Rory poked her head in and looked thoughtfully at what Peter was doing. "I know a guy back home who does that for fun. He's pretty good, too. But the sacrifice is that he's really weird, too."
"Hey, Rory," Peter said, looking up. "I'm pretty weird, but I'm not very good at this. I'm trying to decide if that tradeoff is worth it at the moment."
"Hi, and you're not weird like him. That takes effort," she assured him. "I personally don't have the patience to even try. I'd breathe or something and it'd topple over."
"You could always rent some SCUBA equipment, which would solve the breathing problem, but that would be pretty weird," Peter said, getting another wall up. "On the other hand, that weirdness should help you with the construction if anything I've assumed is true."
"I'm me," Peter said, standing up and walking over to hug Zero. It probably would have been good timing for a joke, but it didn't really feel like a joking moment. "So you weren't yourself, either?"
