It's not like I can reach through the screen.

[peter rolls his eyes, but he's still chuckling. nobody better tell saul about the matching tats.]

Guess you can decide later. Gonna try crazy colors tomorrow?

[controlledvariable]

[TOO LATE

There was some fussing for a while but she fixed it by being sentimental at him.]

There's still a lot you can do through a screen.

[Just gonna add an eyebrow waggled to that comment.]

I didn't think to bring any dye back, unfortunately. Maybe I'll try an undercut or something, I know Lisbeth has clippers.

[Bailey would be so proud.]

[werewolfing]

Woman, you are terrible. And wouldn't let me anyway.

[he wags his finger, but he's laughing.]

That when you shave the part you can't see?

[controlledvariable]

I wouldn't! Apparently that's not allowed.

[And yet it doesn't sound like she's talking about Saul.]

Yeah, or I could just take out a section of the side.

[She runs her fingers through her hair to show where she means.]

[werewolfing]

Says who? Besides Saul.

[he's looking at her like he has an inkling of what she might be talking about, but he's gonna make her say it.

peter has a much better poker-face than isaac. much, much better.]

...yeah, you should do that.

[controlledvariable]

I think Isaac might make a fuss.

[Did he think she wouldn't say it? Because she will.

Though she did make sure that Saul wasn't within earshot, since she doesn't necessarily share everything with him. Especially if it's something that isn't her business to share.]

I'll put it on the list for tomorrow.

[werewolfing]

[oh, he thought she'd say it, he just wasn't going to admit it till she did. peter doesn't startle, he just rolls his head to the side, sucks in a breath through his teeth, and chuckles. he doesn't care if people know, he's not embarrassed about it. it's just amusing when they don't, because it feels a little like pulling something over on people, keeping it a secret when they've been teasing him about it.]

If I didn't share, maybe. When'd he spill?

[controlledvariable]

He got all flustered when I suggested that.

[god knows why!!!]

Back in Vegas, on, uh... fuck. [She looks a little sheepish, before shrugging. She doesn't remember exactly what day it was.] One of the days we were there closer to the end of the trip.

[werewolfing]

Lies, he'd be all over that.

[he puts his head in his hands for a moment, but it's definitely amusement.]

That kid. Didn't even make it a week.

[controlledvariable]

Well, he was flustered at first.

[But then he nearly offered her a threesome, so.]

In his defence, I sort of accidentally tricked him into it.

[She was just trying to rile him up a little, not actually make him admit that him and Peter were... whatever they are.]

[werewolfing]

You seem to have that effect on people.

[peter waggles his eyebrows like he's not at all surprised by that revelation.]

Nah, it's cute. And not a secret, so.

[he shrugs. he's not going to volunteer anything, but he also seems pretty relaxed, not trying to dodge either.]

[controlledvariable]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[Yes she does, although it did take Saul pointing it out to her when she bought up the topic of kissing Ella.]

Can I give a bit of advice?

[werewolfing]

Uh huh.

[he knows she knows, no point in harping.]

Shoot.

[controlledvariable]

If you haven't talked about it yet, make sure you do. Not knowing where I stood with Ellie really fucked me over, when we went from being friends to being something more.

[She fucked herself over, at the end of the day, but if they'd talked about what they expected each other earlier, maybe she could've avoided some stress.]

[werewolfing]

[he considers this for a moment, scratching idly under his chin.]

I thought we did. But I'm betting there's a reason you're saying that.

[controlledvariable]

[She shakes her head.]

Nah, Isaac didn't say much, I just wanted to make sure. 'Cause, yeah, fucked me over.

[werewolfing]

[he nods.]

Good reason. Pretty much what I'm trying not to do. Nobody wants things more complicated.

[controlledvariable]

Are you trying to tell me that you don't like complicated relationships?

[pls]

[werewolfing]

[not even dignifying that with a real answer, just making this face and slowly shaking his head.]

[controlledvariable]

[She tries to keep a straight face, but it's impossible, and after a second she's laughing as well.]

I guess I've been reading you completely wrong.

[werewolfing]

Easy mistake to make. I'm a complicated guy.

[controlledvariable]

Maybe just a little.

[She pinches her fingers together, to show just how complicated Peter is.]

[werewolfing]

Yep, seems about right.

[controlledvariable]

Well there are at least two sides to you.

[BECAUSE

BEAUSE HE TURNS INTO A WOLF

SO THERE ARE TWO SIDES

GET IT

DO YOU GET IT
