Eames was affectionate when it came right down to it, and he was never quite sure what to do when Arthur got prickly about it. Of course, half the time he was doing it just to ruffle Arthur's feathers, he'd already made a mental note to do less of that and more of it when it was genuine.
There was another shrug at that statement, his own smile gone crooked, "A lot of people are, no idea where they get such an absurd notion." Well, aside from the fact that he let them think what they like and only rarely corrected people when their assumptions about him were wrong. Granted, if it was something that didn't really matter, a quick note to someone or to himself, sometimes the tenses weren't quite right, but it was because he was fluent in more than just English, and sometimes he got the syntax mixed up if he was in a hurry.
