( The younger's smile may be a subtle thing, but Peter sees it all the same. As oblivious as he may be to... a lot of things, there's a sensitivity there to the small things, too. Tiny gestures of kindness, or encouragement. Peter doesn't miss those things.

It does help. And later he'll be quietly stunned by himself for going from "I'll wait over here, stay out of the way, watch" to doing this, which is standing near a ghost and speaking to them, and.... wanting to help. Because he does, he realises, as Mob asks the spirit if he needs anything and that wisp of a reply comes. Warm.

Peter blinks, looking down at Mob with realisation.
) Oh yeah— makes sense, he's— he's cold.

( For a dumb moment Peter considers asking if he should give the spirit his jacket— )

Maybe we can take him inside somewhere? Let him warm up?
