( That's— fuck. Well that's all astronomically horrifying. Incantations, (Decay Incantation... oh, lovely). But of course, there's the second part to all of that, the part where Varian seems to suggest that he..... was brought back.... from the dead...? Of course. Almost the whole kingdom was affected, he said.
Peter'll just have been staring widely at him through that, for the immediate moment not commenting on it. Not knowing how to. Coming back from the dead in this place is... something, but back home? Varian died and came back, back home?
It's... a lot. It's something he maybe will ask Varian more about, when he... knows how. It seems there's quite a lot about the other boy's past that Peter could maybe.. learn from, with the magic and the demons and all manner of frightening shit.
That is, if Varian will ever talk to him again after all of this. It feels like only seconds have gone by and he's been turned completely upside down again as he slumps further down the side of the house, ending up sitting completely on the ground. )
I'm— sorry. ( It's not an answer to Varian's question, but it's his immediate response, and he's shaking all over again. Not just from the physical experience of it, but what could have happened. Peter stiffens, like he's trying to keep a distance between them. Varian's not scared enough of him, and he doesn't know how to remedy that. He has to try. )
H-he could've really hurt you. He— can do weird shit, like set things on fire and fuck people up, and— he could've done that.
( Peter gives a shaky breath, a sharp sound drawn inwards. Something else is bothering him, something very weird and disturbing about what just happened (even moreso than usual), but he'll have to touch on that later. For now... he needs to make Varian understand, if he can. Varian can't just shout and fuss with this thing; he needs to be afraid of it. Peter didn't invite the other boy over here with that intention, but... there it is. It's just reality. People should be afraid of the demon. And of Peter by default. )
You need to be careful, okay? If you make him mad, he could— ( He closes his eyes for a moment, pushes his palms into them hard enough that he can see stars. It's another reminder, like what happened with Luna. There's a beast inside of him. ) I don't want you to get hurt.
unnecessarily lengthy introspection!
