Peter knows what it's like to be surrounded by people who are better adapted and more powerful. He sort of downplays the amount of power he has, even in every day exchanges. He can hear and feel things much better than other people, and he's just used to…dialling it down. And that has nothing on how strong he actually is. There'd been a learning curve at the start, and he always feels like other people must adapt faster. But that's just teenage inadequacy talking.

"I guess that's how everyone starts whatever they're doing, huh? Seems exciting and then someone dies and you tear a hole in the multiverse or something." He tries to make that sound lighthearted but he doesn't manage at all. B minus for effort.

"Crew seems like a pretty strong word if you're a pirate."

It does mean something, because it means something to Balthier. Peter has no idea how he stumbled into this friendship, but he's grateful for it anyway.
