Arthur couldn't help but smile a little then, watching and hearing Eames laugh (feeling that familiar ache return - he had missed hearing that laugh).

But snorted anyway, shaking his head, "I always knew you operated vaguely through spite." Although, they both knew Arthur could be far more spiteful (like that one time Arthur had denied Eames sex for nearly a whole week after he found out Eames had taken pictures of Arthur naked - and sleeping - with his camera phone).
