It's not fair that Peter's sore even in his dreams. He shuffles, wincing, toward the nearest booth, and flops gracelessly into it.

Sitting down. It's good stuff.

"He's under a lot of stress these days," says Peter; whether this is in defense of Nathan or in warning is open to debate. Maybe it's both. "Did he tell you he's running for Congress?"

"He never mentioned it. He was more concerned with blowing off my ideas for how to stop some city blowing up."

Peter does not really seem very surprised by this.

Well, except -- "He told you about the bomb?"

[precocioustilda.livejournal.com]

"I believe his exact words were 'Unless someone exploding and taking out half a city is normal where you come from.' He didn't seem inclined to provide details beyond that."

It is difficult to snark with a hot-chocolate moustache, but she tries valiantly nonetheless.

"Well...yeah," says Peter, scratching his head. His arm is stiff; he winces as he lifts it. "It's kind of a security thing. It's probably classified."

"...Classified? That's a new one."

She takes a sip of hot chocolate and seizes upon the first opportunity for a subject change that presents itself. This being: "And anyways, running for Congress is no excuse to not want cookies."

"Well, it's a matter of national security," Peter insists, and only stumbles over the words a little bit.

Then, brightening: "No, yeah, there I agree."

"Cookies are delicious. Everyone likes cookies."

Tilda is very firm on this point.

"Even potential Congressmen."

"Some people are allergic," Peter says helpfully. "At least if there's chocolate in them. Or peanut butter, or nuts."

She points a finger in the air in the traditional 'but wait!' gesture. "Ah, but there are all kinds of cookies! There's ones without chocolate or peanut butter or nuts - what about oatmeal cookies, for example?"

Academics and food. Tilda is in conversational heaven.
