Peter isn't really offended by Balthier leaving him to go off with David. That's what dating people do, probably. (His relationship with MJ was hardly normal, and Ned was often butting into the middle of it, on accident or on purpose. It was annoying sometimes, but now he'd give anything to have it back to that sometimes awkward arrangement.) He's sort of off-kilter, though, since he doesn't know that many people immediately and also there's too many people and also he's not sure what the etiquette is for how many snacks is too many or how many snacks makes you look like a poor kid who probably doesn't eat enough right now what with not having a job…

So anyway, sure, he has high anxiety. It's a thing!

"My kind of fun is, like, video games and Legos and solving complex mathematical equations," he says. That last one is only half a joke. "Fancy parties don't happen a lot when you're just some nobody from Queens."

Oh. Oh, dancing. Right, people are doing that.

"I know how to dance!" he says, a half-hearted protest, but he takes Balthier's hands anyway.
