[The only lament Arthur would have for blood would be for his suit, which says more about Arthur than maybe anything else but fortunately no one here is a mindreader, well not out of the two of them anyway. When he ends up noticing the noise has gone down is when he realizes they're in one of the small rooms, but he knows he should have noticed in reverse order, which is annoying - maybe also troublesome.
But he sits as half directed, choosing to lean forward with his elbows on his knees and his forehead pressed to the fold of his hands. Like this, if he stares long and hard enough at the floor between his feet, everything stops moving on its own.
It takes him too long again, the whole noticing thing, in this case to realize White hasn't left. Twenty questions? He'd rather not, knows if he slipped out they'd find someone else easily to take his remaining hours. ]
You can go, you know.
[His voice is strange even to him, not well, but it's audible enough. Besides, what's the point in inquiry? Lost on him. He closes his eyes, and shivers because the warm-to-cold flux has kicked in again too, which just re-instills the obvious - he really needs to get out of here.
Though it's true the apartment isn't that much more appealing - other occupants considered, not to mention distance.]
