Falling silent and letting them chat, Peter just looked over to the side, slightly distracted. There was something about Claire wanting to help people that reminded him of himself months earlier - he still wanted to help people, of course, but the drive to save the world had faded, tucked in behind his own failure to do exactly do that.
But he'd help Claire with her mission. He'd do his best to ensure that she learned what she needed to while remaining absolutely safe, and if she ever needed to use those skills in the real world, he'd be there, too. A safety net, of sorts.
"Any time you want to come over is fine," Peter spoke up, well aware that he was completely changing the topic. "We've got a pretty weird sleeping schedule in our tent, but... any time, Claire."
