"Is there a problem?"
"Yes, there is a problem," Arthur replied. "The problem is that I have zero desire, interest, or need to prove her claim wrong. She can think whatever the hell she wants, I don't care."

He wanted to return as quickly as possible, intending to do so by teleporting directly into the bedroom where they were, when Altrishia spoke.
"What a fancy display of cowardice."
Hearing this, Arthur turned his gaze toward her.
