[ The encouragement is really sweet, but Peter's just.... not the kind of person to really be comfortable doing things that draw attention to himself. And that extends to romantic gestures too, maybe?? He's not sure; he's very new to all of that. He certainly wouldn't be the type of person to bring out a huge bouquet of flowers in the middle of a crowd and brandish them at a girl or something. He's very.... quiet in his affections.

But...... Luna said all those things? About him? The boy's blinking, his cheeks and ears warming all over again. He pretty much knows Luna thinks those things, but.... the fact she said that to someone else? That feels pretty nice, actually. ]

Oh, she uh... she said that? [ There's a pause, and then a soft laugh, at Ruby's fluster. ] Well uh. I'm glad she thinks so. The bird.

[ This bird who definitely isn't named Luna Lovegood. ]

I did make her a mixtape, for Christmas? And I think she really liked it. [ He can't help smiling a little to himself, and maybe it shows in his voice. ] But that was uh, covers of some of my favourite songs I thought she'd like, too. If she likes hearing me play, well..... maybe I should do more of that.

[ A pause, though, as he thinks of something. ]

You don't think it'd be like too.... bold though, do you? I mean... we're not exactly dating? Not technically? I don't want to like, come on too strong, you know?

[ All of a sudden, Ruby is now a Love Guru and he's just going to ask her for her thoughts on that, okay. But playing a girl a song called "And I Love Her"..... What if it's too much??? Never mind that he included the song on his mixtape.... as well as several others that were very romantic. But it feels a bit different if he'd directly.... sing a song about it. A bit more.... intense. ]
