[ Ben can't help smiling, listening to Peter. Of course, he likes her for her strength and determination and resilience - because Peter is all those things, too, without seeming to know it about himself. Ben just bets that if he were to ask Poison the same question (and if she felt inclined to answer it) she would list some of those exact same qualities.

But he actually bursts out laughing once Peter mentions her not putting up with his bullshit. His eyes are sparkling with amusement and he nods while tries to fight back the giggles and choke out: ]

Yep, I can see how that would- would really help.

[ He's just giving Peter a hard time, of course - compared to Klaus or Diego or hell any of Ben's siblings, Peter's daily amount of bullshit and making dumb choices is so small. But there's something charming about knowing the two of them are so equal, that she doesn't let him get away with anything ridiculous. Ben feels even more glad he'd argued for Peter to tell her, now. She'll probably be a great ally to have, in all this. ]

You know I told her I'd go and check her room for any extra cameras after we were done here. Should I - are you guys keeping this on the DL or is it okay to tell her I know?
