[Shitty part is totally over! So. Um. Why isn't it over? The answer is pretty obvious to him at this point: his body is adverse reactions to suddenly having the collar removed. And just when he thought the panic attack was bad enough — well, silver lining's at least that he's not feeling like he's about to freak out.
He just feels woefully ill.
The shoulder under her hand is trembling. His eyesight is still blurry like the good ol' days, but now the light is like... too much. Everything's a lot at once, and the ringing in his ears nearly drowns out what Skye's saying before settling on something a little more tolerable (he can hear the water in the pipes, under them, in the roof — there's a ceiling fan under Skye's legs that's on its max setting for the summer)—
He sounds a little sheepish, keeping turned away.]
Body just needs a minute to, um, re-calibrate, I think.
B-boy, didn't think this would be how the night went. You come here often?
[Peter, don't make fake meeting-in-a-bar jokes to people who aren't around your age bracket.]
