"No, no," Arthur says, gesturing aggressively. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way, I'm--"

He cracks a smile and even huffs a laugh, which is probably not appropriate given what he's just said, but he can't help himself. "I'm sorry," he says, "I'm ridiculously drunk right now. I like it, I really do. It's just hard to imagine something like this being given without some ulterior motive." His tone is hardly suspicious. It's more like an admission, an explanation. It's true Arthur doesn't feel that they're close enough to warrant a gift this nice, but he's certainly not about to give it back and he would like to know of there are any motives behind it. He's just not being too subtle about it at the moment.
