[ Theo doesn't spend a significant amount of time at home these days. 'Home' is full of people he's gotten used to: his best friend, Adam. His on and off again fling with Lyra, as well as Yera, the teenager who he'd become quite close to a few missions ago when they'd been stranded together and had to watch each other's backs. She's supposed to be his 'daughter' here, and while their age gap isn't that far apart, he'd be lying if he said he didn't have paternal feelings towards the kid. Which is why he's been staying away:

The bloodbath of the last mission hit him hard because he hadn't wanted to hurt anyone at all. Unfortunately, Eos hadn't given him any choice, so he'd left several bodies in his wake across Moorecroft.

The door to his home opens, and Peter is met by Yera: a seventeen-year-old girl who looks like she's battle-ready at all times, just in case. She eyes him for a moment, suspicious of what he wants with Theo, then leans back through the doorframe to yell out Theo's name down the hallway.

Even as Theo comes down the stairs that lead from the second floor, she keeps a grip on the doorframe, not letting Peter or Theo pass the door for the moment.

And Theo, who looks absolutely exhausted with dark circles sitting deep under his eyes, looks to Peter over the top of Yera's head. ]

You need something?

[keepitgoing]

[Peter shifts awkwardly on his feet, looking at Yera like a boy about to be consumed whole by jaws that may or may not unhinge. Yera, please, he comes in peace.]

Um...! Not really, no. I mean, I guess I came to talk... if you wanted.

I'm new — I'm Peter? Parker. Peter Parker. [Listen, nobody ever gave Peter a medal for introducing himself in any other way than nerdy and uncool. But he's earnest, and that's what matters!] I heard things were pretty rough recently, so... I just... wanted to check in and see how you're doing. If you're okay with that.

... I brought pie?

[etrayanpcs]

[ Even with the revelation of pie, Yera does not seem too keen to abandon her post as gatekeeper. That is, until her eyes meet with Theo's and the silent request of his raised eyebrows is understood. Though it isn't without her offering Peter one last sharp stare of warning, but she removes herself as their barrier all the same, allowing Theo to step forth a little more fully as she recedes into the house. ]

You heard about that, huh?

[ His voice is low and tired, and he doesn't seem like he wants to talk about the details. Why would he? Why would anyone in his position? Still, he shrugs his shoulders in a halfhearted gesture. ]

I've certainly been better. I don't know how much pie will help, but the gesture is appreciated.
