Arthur was very confused at the moment. Alfred had rarely called him by anything but Artie. He did the math and figured it was around 10 PM where Alfred lived. Maybe he would talk on the phone?

Arthur went to Alfred's name and clicked the call button.

/Riiiiiiing/ /Riii-

"Hello?" He heard Alfred say.
