When: Day Sixteen
Where: Kitchen/dining car

Peter's probably talked nonstop over the past hour about everything on the train and other stuff too. He's so happy to have his aunt back he doesn't even care about the fact he's in so much trouble. He can live with that. Probably. Until he gets bored anyways. But right now who cares?

"-And then we went to this Mountain where this lady-uh Albany and her kids ran this Inn. It was really nice and I taught the kids how to play the floor is lava and uh freeze tag and stuff. That was fun and their mom made like really bomb pancakes and the best lemonade ever-I mean I know I'm not supposed to drink it and all but ohmygod Aunt May it was the best! Like oh my god, I could never give that up." He rambles from where he's leaning against one of the walls.

"-it was a really weird world though. We were there to pick flowers and herd these bat like things called Dralite-they were really cute, by the way, anyways-we had to like also get rid of this giant gorilla-I'm pretty Mr Stark just like.. shot a repulsor beam at it and pretty much just yote it right off the cliff and like-Mission accomplished. But the goats bit! I tried to move them and one bit me on the stomach and oh my god that sucked." He explains in an energetic way that only he can really manage. "But it's okay-I mean I healed up just fine-not even a scar." He lifts up his shirt to show her no traces of the bit in case she was worried.

May watches the two of them as she reads, glad that they seem to be enjoying themselves. It was easy to get lost in this story. Peter wasn't someone she read to much these days, as he grew older he wanted it less but it was still something she found nice to do. She watched Buttercup carefully, to see if she was taking it in and it seemed the young girl was paying attention but she hoped it wasn't too difficult for her.

The concepts were a bit tricky but not really any more than listening to Peter normally. Less so actually because this story stayed in one place and didn't jump around talking about six different things all at the same time.

She understands that Chicago is a city and it is in the same world as Peter. That world was strange but she can understand the story at least.

Peter keeps glancing over at Buttercup to see how she’s liking the story. Eventually though, he lets out a yawn and sinks further into the seat to lean against May, listening as she reads.

It’s so nice to hear her voice again. It’s a comfort he didn’t even realize how much he missed. His eyes drift closed and he briefly thinks about how he didn’t get much sleep the previous night.

May finishes the chapter then closes the book softly as she notices that Peter is drifting off. "Do you want me to keep reading?" she asks the two of them. "We can always continue at a later time if you need to sleep or do something else?"

She's not sure how Peter can be sleepy but perhaps it is easier to follow if he understands everything and has heard it before.

She, on the other hand, is listening like she will be tested on it later. She might be. She's not sure.

She blinked when May paused. She's alright but it does seem like Peter wants to sleep. She watches him silently. He is the one who should answer.
