[Okay, two things. One, Peter is relieved that his joking hadn't resulted in awkwardness or her being offended. Awesome, good, that's good. She seems to me okay with it and this is good.
Second, now they're both sitting on the floor next to each other in his room and hmmm this was unexpected whaT IS HE SUPPOSED TO DO NOW??? Is he supposed to just sit there? Is he supposed to put an arm around her shoulders? Is that too forward? It's way to forward. Might make things awkward, and they were already teetering on the edge of awkward if only because Peter is like 80% awkward at all times. So he settles for gently nudging her arm with his elbow playfully.
There. Not awkward. Nailed it.]
I was kind of joking, but um. Thanks. I don't really hear that a lot.
[It can be pretty hard to stay optimistic when you're dealing with all this bullshit, but he tries. Tries to spread it around. It doesn't always work.]
