Seeing the other in person is definitely a little intimidating — Shen Yuan looks so noble and cool, but it's also weirdly easy to feel comfortable around the guy, with how.... gentle he is, about everything? How he somehow seems to know exactly what to say, and how. Peter's heart is still giving anxious flip-flops, but he's glad to have made contact with somebody who knows about this kind of thing. Makes it all feel less... lonely.

He doesn't even hesitate as long as he normally might, to take the offered hand. Peter gets gunshy about physical touch — for, a number of reasons — but he's reaching to shake the other man's hand, softly.

"Sure, that sounds great, yeah." There's a nod, and an inward exhale of relief to take things slow. As curious as Peter is to see what Shen Yuan might discover, he's also... not exactly leaping to head into one of the Sanctuary rooms.

So he'll move to sit under the tree, long legs folded crossed. Peter's a tall presence but he carries himself as though he wants to be smaller, all six feet of his frame withdrawn.

"Thank you, again. For agreeing to do this. I... brought a notebook so I could take notes, too. Share stuff with Luna." He gives a lopsided little smile, reaching for his bag where he has a few supplies tucked in.
