[ Peter has no doubt that Chris is filtering and ignoring it. That while he and the older version of himself likely do not have a congenial relationship, judging by certain ways Chris has reacted to him, to the confusion that sometimes boils off of Chris in nearly visible form, this behavior, or some type of it, isn't entirely unexpected. Which makes sense: he doesn't think he'll be completely different as an older adult (the vault proves it). Some things are too ingrained, though they may take new forms with time.

He cranes his head off the armrest of the couch to look at Chris from a lopsided angle, so if Chris was feeling a little scrutinised before, he can feel a lot more of it now, as seemingly playful as it is. ]


Getting Derek into trouble? More like getting him out of it. How do you think I started that arrow collection?

[ It probably won't be lost on Chris either that Peter just. Isn't answering. Not really. Almost as if the younger one somehow knows that the older one still maintains so much secrecy, not only in the present but about the past as well. ]

And don't think you can pretend that's all you do. You're tired of this life, sure, but you're also bored of it. Or you were before I showed up. Now you're having steak for dinner, and an engaging mystery for dessert.

[ Peter grins, confident in his assessment although the 'bored' part is absolutely projection on his part. And yes, he did sort of frame things so that he's the engaging mystery, though he didn't use a suggestive tone when additionally saying the mystery was dessert. That's just cheesy. ]
