[ He's learned over time to embrace his flaws because there are a lot of them and sometimes, they can actually help more than hinder him. peter might at times act like a fool or a clown, but that's why he hangs around more serious people, they balance each other out. This thing Aleksander and him have going on is a kind of friendship he never expected, but he's really glad it had happened. His eyes briefly follow the flowers floating around, before he meets Alekdander's again. ]

Oh, like an applied student. Smart. I memorized some of the plants' names using rhymes in my head or I associated them with other things. A bit of a childish method of learning, perhaps, but useful. The flaming pixie cuts look like light bulbs.

[ He nods at the question, not having to be told twice before he moves closer. Then he's playfully pushing at Aleksande's arm and smiling. ]

A pretty pancake? That's a good compliment. And it felt weird not to wear anything. I miss having pockets to carry my gadgets in, but wearing a jacket would have been too much.

[ This is the most naked Peter has ever seen him, and his eyes look over the scales, fins, and curves of Aleksander's body. Respectfully, of course. Or...mostly respectfully. Peter's got eyes and he's only human, all right. The scar tissue on Aleksander's shoulder gets noticed. While curious about it, he doesn't bring it up to attention, like he didn't ask Rocket about the mess of scars on his back when he first saw them. They are a very personal thing and often associated with unpleasant memories. He doesn't want to trouble Aleksander now. ]

So, we're going flower picking? In that case, me wearing clothes might help, I can use them to carry the flowers.
