Arthur laughed at the comment regarding the blessing. The man was correct and for whatever reason England was still on his guard. However that laughter stopped once he heard the tale about Illyana mentioning a man to check on the safety of the place. "Well danger and magic do go hand in hand." That much was agreeable at least.
He smiled at the quesstion and shook his head. "I've yet to have a full class, but I do suppose that is to be expected." America's little cherub face flashed in his mind which turned into a sigh at himself. But when the man sat down, England did notice the slight smile which disappeared as quickly as it had shown.
That put a little spring in his step, to know that even here in a strange world he still possessed the ability to make someone smile. That was worth quite a bit in his eyes. He finished the desk he was working on, and then went outside of the room to go dispose of it and thoroughly wash his hands.
When Arthur came back, he put the new bucket of hot soapy water down. "Can I interest you in a cup of tea? I've brought some along with some blueberry scones and cream that I don't mind sharing."

Fortunately he didn't make them.
