[For a moment, Arthur was undecided as to if he wanted to allow Alfred to keep up his ruse. Because, damn it all, he really was concerned for his classmate. The idiot had grown on him, and it pained Arthur to know that only one of them could leave this island alive.
Ultimately, though, there was a part of Arthur that didn't want to deal with this, either. He was too young. He had a whole future ahead of him! And it wasn't fair to ask him to kill people, especially not when, somehow, he'd gotten very attached to one of those people. He almost wished Alfred had been in a different class. They probably wouldn't have gotten to spend as much time together, but at least he wouldn't be stuck here.
So, chasing his own selfish moment of peace, Arthur forced out a miserable laugh. It was one of the rare times he laughed around Alfred at all, which in and of itself was an obvious sign that not all was right in the world of Arthur Kirkland. And despite his efforts at humour, there was a sad edge to his words.] Honestly! What I wouldn't give for a decent cup of tea, myself.
