'Ghost boy' is, ironically enough, a pretty apt description of Peter — and that would be even before the literal invisibility was a thing. He's always been more of a ghost than a person, or at least for as long as he can really remember. There was probably a time he wasn't, when he was much younger. Before he could ever really be aware of the odd fact he seemed almost be like an unwanted stranger in his own house. Not fitting in to something like one's own family.... yes, he'd learned the role of 'haunting' a home a long time ago.
....All that aside, the title amuses him in his shy way, and there's another little trace of a smile — a ghost of one. Like he's not sure it's okay to fully let any emotion come through a certain barrier.
"Oh man, I'm glad to hear that. It was pretty rough." Which is... a severe understatement; Clarisse would have died a very horrific death, and the experience itself was still quite horrible even if she'd, fortunately, survived. Peter hasn't been able to shake it since it happened; it lives within him, and he revisits the details over and over and over again.
There's a careful attempt to pat the dog's head as Peter looks up to its companion. "She is, thankfully. It uh... it was really scary for her, but she's okay now." Another pause, as he looks the man over carefully again.
"So it... made you able to see again? Or... see for the first time?" Had he always been blind, Peter wonders. It's a personal question and he's a little hesitant asking, but if the man is seeing for the first time in his life, that must be..... quite the thing. He might need help in other ways, and Peter is happy to provide.
Finally getting to backtags, apologies for the delay!! No worries if you prefer to let this go!
