( There's an immediate breath of relief when Robby comes in so quickly with that, the swell of fresh tension in Peter easing off again. Explaining any of this...... it's weird and new and hard and he barely knows what he's doing or how to do it. But he's finding himself nodding to the other's words — something the demon understands, yeah that's it exactly.

There's a kneejerk pinch of discomfort when Luna's mentioned, just because it's all so... creepy. The demon wanting to please her so much, taking care of Peter's body... it gives him the shudders. But that part's true, too, no matter how uncomfortable it makes Peter to think about. The Luna Factor is a huge part of keeping Paimon in line, as Robby's clearly already seen for himself.

And hearing the other boy voice it, that reminder of what they're dealing with, is a weird relief too. So many people here are so unaffected by the word demon that sometimes Peter feels he's on another planet with seeing Paimon as bizarre. So Robby's statement feels like being seen, in a way he hasn't in a very long time. And as nervous as he was to talk to Robby about it, now things are starting to seem.... not so horrible? Maybe actually kind of nice, at least as nice as something like this can be? The offer to talk to Luna together, the offer to.... deal with it, together. To learn more about it — no, it's definitely not a useless thought. Peter's shaking his head, leaning forward a little where he's sitting. )

No, that's... it'd help. A lot. I uh.... a lot of the time I don't want to bother her. She deals with so much of it already, but... I guess I've kind of still been keeping my head in the sand about it? And that means she's always cleaning up the messes.

( He should talk more with Luna about it. This thing involves them both, and not learning about Paimon or even communicating with him is making things.... harder. Harder than they have to be. )

So I'd like that — if you're really okay with it. ( He gives a little smile, and it's a lot less miserable than he's been this whole time. Peter's never really a hopeful kind of guy, but.... something about all of this does feel better. Nicer. Overspanning everything is the immense relief that it hasn't cost him the friendship of someone he'd really, really like to keep. )

...Better to deal with demons with friends, right? ( He adds the thought with a soft laugh, still a bit tense around the edges but the smile reaches his eyes this time. And he's finally reaching for that sandwich again. Holding it close, about to actually take a bite, but first— )

Thanks, man. For— for everything.

[ Robby does manage to get out a 'Yeah' between the questions of dealing with Paimon, a chuckle more of a breath at 'Better to deal with demons with friends, right?'--like they're some scooby doo gang or some shit, whatever group go out demon-bumping. It's seeing the other guy going for his cheese toastie that makes Robby remark a 'oh yeah, shit' light-heartedly, a reminder of his own forgotten to this point.

But he won't abandon it any longer, sat on his lap, tearing it in half--somewhat sloppily, and the sauce oozing out with the stringy cheese. ]

No problem, man. I'm just glad to see you again? As you. [ He's said it before, but he'll say it again, like a relief for himself to be hearing the Peter he knows; even seeing him in the way he holds himself (which isn't very well). ]

Never thought my calling in life would be to get to know about demons, but if it helps, then yeah. I'm down. [ His voice is brighter, warmer, a playful but firm instruction as he says: ] But that means working on getting you up to shape, too. Maybe we can commit to the weird and creepy life and do some digging around the archives with all its thousand books. You can't be the first guy to deal with housing a demonic presence, sorry to say.

[ As if it'd be something to give a shit about. But if you can't joke about your friend being part of an unlucky group of people, what can you do?

Eat some of your damn toastie, finally. Yeah. ]
