Pete nodded at Micah and thanked him before he looked back at Iris with his eyebrows raised, "I've got my orders, Iris. I think you'd better stay," and he supposed it was just good luck that she didn't seem too eager to argue and was asleep before he even had to think of a retort.
He watched her carefully for a moment making sure she was actually asleep and he turned toward Micah and moved in his direction, "Thing in the water? Giant squidy thing?" he asked unable to really stop himself or his geeky curiosity. Seriously, if there was a group summoning Cthulu he was going to wonder how he rated getting shot at.
