Peter listened to Elle speak, somewhat surprised by ow sincere she sounded. If something should happen, Peter would be ready for it, but he hoped no one would try anything.
Getting a nudge from Elle was Peter's cue to continue. "We figured this place was as good as any to seek some help and shelter," he added. "It's true, we are hiding from someone. But we also thought that maybe we could lend a hand in helping you all figure out what's going on here." He wondered if he should keep quiet about their powers. Peter wasn't completely sure if this guy could be trusted, so he decided to keep that between the four of them, for now.
