[The dichotomy of Peter acting like a regular kid, and the similar familiarity he's used to from say, Scott, is becoming a source of strange disquiet. He isn't sure what to do about Peter very casually touching his hair, for example, because it's not the kind of thing Scott would do. It is the kind of Allison used to do, or Melissa might have done, and the gesture alone creates an unwanted feeling that he is very quick to internalise. So much so, that he meets Peter's casualness with an eyebrow lift and a very candid (and gentle) shove to his back, to get him moving. ]
I'm so sorry, [he says, completely deadpan. ] That my house isn't the Marriott. [It's not even really his house. It's easier to joke about this, than to admit that the tone Peter just used very much reminded him of being a dad, and it's not as though Chris ever stops thinking about Allison. It's just that he never thought he'd have to prepare himself to be reminded of her in the form of Peter Hale.
The quickness of how easily Peter has trusted him, too, is starting become more Apparent. He wants to be mad at him about it, but that's not Peter's fault. It's Kate's. It's always Kate's, when it comes to letting down the Hale's. ]
How can you be hungry already? Your gut get replaced with a black hole too?
