The initial sound Arthur makes in return is just shy of neutral. It ranges into the judgmental territory, because he isn't convinced. Sure, Henry's secondary reasoning makes sense on a surface level. Assassination, he's sure, is not an easy thing to get involved in, let alone get out of.
But, maybe it's just him, he knows there's always a way out. Or rather, where there's a will there's a way. He's just chased Cobb all around the globe to prove that very point– even a wanted man can get his charges erased, get back to his family. The measures will be drastic, but the end result is what matters.
So of course he isn't going to let Henry off the hook that fast.
"No, I'm sure you'd have to put your two weeks in and all." A bite of sarcasm, dry as the desert. "What is it really? Too invested in your work to be home for your daughter? Blackmailed into it? Sign some ridiculous blood pact?"
There's a pause before he keeps pressing on, because he's stubborn as hell.
"You brought her into this world, leaving her behind shouldn't be an option."
