[ Peter's not big on eye contact on a good day, but he never really thought about how much of someone's expression was read from the eyes until he spent time with Scott - the glasses, of course, obscuring that expressionistic detail. Scott smiles as he loosens up, and it's easier for Peter to parse his mood - he himself loses some of his awkwardness, stance loosening. Maybe he should try to train more regularly - maybe someone around here can actually show him proper form. Peter's always just...hit people however he manages to hit them whilst trying to keep his strength under control. If Scott gets much faster, he'll definitely be able to land a hit; he almost had Peter there, with his quick change-ups.

Peter snorts and nods - yeah, he knows how that one goes. Crazy. Definitely the weirdest he's ever seen, even if to some (Gwen), it was old hat. ]

More common than where I'm from. It's just me. [ If he even counts, which, sort of? He's mutated, but he's not sure if that qualifies him. To have it be almost mundane for Scott is so interesting. ] I mean, at a certain point, you might become genetically diverged. Like, in the far future. It depends on where in the genome the mutations occur.

[ Yes, he's a nerd; just because he's the Peter who skateboards doesn't mean he's any less of a dork. Peter shrugs, self-editing his tangent. ] Mutants does seem like an...othering term. I just use 'enhanced', usually.
