"I think," Peter says solemnly, "that if we didn't have cellular regeneration, we'd be dead already. Dead from stomach necrosis or something."
He takes the wine bottle and has a generous few gulps, swishing the last mouthful around to chase the taste of rancid coffee out of his mouth. God, that was awful.
With that done, he hands the wine bottle back just incase Adam wants to get daydrunk -- hey, who is he to judge, the guy's like a few centuries old -- and very, very carefully does not remark on exactly what hair product he uses. He knows damn well it's really, really rude to be intruding on Adam's thoughts like this, and yet--
There's something pure about hearing his unguarded thoughts. Adam is a man that wears one face and hides another. His every sentence is cleverly chosen. Peter knows he's prone to being gullible about people, but even he can pick up that Adam only lets people see what he wants them to see. Telepathy is affording him a whole new perspective. He'll tell Adam soon, he resolves. Just... not quite yet.
"I'll go look for that safe, it shouldn't take long. I think I can differentiate between solid matter and empty space while I'm intangible, so it shouldn't be too hard to stick my hand through the floorboards and find something. Do you wanna go shopping alone, or should I come with?"
