"I seem the type, don't I." Said in good humor. Whether or not she's joking-- he knows he does seem so, and is neither embarrassed about it nor offended when someone notices.
Arthur thinks about how people in her broadcast were calling her your grace. He's not an idiot, he understands. But it's at odds with his first impression of her, and he has a hard time imagining her growing up in a palace and coming out of it with instincts like he saw when they met. Then again, what the fuck does he actually know about proper royalty? And what does he know about any other country, culture, world?
"Does everyone that gets taken here have their own utterly mad story," he wonders aloud, instead of telling her anything about the sword. At first. "I hope your fireproof one is completely mundane."
A Joke, Probably. No one finds out they're immune to fire through means that aren't also fire.
Deciding not to hesitate overmuch: "It belonged to King Uther Pendragon." There's a verbal shrug in there. He already told her it's a family heirloom and he doesn't expect she's an idiot, either.
