Where do we go from here? - for ingeniously  
The job was done.

Inception was done and fuck -- from what he could tell, it had gone successfully.

So far.

Cobb had gone through customs with not so much as a blink and left with his father-in-law to his kids. Fischer Jr had left a little after that and Ariadne was heading back to Paris to return to her classes and studies. Arthur loaded the PASIV onto his luggage cart and looked around, spotting Eames standing near a pillar.

Throughout the planning stages of the job, they had been snarky, condescending (to a certain degree), and on just this side of antagonistic. It was after he found out that there was a very real possibility that they could be shot down to limbo that Arthur mentally backtracked for a split second and thought about Eames -- thought about that night and thought about what they haven't discussed yet. When Eames called him 'darling' down in the first level in what he was sure was a condescending manner, Arthur found himself wanting to say something. But, he didn't. Eames was striding away after he took his shot.

When they were on the second level and everyone was hooking themselves in, who he should have helped was Ariadne but Arthur found himself kneeling down next to Eames and helping him with his lead, giving him a quirk of his lips. Everything could be shot to hell in a matter of seconds/minutes/hours and he could feel himself wanting that lasting touch, just in case.

They couldn't risk talking in public no matter if Robert and Cobb had gone, still -- he felt ready to talk to the other man about what happened months ago. About where this left them -- if it left them anywhere.

Eames had mated with him. Well...to be fair, his wolf had mated with him and that meant something according to his research. Something that couldn't exactly be ignored. As he made his way out of the airport with his luggage, Arthur pulled out his phone and sent a quick text to Eames.

If you're not heading anywhere quick, meet me at the Renaissance hotel nearby? We can talk.

There's a job... - for ingeniously  
Mombasa wasn't exactly Arthur's sort of place. He enjoyed the cooler climates more than the warmer but he was only here to hire Eames for a job that he, Cobb and Nash were taking in two weeks. With any luck, he would agree and Arthur would be on the first flight back out that night or by morning.

It took some searching and some asking around but Arthur managed to pinpoint a location where the forger was staying and made his way there. He held his jacket over his arm when he arrived at Eames' flat and looked around the area closely, making sure he hadn't been followed before he knocked on the door. He hoped the man was home or he'd just have to wait.

He hoped Eames would take the job -- at least he knew the forger would get his shit done.
