OMG, at first I thought the arm-coming-free thing was a writer error (like, Eames came free or whatever), and then Arthur was HOLDING A SEVERED ARM and searching through CORPSE INFESTED WATERS! AHHH! Man are you good with the imagery!
This paragraph is delightful; I love the characterization and comparison: Arthur spoke quietly, with such gentleness as Cobb had never heard in his voice before. Sometimes, in some ways, Arthur reminded him of Mal. When he spoke French, his accent mimicked hers. They had been precise in the same way, sharp in the same way, and they had shared a similar chilliness and distance – which he had always thought went completely through Arthur, the way it had never done with Mal. She'd loved Cobb so completely. The center of her had been warm. He had never suspected the same of Arthur.
Really enjoying the three different POVs. :D
Can't wait to find out what Arthur got up to while Eames was unconscious. Hope you give these poor guys a break; they need some time to recuperate. ;)
