[ it's something of a relief when he hears back from Peter. Maybe he hasn't totally alienated every single one of his friends.

Maybe there's hope.

Since Peter went the text route, Charlie does the same. ]

been better

how're you holding up?

[nostalgiabomb]

fine

[ A lie. He's sore and exhausted, but not all of that is Charlie's fault. ]

glad ur not crazy

[animated]

i'm not so sure about that

really felt like i was going crazy





i'm really sorry

[nostalgiabomb]

not ur fault

sides i'm pretty sure this makes us even

[animated]

ha

really wasn't one of those things that needed to BE even, you know?

[nostalgiabomb]

well to be honest i'm more used to ppl trying to kill me before they meet me

so

it's been a long time coming as far as i'm cnocernd

[animated]

still, i try not to make a habit out of stabbing my friends

[nostalgiabomb]

yeah i get that

it's fine tho really

i'm used to it

[animated]

[ this is one of those texts that he starts typing and then stops several times, so there's a bit of a gap before he finally sends it ]

are we okay?

[nostalgiabomb]

[ on Peter's end, the reply is almost immediate. ]

yeah

we're fine

why wouldn't we be

[animated]

oh i dunno maybe cause i stabbed you?

[nostalgiabomb]

[ his sigh goes unheard, which is probably for the best. He's starting to realize that "normal friendships" don't really exist for him. ]

look

i'm a thief and a merc

the man who raised me kidnapped me

for over a decade almost everyone who knew i was terran threatened to eat me

my best friends tried to kill or capture me the first time we met

so u stabbing me while u weren't in ur right mind

kinda low on the totem pole

sides like i said this makes us even seein as how i started it

[animated]

[ he's a bit stunned for a moment- that's the most forthcoming Peter has been with any aspect of his past. At least to Charlie. ]

point taken

[ and then a couple moments later ]

did you at least get someone to take care of that stab wound?

[nostalgiabomb]

wasn't that serious

[animated]

really?

what is with my friends and their aversion to getting their wounds treated

[nostalgiabomb]

just said it wasn't that serious

basically a paper cut

[animated]

okay but like

if you ever need it, ken has healing powers

[nostalgiabomb]

noted

[ although peter doesn't plan on making use of that information -- mostly because he doesn't plan on letting anyone get close enough to kick his ass again. ]

its really nothing tho
