AUDIO; from a cafe; post-bottle

[nerdylilspidey]

 [Peter's not quite in the right place, mentally, to put up a video post. And he definitely isn't sure he should put it up from his own suite. So he's found his way to the nearest cafe, with an oversized hoodie pulled up over his head, and is starting up only an audio feed.]

Never a boring moment around here, is there? One minute we're normal-ish, celebrating Valentine's Day, and the next we're battling evil miasma inside a magic bottle.

Does anyone ever wonder what happened to the idea of rest and relaxation?


[FILTERED to the Spider-family]

...Sorry. About what happened back there. You-- You guys know that that-- That wasn't me. You know that, right...?

Oh, God... [There's a sigh, and then a beat of silence before he continues.] Anyway, just- I'm sorry.

[He nods slowly, before letting himself lean into the hug a little. He really does appreciate the gesture.]

Thanks. I just- I think it'll just take some time, or something.

[daughteroftheoriginal]

Yeah.

[After a bit:]

Make sure that you hold onto your costume though, okay? I mean, I can understand if you don't want to wear it for awhile or whatever, but yeah.

[She glances at the food.]

It's no ice cream after a late night patrol, but it should still hold up. [A gentle nudge.] What do you think?

[nerdylilspidey]

[He lets out a small sort of chuckle.] Unfortunately, I've never been good at putting it away.

[At the nudge, Peter glances back over at May before looking to the food again, this time actually really looking at it.]

I think it'll do the trick. So- I guess the ice cream thing, that's a thing you do with your dad?

[daughteroftheoriginal]

Once or twice, when he's caught me coming in on the late side.

[Webslinging with a curfew can be hard work.]

Color me surprised you keep going back to your costume.

[nerdylilspidey]

The call of the suit is strong.

You think anybody around here might even have ice cream? 'Cause seriously, not even gonna lie, I'd love some right now.

[daughteroftheoriginal]

I know exactly what you mean about the suit.

And you know, I have no idea. They don't have cows which really limits the options, but they probably have something similar? We can go look after we knock all this out, if you want.
