If Leto brought up the fact he'd left a 'hint', Arthur would've argued it was a sledgehammer of obvious (which, really, amounted to a hint when you were dealing with Arthur, most of the time).
He felt humiliated already. Leto pushing that feeling was not working out very well for his self-restraint. "Imagine having to look at that face every morning," he said, still pushing the deferential, and stepping towards what he was now fairly sure was Leto. "Must bring home reminders of all of those boring speeches and ridiculous pranks he likes to pull. Not that I'd want to malign his name to your face, of course, but you know what he's like."
