

[pilfered]

I've a client.

[ or at least that's what eames assumes. a text message bearing the words "come to spain" and an address could be a number of things, but eames prefers to remain optimistic.

and travel with a loaded gun. ]

[Arthur comes out of the room; he's wearing not a suit, but there is a sweatervest and a fancy shirt underneath. Very prep.]

Here?

action;

[pilfered]

In Spain.

[ he doesn't offer the address. ]

action;

[specifythepoint]

[He's considering this]

Do you want backup, or do you prefer to do this one on your own?

action;

[pilfered]

How is your arm?

action;

[specifythepoint]

[He stretches it and rolls his shoulders once]

95%.

[pilfered]

[ there's a pause while eames looks at him, weighing the odds. ]

There's a good chance I'll not need the extra help.

action;

[specifythepoint]

[There's an incline of his head]

Will you be taking the train?

action;

[pilfered]

The overnight to Barcelona. If all goes well I should be back by tomorrow night.

[ or sooner, if it went badly. eames could move ridiculously face when he was properly motivated. ]

action;

[specifythepoint]

What does the job look like?

action;

[pilfered]

I wasn't given many details.

[ or...any details at all. ]

I'll find out when I meet the client, won't I?

action;

[specifythepoint]

Take a gun, Eames.

action;

[pilfered]

Come now, darling. As if I'd leave home without it.

[ some people's essentials are wallets and car keys. eames prefers loaded weaponry. ]

action;

[specifythepoint]

You might think it's funny to do just that.

action;

[pilfered]

In another situation, maybe.

[ like that one time in venezuela, but that ended badly so he'll not bring it up as an example. ]

action;

[specifythepoint]

Like Venezuela?

[Arthur is not so kind.]

Call me if you need back up.

action;

[pilfered]

[ arthur stop knowing everything. ]

Isolated incident.

[ lies. ]

Of course. Care for a souvenir? I can find you a tie or something.

[ an atrociously colored tie. ]

action;

[specifythepoint]

[No :|]

It's fine, I was just in Spain. I have registration papers for a gun, in case you get stopped.

action;

[pilfered]

[ but arthur don't you want a paisley-print tie ]

Thank you. If it's an extraction, would you like in?

action;

[specifythepoint]

Yes.

[Pause]

It's my only income right now.

action;

[pilfered]

[ and that brings eames up short. ]

Beg pardon?

action;

[specifythepoint]

Did you mishear me?

action;

[pilfered]

Would you mind clarifying that?

[ oh the implications of that statement. ]

action;

[specifythepoint]

Zatanna doesn't want to speak to me anymore.
