( Peter's watching as Ange moves closer, mouth parting gently as he realises what she's doing — slow and gentle, reaching out for him. There's a soft exhale, and his arms move around the girl in return, not only accepting the hug but returning it. And any little lingering nerves about the current state of Ange aren't really present anymore for those few moments, no, she's just his friend, and he feels safe and comfortable here with her.
It's clearly important to her that people get it, that they understand, and Peter can definitely understand why it would be frustrating and even hurtful for them not to. She's trying to protect people, she's using her own magic, clearly using a lot of it.... to offer a safe space away from the source of so much uncertainty, horror, pain.... He doesn't see this as running away, but as being smart. Being safe.
Which is why her words fill him not only with warmth, but relief. Having been afraid for so long, and those fears growing and reaching deeper and deeper lately.... what Ange says means a great deal to Peter. He's quiet for a few long moments as it sinks in and the boy feels the weight of it, the importance. Gently, but securely, he's giving his friend a warm squeeze. )
And I promise I'll do whatever I can to support you.
( In whatever ways he could — whether it's as a friend to talk to here in her golden land, or trying to talk to others to help them understand.... Small ways, human ones that maybe don't help as much as some things, but it goes without saying that Paimon would help Ange out too, on that supernatural level if she needed any support from the demon.
After a few moments, Peter's pulling back just enough so that he can look at his golden-eyed friend, smiling down at her. )
After tea, will you show me around?
( Given he plans on hopefully bringing Luna here to stay for a while, it'd be nice to see what everything's like. )
