Arthur nodded, knowing that Eames had a tendency to try all sorts of things when bored (some of which had led him to getting swatted at like a bad dog by Arthur when they were together - the other man just didn't know when to stop back then and then had the gaul to look like a kicked puppy when Arthur had given him fair warning multiple times; it had usually led to Arthur apologizing and letting Eames "cuddle" him - a word that Arthur couldn't say and cringed openly when he heard it). It was so strange that Arthur was remembering all of these things now while in the same room with Eames but...

"Well, he's also under the misimpression that you can't spell." Which Arthur knew was also a ruse - Eames was much smarter than he would let on, so he couldn't help but smirk a little at the other man, his look saying along the lines 'really? that's the best you could do?'
