that's okay automatically up there by dint of an awesome mutual acquaintance. peter is an introvert through and through, and legend has it that he once was an indefatigable optimist before life browbeat him into the husk of a curmudgeon that he is. he's pretty gruff on the surface, copes with the things he sees on the job with the kind of black humour that's totally fucked up in any other context, has zero tolerance for liars, has pretty thick skin and doesn't mind treating people shabbily to get at the truth. but he actually does care a lot more than he lets on with a very strong sense of justice. prone to lacking compassion in words but compensates in action. i'm thinking that maybe peter used to be (and still is) a fan of his music back when he was a nicer person and it got him through some tough times in the theatre of war. so yes, friends, he could always use more of those.
