[There is absolutely no judgement on Peter's end. Obviously all that shit that had just happened was bugging Ben, and Peter didn't want to push him to do anything else if he wasn't feeling up to it. He wasn't really feeling super up to it himself after what he'd seen earlier, but he's gotten pretty good at smashing his feelings down and pretending that everything is fine for the sake of the greater good. As much as he'd rather be chilling and watching a movie or back in his room smushing his face into Poison's cats, he was going to go get his ass to work. Because if he doesn't, and something bad happens to someone else, it would be his fault.
It wouldn't actually be his fault, but this is his mindset. That's super healthy, right?
SO, with a gentle smile, he gives Ben's shoulder one more squeeze before he starts to head off with his weird web cocoon.]
Absolutely, man. I'll let you know. I'm putting you on movie duty, though! If you find anything at all, we are so watching it.
[He's half kidding, but maybe giving Ben a task for when he's done wallowing in self-loathing will be good for him? Who knows.]
