[ Poe winces. Right. The whole. Y'know. Dead, thing. ]

Sorry. Wasn't thinking.

[itsnotaonesie]

It's okay, man. Don't worry about it.

[He gives Poe a playful nudge with his elbow. IT'S FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE POE.]

[volitaunt]

[ HNNNNNGH. He's giving Peter the look of a worried golden retriever, or more accurately a labrador retriever. Peter's got the golden kind of face. ]

Yeah. [ So convinced, he sounds, but it's not like he's going to forcibly shove Peter into Talking About It right now.

Right?

Right????]

Why don't you want them to know? Your friends? They could probably offer you a lot more homes to go back to.

[NO don't make that FACE, now Peter's really starting to doubt BASICALLY EVERYTHING. I mean, more than he usually does. The jokey-joke "I'm fine" bullshit obviously isn't working, sooo. Peter's just going to stop trying to fake it.

He doesn't brush the questions off like he wants to, but he does hesitate before he answers.]

I don't want to make anyone worry. Everyone's already got enough to deal with just being here, they've already got enough horrible stuff to worry about. I just don't want to add to it, I don't want them to think that I'm not okay.

[He really isn't though, but y'know. Superhero's gotta superhero.]

[volitaunt]

[ He gets it. He does. God knows he keeps things to himself until he can't any more and it just explodes outward in all directions and blasts anyone in the vicinity.

Healthy coping mechanisms are not his forte.

But still. He can recognize unhealthy ones in other people! ]

Well, maybe. Maybe your friends will worry about you either way, y'know? Part of caring about people is wanting to know if they're not all right, isn't it?
