[Video, Backdated to Day One of the Flood]

[The feed clicks on and has the general fumble that comes along with someone who doesn't really know what they're doing with the device. Eventually, after everyone gets a good couple seconds of the flood of Peter's room, the camera rights itself and a young face peers into the lens. He's about five, and he's got Peter's glasses on, even though they obviously don't really fit him and look both oversized and comically cockeyed on his face.

He squints at the device, flips it back over, and from the sound of it, is now taking a screwdriver to the back of it to try and figure out how it works. Eventually, the feed cuts.

Maybe ten minutes later, it clicks back on and Peter squints curiously at the camera.]

How does this work? [And as an afterthought, he figures he might as well ask:] When are we gonna go home?

[Peter is small for his age and quiet, so for the most part, he's not one of the more noticeable kids on board. He wanders, and peeks at things, and follows certain people around if they seem cool or like they don't mind him tagging along, but for the most part, he keeps to himself and tries to keep out of trouble. His aunt and uncle have been saying he doesn't talk enough these days, but considering he's in a strange place with a bunch of strangers, he figures that's not really a bad thing.

... Except when he's hungry, and isn't quite sure where the dining hall is. Then he's sort of nervously looking around for someone to ask about where he can get a sandwich or something, because he really doesn't want to be a pest or anything but. He's hungry. :c]

Not much difference there. Can't you find someone? You're gonna get ripped right up.

[He shrugs.] I found you.

[And he feels like he's supposed to stick with him. And he won't take no for an answer. >B(]

I'm not here to look after you, kid. [you little. barnacle, you.]

I don't need you to look after me. [But again, he's not saying it for the sake of back talking, or being snarky. The snarkiness comes later, once he's used to being picked on and having no one else to come to his defense, or much to defend himself anyway.]

Where're you going?

To get a sandwich. [why is this happening. James frowns at him for a moment, then rolls his eyes and walks on again.]

You hungry?

[And Peter follows without asking him, although he smiles brightly when James asks the question.]

Yeah!

[Barnacle. All these kids are barnacles. He rolls his eyes, and makes a 'come on' gesture.]

Fine. Let's get a sandwich. [And then he is ditching the kid somewhere. Totally the plan.]

[Good fucking luck, because Peter is quiet and stealth and good at latching on to people. So now you have a shadow. Get used to it.]
