I'm restraining myself from a joke about Bush threading the needle or whatever. XD
Oh man, I would combust of love if you wrote this in some way. I don't have the book knowledge that you do, for starters. Maybe it could be cut down to scenes, with line breaks. But anyway:
Archie is very observant in M/R (I've been watching clips; Archie is just Bush's type, you know, pretty and saucy.) Horatio is mainly going for denial, trying to act as though everything is situation normal rather than situation crazypants. Archie doesn't have the (need for/stomach for) denial so he gets a handle on things straight away. So there's the possibility that he would pick up on Horatio's special new personality given enough time and exposure to just being around him. Maybe hearing out some of his plans, MAYBE Archie encourages Horatio to be more talkative, just because they had that openness when they were younger.
But there would have to be something like a shared mission where they could meet and discuss things and Archie could see how things go on board Horatio and Bush's ship. It would be equally interesting to see how Bush saw all this, and how his own behaviour would give Archie clues. Ooh or Archie could be getting passage.
