[ When his forger backs out, Arthur's stuck with locating another one on relatively short notice. It's not an ideal situation but he's also had way less lead time before so he just sets his irritation aside and gets to work on sniffing out another one. Forgers are so changeable in this industry, always coming in and out, occasionally going to ground and disappearing off the map. Normally, he works with Eames because of this, knows he's always up for a forge and that he's dependable.
Unfortunately, the timing doesn't work out. Eames is already knee-deep in a classic heist, planning intricate details and feverishly forging an expensive vase.
So, that brings him here, to a smoky lounge in the upscale part of town. He's got a dry martini sitting on the bar near the back of his hand, primly set on a napkin. His new forger should be meeting him here soon– a man who simply went by "Peter". Eames had recommended him when he'd taken pity on his plight and Arthur hadn't hesitated to reach out. Sometimes it was hit or miss with his recommendations, but they always produced good work.
He takes a sip of his drink, checks his watch, and waits. ]
