Arthur waa taken aback by how strongly James protested against his suggestion of coming with him. It was another incident that although Arthur tried hard not to think too much of, but it still stung like a bee. And when these beestings accumulated.... Arthur thought one day that little poison might build up to be toxic enough, that he could no longer stand. But now... he could just sigh and nodded. "Alright... alright. If you say so." He forced a smile through even though it appeared bitter. "Whatever you want..." he sighed, keeping up with the smile even though he tried to keep it cheerful at surface.
Arthur again tried not to feel bad. James had been melancholic all the time lately. Arthur had abanoned the thought of attempting to cheer him up, just let him have the time and space to come out of that himself: it's easier for both of them. But he had to admit that affected quite a bit of their relationship, and the their voyages were no longer as perfect as it was...
But then, Arthur wasnt ready to call it quits. He liked James.... a lot. He wanted to try, he wanted to try more to see if they could cross this hurdle. He didnt want to just let go and release James, when he knew deep down what a perfect pair they were. Still.... he couldnt help but notice James just pushing his food around, the fish stabbed and cut, but never quite eaten...
He was prepared the food would go to waste.... but still it wasnt what he'd expected when all of a sudden James stood up and rushed towards the toilet in the cabin. He hurried towards the toilet only to see James threw up and looked very uncomfortable. "James.... are you ok?" He came rush to James' side and patted him on his back. "Shall we disembark tonight?" It looked like James had hidden some symptoms from him - he'd never seen him as sick before, not with his own eyes.
