āBoy am I glad we both have great endurance, with our powers. Otherwise this would hurt a lot.ā
Trying to channel his quipping nature, Peter didnāt want the situation to remain awkward between them; given that theyād been on good terms with each other, for the most part.
āDonāt worry about it! Iām used to people hugging me⦠Mostly because itās how some New Yorkers show their thanks when I help. I guess this is different.ā Heād nervously laugh; likely realizing that he was probably making it more awkward. Heād let go, too; taking the Cheetos with a raised brow, under his mask.
āWell⦠It kind of helps that heās been a fan of mine since I first became Spider-Man. Taught the kid how to defend himself, even before he got his powers. You shouldāve seen the look on his face, when he and I spoke for the first time. And now look at himā¦ā
Peter was proud of Miles for who heād become. Sure, being Spider-Man was a dangerous job, but⦠Miles seemed to love it wholeheartedly.
āSeriously⦠Donāt mention it. I understand completely. Youāre still new to my Earth, as far as being here goes. I can get you up to speed on things⦠At least as far as events are concerned. I owe you that, donāt I?ā
Even if sheād curled in on herself, Peter would softly pat her on the back; looking, still, at their surroundings. It was⦠Nice.
āItās not like heās hard to reach. Heās a really good kid, Aria. He hasnāt called me or texted me in a bit, so he might be busy helping his mom. I can see if heād want to meet you⦠Outside of crimefighting, I mean.ā
āYea...itād be helpful if you caught me up on stuff...in return I can keep on helping with a few tips and tricks of my own when you two are fighting, if youāll have me~ā
She smiles...I think....Her eye raised up, so it looks like she did.
She humms a bit, taking a bite of a chip as she leans back to think.
āI dunno if itād be safe for Miles to meet me...Iām a bit....as youāve seen, overbearing....what if Iām too touchy? Too huggy? Too....me....ā
āPlus Iām a random adult woman, what would his mother think?ā
She groans, huffing a bit.
āLets wait a bit longer....a month or two more before I meet the kid head on...for now Iāll still help with callouts and fights though, but outside of Spidering, nothing.ā
