( More and more, the idea is sinking into Peter, and.... it's so easy for it to. It's not that he's completely oblivious to the fact things are a little strange here, but.... he trusts Ange, and her magic. No matter how much the idea of magic still freaks him out at the core, that fact remains that he trusts the girl.

And.... maybe he's a little desperate, too. Up under everything. Desperate to feel safe, in this world that's so unsafe. In this place where danger and loss and heartache and pain keep being a factor, time and time again. It wasn't so long ago that Luna was subjected to being trapped in a nightmare world tailored to her custom fears and torments. Her traumas. She'd been so.... so scared. It isn't often that Peter sees the girl like that, and he hasn't been able to stop thinking about it.

If he could protect Luna by staying here with Ange and Ruby for awhile...? Relief is blossoming in his features, although he's quickly looking up to nod at Ange's next words. )

No, I— I totally understand. If there's anyone else I think of, I could ask you first. If it'd be okay to bring them here.

( But there's a thought, a concern. He knows magic isn't something that just can happen without power, energy.... Given how Ange looks right now, it's clear that her magic is in full-force, but what if that can't last? )

Are you going to be okay, though? Using all this power to maintain something like this... it won't hurt you?
