[ 'for now' is a loaded phrase, peppered with thing among thing among thing. 'For now,' because Cobb's going to get them back and clear his name. 'For now' because Miles might be temporary like everything else is right now. 'For now' is what he uses because he doesn't want to feel more insane than he already is.
Cobb's tired. He imagines Arthur is, too, and his hand dips into his pocket to clasp around the totem. He doesn't spin it, but it gives him some sense of comfort, even if for a fleeting moment.
Arthur unpacks, and Cobb grabs a drink. The two work in silence, comfortable enough around each other, and by the time Arthur's done being meticulous (he finds a soft comfort in that, too), Cobb has a glass of whiskey waiting for him on the table as well. ]
We lay low for a while. Give it a month or two, then look for work.
[ Planning is better than feeling numb. He glances over at his companion. ]
