You're Peter? Geez... how did I miss that?

[He kept scratching around Gabriel's ears, not wanting to disappoint the canine that was obviously enjoying the attention. He some how didn't pick up as the look of surprise actually being one of momentary shock, figuring Peter was just taken back by the weird chance meeting.]

Well uh. Yeah. I'm fine now. No big deal.

[He tactfully doesn't mention the forced haircut. He's getting used to the new style at least.]

Nice t' finally meet you.
