Day 23. Audio

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ here's the slightly less energetic voice of Peter Parker but at least he's not breathless. This time. ]

Uh. Hey. Um.. I just wanted to thank anyone that helped me out yesterday and uh you know, sorry you had to deal with that.

I'm uh.. better now? I guess you could say? Anyways if you need me I'll be around. Probably in the dressing car or one of the other places I like to hang out.

You did be being quiet. Did the spider bite be loosening your tongue?

[hashtagparkerluck]

No, no, I don't think so. I think that credit goes to Uncle Ben and probably also Ned. Skip too, a little, I guess since he was the first one to actually get me to start talking on my own, but I don't-I don't really count him.

Anyways, sorry you had to see me like that-and that you had to deal with that.

[knifewithnoname]

[The only thing he counted for was people who should be stabbed. But she nodded anyways.]

You did no be even being any trouble, just scared and leaky eyed.

[hashtagparkerluck]

Oh no, I was trouble. I kept losing the inhaler I was given and like had something like four asthma attacks so yeah-I was definitely trouble.

[ Peter states as though admitting that be almost died four times yesterday was any kind of semblance of normal. ] Glad I wasn't too much trouble for you, though.

[knifewithnoname]

Well you did be being small and we did already be knowing that you did no be being well trained, so you did be even worse when you did be being little.

[She shrugged, she would have been more surprised if he'd managed to not almost die four times, honestly.]

[hashtagparkerluck]

That's not really how it works back home. I mean there's school and you learn to read and right and of course there's manners your parents or guardians teach you-I guess. But uh, before the spider bite I was-well, you saw.

[He clears his throat a little. ]

Anyways, Aunt May would hardly let me do anything so all I could really do was read and build legos. Too many medical conditions so everything I did had to be Aunt May approved. Uncle Ben was always the one trying to get her to relax and let me try other things.

[knifewithnoname]

You did still be having guardians, they could have been training you. [Reading and playing with legos. No wonder he was... Everything that he was.]

She should have been helping you be getting stronger.

[hashtagparkerluck]

That's not how chronic illnesses work. [ He shrugs. ]

Aunt May was probably a little over protective but in her defense-hospital trips are expensive and I was having like... several asthma attacks a day.

[knifewithnoname]

Maybe no in your world. [In his world of spiders and doctors who steal your money and literal super powers. She's never pretended to understand his world.]

She must have been liking you a lot. [If she had kept him and fed him if all he could do was read and play with legos.] And you do be liking reading and legos.
