PETER
Evie lets him haul her up, and then there are two of them on top of the shelf, looking over the rest of the shelves. With someone else beside him, it does start to feel a little interesting, and little exciting, and Peter lets himself laugh softly, looking around again before turning back towards the redhead. "Maybe..." He draws the word out, almost matching her teasing tone. "...it's interesting because it's... because it's high?" He tries to compromise, not really concerned about how they end up.
The book on her lap seems interesting enough, at least judging from the front page. And then she starts talking about animal anatomy, and Peter can't help but reach out, flip to a page at random and stare at the diagram on it. He's listening well enough to look up at her when she stumbles, his eyes and face, understanding, and he nods when she continues. "That's... I think it's good. It's um..." He tips his head back and forth, thinking. "I don't know. It's nice though."
Leaning back when she takes the book back into her own lap, he thought of Loren, and how his healing magic had worked. "Does it help? The uh, knowing." He gestures to the book. Maybe it can help his own magic, he'd never considered... actual study.
