[By and large, Peter is a bit of a sloucher--part just being hunched over work or a screen a lot of the time looking at things in close detail, and part That Spider-Man Life--but as Loki speaks about the things he's seen of his other selves and trajectories of their fates he sits up slowly to the back of his chair.
The words of his younger self sliver back through his mind, the question about wasn't Loki super evil and here again is the indication of something other than that in this Loki--his Loki.(Wait, is he allowed to think of this Loki as his? Those are big questions)
There again is that willingness to set the truth upon the proverbial table, the ability to self-reflect and admit to poor past choices and what this Loki has done in the aftermath of that. It's complex and painful and messy, and another example of the difference in scale of stakes so many of these other worlds have compared both to Peter's and this one.
It seems a fairly instinctual thing to reach out and sweep the tips of his fingers against the hair at Loki's temple, a sort of placeholder for where words should be but he's not immediately sure of what to say.]
You know, it hadn't crossed my mind as something I needed to be reassured about with you, if I'm honest.
