I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the possibility of John slowly picking up Arthur’s accent from talking to him so often. It starts subtle with him referring to every day objects by their British name rather than the American one just because that’s what Arthur calls them. Then he starts reading more and occasionally asks Arthur for the pronunciation of certain words he doesn’t necessarily recognize written out and keeping the way that Arthur says it. Then he begins writing and similarly finds himself asking how to spell words he’s never seen before and receiving the British spelling because that’s just how Arthur knows them. And it appears more and more until he develops an accent that isn’t quite British but also distinctly is not the one he started out with and he never notices. Arthur picks up on it pretty early but he just doesn’t comment because he thinks it’s kind of cute and he worries if he draws attention to it then John will stop
