It's not the way Arthur words that that makes him immediately jump on that possibility -- it's that being in his presence is like being in a room full of broken clocks. He can sense his power, stronger now than it was the last time he was in a room with him, and it's his only guess. He said his original ability was similar to his and Peter's, after all, and he made a casual threat about having the opportunity to take his own abilities away from him, so he doesn't just borrow. Not like Peter.
