Peter almost squared up, too, if only because he was still unsure that this was his best friend from New Dodge. But the second Jack rushed over for a hug, Peter relaxed enough to hug Jack in return. He grinned, laughing with Jack and stepping back to look at his friend, just overjoyed to have a familiar face in this damn city.

"I'm not doin' anythin'. Just sayin' hi to my best friend." Like an asshole, is the part left off there.

"Seriously, though? It's great to see you. I was home for like...two seconds before I came here. Oh..hang on." With that, he heads back to where he'd stored his backpack on a bench, opening it up and letting one small Microraptor out.

"The landlord at the Commonspace really hates pets, so I have to carry her around everywhere. She's pretty mad about it." As if to prove his point, CG hisses at Peter and squirms to be put down, barking in annoyance and flexing tiny claws before deciding she was going to ignore Peter in favor of watching her surroundings.
