( It's true, there's something.... missing in Ange's demeanour, something that's a little more cool to the touch than even the girl's usual feeling. (Again, the word inhuman flutters around in him). But he's mostly chalking this up to her being so in her magic right now — she certainly doesn't look like a typical human anymore; it makes sense that her behaviour would change, too. So while concern is there, it's not at a level where he necessarily thinks anything is wrong in a way that should be... changed.
He's offering a soft smile at the words. )
You too, Ange. I'm really glad I have you.
( But there's a pause, a frown easing in at that next part. Peter's quiet for a few moments, thinking about it. )
I think a lot of people just don't.... understand. Maybe some people are fine fighting all the time, dealing with it... or maybe they don't see the Pthumerians as such a threat. But.... ( He swallows, looks back up at Ange. )
...they are a threat. That whole world is.... horrible. You're trying to protect people, made a whole safe space because of what you are and what you can do.
( He's never forgotten what Ange told him, the first time they met in person at Ruby's birthday party. How she'd never asked for or really wanted her witch powers, but decided that she might as well use them to help people. And that's exactly what she's doing here. )
You're doing a really good thing..... Thank you for this.
