[ That rings a bell, actually, and Peter perks up a little. To be fair, “a rather large hat” isn’t much to go on, but Peter remembers a particular kid with an unnecessarily big hat. He figures they’re probably one in the same. ]
Big hat with a super wide brim?
[ And Peter gestures with a hand toward his own head, as if to mime out how wide that brim was.
[ Technically, being loopy is very different from Peter or this guy (from what he's seen, anyway), so Senren isn't wrong, in Peter's eyes. Obviously he doesn't understand that there's a particular reason for that, so Peter just assumes Senren's being polite. ]
Kid did seem pretty determined to help as much as he could.
That would be him to do that. It might be a little jarring at first but you get use to it. I find it quite endearing really.
[ But, maybe it's because he knew more about Cole now than he Peter does currently. He wasn't about to start sharing though too much. In the end, it would be Cole's choice if he wanted to tell this man that he was a sort of spirit of Compassion. ]
Just treat him like you would anyone else and it'll be all right.

Ah, so you have met, Cole. That would be him, but he's not loopy. He's...well, he's very different from you or I.
[ How does he explain a spirit who was a human to someone who probably knew nothing about spirits? ]
He's a good kid though. He doesn't mean any harm by what he says. It's sort of his job to help others.
