"It's a pretty compelling theory," Peter said with a sort of huff, not quite laughter not quite totally stable exhale either. He was still reeling just a little bit, despite his best attempts at keeping their conversation going. "If it's true there's just .... so many questions and like what's the point of all of this if we just disappear from here and some other us goes on living our real lives back home and just..." He had to stop himself and take a slow pull from his cup, hoping it would calm him down and keep his mind from working that thought through to its inevitable end, that'd be the sort of thing he'd like to spiral about when he was alone - which didn't happen much these days, considering the whole roommate situation.
Sometimes you just needed a little privacy to have a mental break down, and in front of a stranger he'd been happily talking about magic with didn't really feel like the time or place for it.
He huffed softly and nodded, "Maybe so," He chuckled a little hollowly, "They were great, don't get me wrong, and it was cool meeting other people like me. What I can do is unique to me in my world, it's not like there are other people running around doing what I can do. So you know finding someone else who knew what it was that I've been through was good for me. But being here?" He shrugged, he didn't wish that on them, they were all needed back in their own world. "Trust me, I'm going to be obsessing over the hows and whys pretty much constantly now." He admitted with a huff shaking his head, "Not knowing isn't really something I do well with when it comes to things like this."
Peter waved off Theo's apology again, "It's okay, it's probably the sort of thing that would have smacked me upside the head sooner or later, I just haven't given it a ton of thought before you suggested your theory." He supposed he'd been operating under the assumption that like his past experience he'd been missing from his world, that at least he had some working knowledge of, this was something else though.
