[ Nothing in any of that seems to cause offense. He even seems pleased that in having a reputation for hoarding, Peter has indeed been successful in accumulating a bunch of stuff that other people would probably love to have. And if there's no worry at all evident about that "something unseen," well, no surprise, right? Peter's priorities are never right when he's an adult, and as he takes a cautious little step back toward Chris' personal space, perhaps that's true of him now too. He doesn't say anything at all as he reaches out to put a hand on Chris' shoulder, or almost his neck since he needs the bare skin to do that all too personal pain absorption thing; he doesn't even look at Chris, musing aloud as his gaze sweeps the wreckage of the vault. ]

There are other ways of keeping memories.

[ And there it is again, the casual certainty of Peter's knowledge. All the sneaky little ways he has of finding shit out, and keeping it to himself, and later revealing it in a stingy pinched IV drip, or lying about it for his own purposes. Of course, he wouldn't understand that Chris has heard that tone before. ]

But if it's limited to just me, it's really not that big a deal, is it?

[ It's all coming out excessively casual, while darkness drains away the ache from Chris' shoulder and makes it disappear. One a distraction from the other, though it's not clear which is to distract from which. ]
