A crown of gold;
A heart that’s harder than stone;
If Zariah’s presence right outside his door startled him, Peter didn’t show it, instead blinking up at her for a moment. Then, he seemed to remember himself, and dipped his head down, not quite bowing fully. ”Thank you.” He said softly, straightening up again.
”I was... just come to uh... to find you.” There was the barest suggestion of a curve on his lips, and excitement in his eyes. ”I wanted to let you know I arrived, and... and ask what’s expected of me.... while I’m here.”

And it hurts a whole lot;
But it’s missed when it’s gone;
PETER
