PETER
"Lunimous knowledge." Peter repeats, his tongue tripping over the word. "Like... light? Or, some other... thing? And re.... regress?" He had thought he could follow along easily enough, but not when she added words for concepts he didn't know yet, or rather, that hadn't been explained yet. He didn't really think he knew any of what they were talking about. There was a moment of silence while he considered, appreciating the simplicity with which she had asked him to rephrase. "So um, two and two, its... it's simple. Small, and... you can show it. Fingers, or stones. But... when it's big, or when there's more, there's um... arguments. It can be different sometimes. So its... not infallible?" Maybe he was just describing a human fault. Maybe math stayed infallible, no matter how far up you went.
He was happy enough to drop hypotheticals in favour of this new avenue of discussion. "Does that mean... does that mean you do know, or... you're making it up, just not knowing? Or..." He flicked his fingers, willing the word to him. "Consciously, you're... you're not doing it consciously?"
Distance, distance keeps you safe
And I don't wanna scare you away
And I don't wanna scare you away
You're laughing cause it's funny
How you're fooling everybody but me
How you're fooling everybody but me
