NOTE: I am forever backtag friendly and absolutely open to doing things from past events that won't really have an effect on things at any given time. For example, if you'd like to do something with Peter aged down or when he was his spider dream guide, etc.

<sub>[Silence suits her just fine--it always has, where Peter's concerned. He disappears into his fortress of solitude, and she's allowed the same without that often tedious air of "I'm only being quiet while I figure out how to get you talking" from another person who can't sit still with a lapse in conversation. There were days she used to worry Peter was a little too quiet and would break all her own rules trying to coax him out of it. Today she's glad for the time and the space to think.

He catches her off guard with that completely mundane thought, though. Beyond the people themselves, she'd given more consideration to the state of things she'd left behind in Reston and what she'd been coming back to in Deerington, less the state what they'd be coming back to in town.]</sub>

Shit. _{[There's dawning realization and an attempt at a similar light-heartedness in the word.]} I hadn't even thought of that. I always thought if I got out of here I wouldn't have to worry about coming back...

_{[Clearly that hadn't worked out.]}

If you end up ralphing from the smell, you're cleaning that one up on your own.

_{[But she hears it, that undercurrent of pensive foreboding. Apparently she hasn't been gone so long she's fallen out of tune with him. She turns her head to study him.]}

Are... you sorry to be back?
