Author’s Note: I first posted this piece on Tumblr on 20 July 2011.


“I’ll have you know that I think this is a horrible idea." Arthur glared at Cobb from across the table. "You don’t even know what this new guy looks like, and you’re having us accept an in-dream drop off from him.”

“It was the only way he would go for." Cobb replied bluntly.

It was reckless. Arthur shook his head and stood up. "I’m going for a walk around." When Cobb didn’t respond, he headed out to the hotel lobby.

It was beyond reckless. Even for Cobb, king of reckless stupidity in the face of all rational decisions. Gritting his teeth, Arthur chided himself for being overly critical of his friend.
