"Peter. For you, it's Peter." He flashed him a smile. "I have no doubt in my mind I can trust you, and believe me, where I'm at when I'm home, there is no way I would risk my trust on you if I had any doubts at all."

He shook his head slightly. "I will say this though, the act I just showed you has a bit of truth. A lot of what I learned had teachers far between, so I had to learn it on my own. It's just a matter of how you say it that makes the difference, you see?"

He reached out, tweaking his hood with his fingers. "I think that skill might do you really well, in the future, if you can figure out a way to make it work for you."
