The room hung heavy with the weight of Arthur's silent revelation, the silence stretching on for a solid minute.
Then, Jamie broke the silence with a sharp clap of his hands, the sound cutting through the tension like a knife.
His expression softened into a disarming smile, and he leaned back in his chair, effortlessly steering the conversation in a new direction.
"Well, that was quite the revelation, wasn't it?"
"No shit!"
Evan exclaimed and Jamie laughed aloud before turning to Arthur, calling out to the godslayer whose expression showed he clearly had more to say.
"Arthur, you shouldn't poke into people's secrets so much. Not everyone appreciates their stuff being laid bare like that."
Jamie spoke with a tone that was a mix of amusement and mild reprimand, but Arthur only leaned back with a small, unapologetic smirk playing on his lips.
"I couldn't help it, you know? The whole thing was just begging for a reveal."
