It's not very believable. But Nathaniel can use the words as a temporary placeholder until he can figure out what Arthur wants.
He frowns at the second part, drumming his fingers against his leg. He does like hard evidence. He likes to have anything he could hold onto. And when it's something he doesn't understand, it's even more important. But it's difficult to imagine what could offer such momentous proof. Such events don't come along every day. Still, he'd said he'd try, and he'd meant it. He'll just have to see if there's anything that he can tell Arthur about. Even if just the idea of pulling out an unfinished project makes him twitch a little.
"I'll find something." Perhaps a little more confident than he feels, but sometimes the confidence comes first.
He pauses a moment. Well, if he's going to practice getting better talking about something in progress, he can start by asking a probably simple question instead of trying to look it up alone. "What does it mean to be someone's boyfriend?"
