Kane chuckled. âSorry, force of habit.â He said with a small smile, continually, inexplicably calmed by the other. âI donât know. From what I can tell, everyone hereâs got some horrific skeletons hanginâ in their closet.â He shook his head honestly, but he was smiling. âNot really, mate. But it donât matter - at least youâre beinâ honest.â He said with a shrug. Like himself? Kane frowned, confused by Peterâs meaning. As he explained, the dark-haired boy broke out in laughter, throwing his head back. âYou - you think Iâm immortal?â He shook his head, still laughing. âNo, no, I just got stuck in some crazy hotel for thirty years.â
Peter shrugged it off and remained quiet as Kane spoke, at a loss for words. âStuck in a hotel?â His eyebrows furrowed together, a look of confusion evident in his face. âHonestly, I donât know if youâre being serious or if this is a metaphor I never heard of.â He admitted, letting a laugh slip out.
