Arthur had taken a bit bigger role when Lurt was put it seemed. The daring save seemed to give him quite the favorable reputation. And when Kurt saw him at the gate to see who Midas was bringing he felt compelled.
"Arthur, I wanted to thank you for saving my life."
"Don't think too much of it, I don't think you did nothing in there. And really it was a lucky shot."
"I guess that's true," said Kurt, "But still, I thought I was done for real."
"We would have all been dead if it didn't work. I couldn't have taken it head on, no way. I wouldn't have lasted for more than a moment. Luckily that was all I needed in the end, one moment he thought we were all done for and his guard was down, just for that. I only get one shot at that move I'm completely spent after."
"Still."
"I know, but that's the way it happens, you save him, he saves you, you can't keep track when you're on the same side."
"Tell that to the goblins," said Kurt.
"The concept may be beyond them, I'm afraid."
