( Peter, who has absolutely no social finesse, is impressed, to say the absolute least.

And being invisible means he can watch the show up close and personal, standing just a little bit off to the side so there's no risk of him being bumped into, but it's near enough. (....And he gets to literally be a wallflower, unseen and unheard from and able to watch all he wants. It's kind of a dream.)

But the display is impressive. By the time the man's finished absolutely playing the vendor like a fiddle, Peter's stepping up close to him again — following just behind Break, a giant toddler on his heels — and there's a clear smile in his voice, a little boyishly excited. He may be about to turn nineteen years old and six foot tall, but there's still a lot of kid left in Peter. And sometimes, it slips out. )

Dude, that was awesome! ( His gushing is soft and still on the shy side, released in quiet breaths, but he's clearly perked up. This guy... this guy's cool. )

Yeah! He put in some kind of uh... rolls? ( He doesn't know much about bread. Peter had existed almost exclusively on Depression Meals throughout his entire life at Deerington — bags of chips from the Hart Mart, t.v. dinners... outdated cans of soup. This place requiring actual cooking skills due to having no instant food around is a lot to get used to.

But he has bread now! He can make something with that! )

You're so good at this. I probably would've gotten chased off, even if I wasn't invisible. Like I have a hard time just talking to people on the phone.

[There's that "dude" word again. Many of the young people enjoy this word. Break will have to track down an older person who is likely to know what it means, and find out. You can't show young people that sort of weakness.

And this one is decidedly young. The gushing reminds him a little of Elliot in happier times. It had been a huge pain in the hind end to have the boy following him around and on about his sword ability back then, but given what happened to Elliot in the end -- and the last exchange they ever had at home -- Break can't help but wish he still felt well enough to be that much of a pest. The association endears him to Peter, even as he's a little bemused.]

I was a servant of a noble household, at home. They trained me for just this sort of occasion. [Because heaven knows it does not come naturally.] This kind of technique is really handy for picking up information at parties, you know?
