A plate wobbles with a step Arthur takes, and he swiftly reconsiders.
"Actually, friend, I think I could use that hand!" He calls over the short distance, and stops, standing rigidly. Maybe he was starting to push a little too hard, or was getting greedy with what he could carry, but that was neither here nor there.
"Tell ya what, if you could just--- take the one off my elbow, there, n' the one in the middle," He tries to explain, nodding vaguely. Tragically, a man with no free hands and a rigid posture can't do all too much gesturing, but he's doing his best. He gets a good look at who offered to help, though, and can't help a short, disbelieving laugh. "Wait, aren't you one of the fellas off the dock? What're you doin', runnin' around? You should be settlin' in and havin' a bite!"
