[Arthur feels his stomach drop and his expression hardens just a litttle as he searches Eames' face to look for... regret? Apprehension? He doesn't know what he's looking for he just wishes he could know exactly how Eames is feeling right now.]
[He almost asks if Eames is sure but he stops himself - Eames has clearly been thinking about this and he's had a few years to do so so it's not really Arthur's place to ask if he's sure. On the other hand there's no way for him to understand what exactly he's getting himself into. There are things that Arthur aches to feel again sometimes and he wishes he could have warned himself, could have told himself to just spend one more day in the sun meditating on his own beating heart. Maybe that would have just made it harder. Maybe that would make it harder for Eames if he said all of those things he's thought about going back and saying to himself. Maybe all of this was a mistake from the very beginning and Arthur has to put a stop to it if he can, but then again maybe Eames is an adult who is capable of making this decision and Arthur should just be glad that he wants to join him in eternity.]
[God, it's a lot. Arthur realizes he's been quiet, staring at the floor for a while now. He licks his lips and looks up at Eames.]
