What Adam described sounded nearly as outlandish to Peter as Caido itself had, though there was just enough that he could cling to to keep it believable. ”I remember elves.” He mumbled darkly, staring at the bark of the tree. ”I heard about... heard about all kinds of other... other things too. And the technology is...” Peter cast his mind back and sighed deeply. It had been overwhelming.
The fingers on his wrist drew his eyes back up to see Adam, closer than he had been before. Close enough that if Peter wanted, he could lean forward a breath and they would be touching. He didn’t dare think beyond that, not that he needed too, his lips tingling with remembered sensation as his ears, then cheeks, went red. l”What... what do you... a sign of what?” Peter sputtered more than usual, then reached up to put his hand against Adams chest and push him away.
Peter was silent for as long as it took him to recover, then he was trying to move past whatever Adam had been trying to imply, asking questions about the differences between their times. The redness in his ears never really went away, not until he needed to return back to the manor, andnleave Adam begins him.
PETER
They don't know you like I do
The little secrets that you keep
I'm gonna haunt your dreams at night
You'll have to hide those kitchen knives
The little secrets that you keep
I'm gonna haunt your dreams at night
You'll have to hide those kitchen knives
