[It's the wee hours of the morning and it's... Actually the first night's sleep Peter's gotten since showing up here that's been anywhere close to decent. So he still looks like hell, just slightly less so at the moment. When he speaks, it's quietly, and he keeps glancing off-screen as if to make sure of something.First things first. I might have

[Instead of sleeping tonight, Nathan ate a load of sweets and has been fucking with Tommy for hours. So now he's on a bit of a sugar rush and messing with the communicator. Have a video response, Peter, of him looking so, so happy.]

Did you just give me permission to kick you? Because that's totally what I'm taking away from this!

[saveme_barry]

[And your tiny smirk is met with a LITTLE SMILE OF HAPPY, and apparently he's done exploring this avenue for now]

Yeah, well, just because you don't have enough love in your heart for Pete, doesn't mean that I can't embrace him.

[lovethissuit]

Yes, it does. No embracing of any kind is required here. No Pete for you.

[saveme_barry]

You can't stop the Pete, Agent Burke. Pete forever.

[lovethissuit]

I am more than capable of shutting down any Pete-ness you feel intent on starting, so maybe you should just stop now and save yourself the hassle.

Hey! I've already had an education. And unless you can beat the Rutherford, Ohio public school system, I think you're outta your league, Agent Pete.

[lovethissuit]

[The deadest pan to ever leave the pots behind.] Oh, no. However will I compare to the stellar standards you've already been groomed to. I am obviously no match for such pedagogical titans as you must have been exposed to.

[Eeeeeeeeeyeroll.]

When you find that basic trig ain't that much help with the whole hunting and gathering bit, we'll take it from there.

[lovethissuit]

[AND A NINJA DOUBLE-REPLY cause that's how I roll:]

And it's Peter or Agent Burke. No Pete, no Petey, or whatever other dumbass nickname you deem appropriate.

[weirdasinsexy]

[I believe you mean interstellar standards OH HO HO HO.]

Yeah, but [SCOFF CHORTLE surely you see how crazy your request is.] Agent Pete just sounds better.

And, fine, so Rutherford has some pretty lousy schools. I mean, really lousy, like 'my history book still has maps of the USSR' lousy... [Pause, then he picks up steam.] But that doesn't mean I need to learn how to [pfffth] forage. We've got tons of food, and any day now, a truck's gonna roll up and drop off more. [Because that's how hunting works on Earth.]

[lovethissuit]

[Oh, Ros. You pun fiend.]

...No. No, it doesn't.

[FACEPALM.] Wrong. See, if there was a truck? There'd be tire tracks, and I'm pretty sure somebody would hear or see a trailer suddenly popping up considering we're in the middle of the freaking woods.
