Yeah, I'm starving. [ he admits, not exactly sighing in relief, yet he's glad to catch a break. it's when jughead turns on him, pausing to cast knowing eyes in archie's direction that he knows he's not in the clear. he has a reprieve but it has a time limit. archie nods reluctantly, feeling somewhat like a man walking to find out what form of punishment fits his actions. ] I'll tell you everything, Jug. Everything I know.
[ as much as he wants to leave out a few details, he gets the sinking sensation that isn't an option. ]
