Unlike other certain boys, Caspian has no intention nor any need of being sent to the hospital for his wounds. Really, neither did that other brat but money is money and some have an urge to burn it for petty reasons. He doesn't doubt that squealing sore loser Daniel "Dimp" Jenkins will have his family take action against Caspian, but what are they going to do? Buy his suspension (or expulsion) over a bruised face, a bloody nose, a chipped tooth, and torn sweaters? Trauma isn't even an issue. Dimp Jenkins prides himself on dragging his knuckles... it's when someone else drags his that it becomes A Problem. Whatever, Caspian cares not for how that boy sees to his injuries, non-lethal, non-permanently scarring injuries. As for his own, he limps to the nurse's office as firmly directed, escorted even by another teacher. His knuckles are scraped again and his right cheek is swollen. There's blood drying at the corner of his mouth and from his nose too but fortunately his isn't broken. The front of his uniform is bloodied, half

"That is a relief," Caspian manages to smile despite his wounded face. He hopes never to give anyone the wrong impression that he doesn't mean what he says, at least not to people he likes and trusts, like this man standing by his desk.
The young man swears he hears an invitation in that and maybe Peter is doing nothing to hide it. Meeting together as something like friends would be wonderful. Fortunately Caspian stops himself before saying 'thank you' and other unnecessary words that do not need to be repeated. Instead, he accepts that offer with an offer of his own.
"I will bring you churros sometime," he nods, "you have my word." The word of a prince, even.

It so happens that Peter Petrelli loves churros. This is a good exchange of offers indeed, and much better than words that may be considered understood--hopefully--from hereon out

... Soulmates. If not that then Peter Petrelli may be the Caspian X of his world or Caspian X may be the Peter Petrelli of his. Otherwise... Soulmates.
That said, he gets to his feet and grabs his belongings, careful not to knock or rub his knuckles against anything. "Thank you, fortunately I feel capable of walking," and showing off his battlescars. No really, Caspian has things to do and he will not let this stop him from facing the world, not after a brief but good talk with Peter. It may not even really be a talk, considering the few words they exchanged about the fight itself, but sometimes one doesn't have to focus on the problem directly. There are and have always been ways to make someone feel better besides applying bandages to them. At this point he sees a direct link between Peter Petrelli and Claire Bennett. They may look unrelated but the way they speak or see things... it isn't difficult to believe they are related.
"I will see you again, Peter, and not for our traditional reason," he promises in the doorway.
