"Yes, we're safe," he said to Ariadne and then he looked over at Viv. "We'll take the room on the first floor." When he said that, Vivienne's face fell slightly. Anyone who didn't know her like he did wouldn't have seen it.

"Alright. I'd offer you my clothes, Ariadne, but I'm sure you'd drown in them," she said politely with a small smile. Arthur lifted her up in his arms just as he did before. "The door's on the right when you exit the kitchen." Arthur nodded and walked to the door, but Viv placed a hand on his arm. "Mind if I talk to you later?" He nodded and then walked away.

They entered the bedroom and he immediately walked over to the bed. Placing her gently on the comforter, he sat on the edge by her side.
