[ That is- yes. It gives him hope in a lot of ways. Also- ]

I also don't think he's let anyone be close to him for a long time.

I'm not sure I would if I was in his shoes, either. We were only worried about the King getting to us for a few months, I can't imagine what ten years of him successfully doing that would do to someone's ability to trust anyone at face value.

[Especially when he knows the crisis Charlie has about being the only person left who even remembers it.]

And he trusted me.

[ The biggest leap of all, really.]

[And there's a sudden swell of vicarious pride from Arthur, to hear it.

Obviously he's never going to mention this to Charlie, that would be fucking mortifying, but the glow remains.]

I'm proud of you. For being so patient with him.

He was so happy.

[ And other things, but John's not going into those.]

Watching him be happy felt so good. And he was happy it was me.
