[ Chris may not be able to see it from where he is, how Peter mouths the phrase puppy dog eyes to himself and rolls his own, presumably not puppy-like ones. The second coming of Talia, male version. Drawing people to him and building up a pack through some innate, empathetic instinct, which he'd gone through so much trouble to mar and deform in Derek — not that he has ever explicitly acknowledged that to himself, or in those terms. Most likely, the actual werewolf who won Chris over, after Hale-adjacent guilt did the groundwork. No, he doesn't want to meet Scott, maybe a little less than he doesn't want to see the adult Derek. He doesn't usually return to the scene of the crime.
How much of that gets through, who knows; probably nothing, as he's still just lounging and appearing generally louche, as is Peter Hale's prerogative. Some slight dissatisfaction, maybe, but he just converts it into being a pest, which is all that most people ever see. ]
Yeah, I'm clearly here to enliven your incredibly boring life. And I'll tell you what isn't among my current hobbies: hanging out with teenagers.
[ Unlike the adult Peter, hyuk hyuk. Of course, this Peter may only be some ambiguous amount older (five? Less than ten, surely?) but the difference is oh so important at this age. Not that he's totally unaware of this; he puts on a sardonic-sincere sweet tone for the next bit. ]
Believe it or not, Chris, you're really more my speed.
[ Like the earlier sugar daddy joke, Peter is audibly smiling, and since Chris has proven pretty immune to suggestiveness, he doesn't bother making too much of it, or at least, not any more than him saying that while lazily stretched out on the couch with his shirt pushed a bit up already is. ]
