[A few days ago, Arthur would have fallen for her trick hook, line, and sinker. But he knows now that he can't afford to let his guard down, after another female classmate nearly took his head off in an altercation.
Still, yes, his upbringing prevents him from killing her immediately. Squinting into the sparse light of the cave, he conjures a name for the sad face staring up at him: Mitsuko Souma. Not that he ever talks to her, but Arthur is a very attentive sort, so he generally knows the names of all of his classmates. A frown pulls at his face and he tightens his grip on his knife, still holding it at the ready as he addresses her.] I do hope you have a good explanation for your flagrant theft of my supplies.
[The explanation, of course, is survival, but he wants to see what she'll do. He doesn't want to be the one to kill her if he doesn't have to be.]
