[The audio clicks on, but there's some slight hesitation before Arthur speaks. He really does not like opening himself up to possible exposure-- who knows who's listening, after all-- but there's a very important person he wants to speak to, and he's pretty sure he can't just filter this to her.]

...

[No, not gonna outright address her. Arthur clears his through and sounds totally calm and normal.]

It's good to see some of you out again. Sometimes, you don't really realize what somebody brings to this place until they're already gone.

Any former shipmates, be sure to stop by and say hello before you go. [But if you're a stranger, you can GTFO >C]

[OOC: HAVE AT ARTHUR. Restrictions: no post-canon Cobb, no Fischer and no "HEY I SAW YOUR MOVIE, IT IS INCEPTION"/"HELLO JGL" type fourth walling.]

[Hurray! It's Arthur! Mal smiles widely, genuinely glad to see him. She looks good—much like her old, pre-inception self, calm and relaxed and at ease in her skin.]

Hello, Arthur.

[paradoxlol]

[Relief! He's so happy to see some proof that she's alive and well. Arthur smiles.]

Mal. [Slightly amused:] You're looking well.

[cauchemal]

Ariadne said you were still here. [Slightly mixed emotions, though mostly she's glad to see him.] I'm very well. It's been a year for me, here. I'm teaching now.

[paradoxlol]

Yeah, it's been... Let's just say you're lucky to get out when you did.

Teaching? That's great-- which university? [Pause. He wants to ask if Costigan ended up there when he vanished, but decides not to.] We went to Paris... a couple weeks ago. It made me think of you.

[cauchemal]

Antioch. It's lovely here—although after all those years in Los Angeles, I find I'd forgotten what winter can be.

Paris? [A slight sadness in her eyes.] Did you ... was my father there?

Hey, is that the Barge?
