Hey! [Arthur waves at the camera, he's wearing some of his new clothes that are more utilitarian than his usual style (Yes, he keeps blowing his money on clothes. Hush.)] So I have all the preliminary sketches done. If you asked me to draw you something, you should come on over to the Red Fish to see them and tell me if I need to change anything.
I'm also working on a research project with Ms. Carter. If you could answer with some of these preliminary questions I threw together, I'd be most appreciative. Keep in mind that you don't have to answer all of them, especially if they make you uncomfortable, and that these results may be available to anyone on the ship.

We may have some more questions in the future.
[He picks up and fiddles with a pencil, needing to do something with his hands.]
Has anyone here... lost someone close to them? How do you deal with that, especially if you maybe could have stopped them dying, if you had known something was wrong?

What are you researching?
[Then, a small pause as she contemplated the more complicated question, letting out a little sigh.]
As for your other question... Would they have blamed you for their death?
voice
[He doesn't have to pause for this question.] No. Never.

[If she had been brought here, maybe the other wives would be here soon as well, which was both comforting and worrying. They could be put on separate ships where Angharad couldn't protect them, and it might be wishful thinking, but she wanted to believe wherever they were, they were safe.
Angharad was quiet for a few moments, then:]
I would try to live in a way that would honor their memory. I'm sure if they were as close to you as you were to them, that they wouldn't want you to blame yourself.
no subject
[He pauses. That's made him feel better than he would've thought. There's no way Mal would have blamed Arthur.]
That's good advice. Thank you.
