Peter can't fathom why, yet it means something that she does. considering he has not shown himself to be much of a friend. )
I will, ( he says, offering a slight nod. ) That's what friends are for, right? ( he's never had many, but even without it he's fairly sure that's how it works. ) Thanks, Reika. I mean it.
