[ arthur is immensely more grateful for max's assertiveness than he would ever admit, because feelings aren't exactly arthur's strong suit. he can only be so mushy before he feels like he has to backpedal out of being nice entirely. he can't let people know he's actually soft. thankfully, max just barrels on and it's a relief they don't have to discuss this any further. arthur won't forget, but forgiveness is all he asked for. ]
I appreciate your vote of confidence. [ especially since he still doesn't quite believe it himself, this whole growing to be the world's most legendary king business. but as long as things are square between them now, they can just move on. thank god this wasn't as awkward as he thought it would be. ]
[ he shoots max a strange look at the word gayer, because -- well, gay doesn't exactly mean what it does now, so he's not sure why getting gayer would be a bad thing. or an awkward thing? he can't tell. ] What do you mean by gayer? [ he has a feeling it doesn't mean happy. ]
