Also I'm snagging one of your observations about Arthur for the fic I'm working on. I hope you don't mind. It's very on target.
This right here is perfection: Eames is allowed to punch him, though. So when Eames is coming down the hall looking like a pissed off wet cat, wrapped in his own blanket, and Arthur jumps out at him from behind the corner, he fully expects to get punched.
Eames yells in surprise again at the same time that his fist connects with Arthur's mouth. Even as Arthur falls flat on his back, dazed, his lip split, he's still finding it really fucking hilarious.
Because somewhere deep inside, Eames knows he can't punch a ghost. He must have known he was really punching Arthur in the face, because he'd pulled the hell out of that one. If he hadn't, Arthur would be looking into dental work tomorrow, or, alternately, he would be in a coma. Eames could easily have cooled him with one shot.
And damn. This story was amazing as always.
I actually really like the excuse for their nerves and behavior.I don't know exactly what Somnacin is made of, but it's totally plausible that it explodes and makes you hallucinate right? Right? Right.
