Oddly the chinese food did remind him of home, he'd caught up with Nathan at one of the local restaraunts quite a few times when he'd been getting out of class and his older brother had just gotten done with an important meeting. It was pretty nice to share something like that with Elle. He wouldn't really have called it a tradition, but it was something a long those lines, even when he was this far from New York.
Having just finished the vegetable egg roll, Peter grabbed a napkin and wiped his hands and mouth off before setting the food container to the side. Something had caught his eye though, the way that Elle was moving, how she had carefully put her food down as not to draw attention. It caused the beginning of a smirk to pull at his lips, trying to decide what she was up to.
The question was quickly answered when he felt a small jolt on his arm, it wasn't nearly enough to hurt, though it did cause sensation. Then again, his sense of pain was somewhat numbed, in large part to Claire's powers. "That's not fighting fair." His voice was light, nothing serious about it, merely teasing her. "But I can handle that." He used his telekinesis to push her down against the bed, not roughly, and he didn't pin her with it.
