Peter rolled his eyes good-naturedly at Gabriel, and gave the man a playful elbow in the ribs. "I don't need isolation to slice things up, man," he said. "But if you're that afraid for your fingers, I won't even use a knife."
He was glad to see Gabriel, and gave no indication that he was mildly apprehensive as to how Gabriel would respond to him. But Selene entered a moment after, providing reasonable distraction. "Hey, Selene," he said with a grin. "This is Gabriel Gray and Sarah Williams." His grin turned into a smile of pure warmth as he added, "Soon to be Sarah Petrelli. And I'm sure that they'd be grateful for the help."
He took a sip of the coffee being handed to him, blinked once or twoce, and glanced at Sarah, then shrugged and took another sip. "I'll set up the other coffee maker for Nathan."
