[ Peter looks... rough. His eyes are blood shot and there's red blotches all over his skin. It looks like he might have fallen into a pit of poison ivy if that were a thing here and he's been itching. He probably shouldn't. ]

So I uh.. I need a roommate. I guess.

It has to be someone close-ish in age with me and it's a weird request but it can't be anywhere near the mint.

...

also I.. probably need to see a doctor. maybe.

...

Or someone similar.

[ don't make him feel bad about this. ]

It's okay. You didn't know.

I just can't be anywhere near it. [ it's making him itch just thinking about it. ]

[usedtobesmoller]

I know. Just, you look real rough. I hate that we did it to you. And now you're without a place to sleep.

[Steve is seriously thinking about burning his and Bucky's clothes.]

If there's anything I can do, Peter... Anything at all.

[hashtagparkerluck]

You can not blame yourself for it.

Really, I'll be okay just as soon as I find some anti-itch cream or something.

[usedtobesmoller]

[Steve perks up a bit, the medical knowledge he has finally useful.]

Oh! There's actually something in a blue jar at the hospital that can help with itch. I'd offer to get it for you but I'm part of the problem...

[hashtagparkerluck]

Well, the mint smell's gotta fade eventually, right?

it's okay, I'll figure it out.

[ just not when he still kinda feels like he's on fire. Not that he's gonna say that part. No need to make Steve feel any worse than he already does. ]

[usedtobesmoller]

[Steve doesn't look overly comforted but nods.]

Once it fades, you're welcome to come back if you need. I know you will likely have something else set up, but just in case.

[hashtagparkerluck]

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

Tommy said I could stay with him and Billy so I guess that's where I'll be for awhile.

[usedtobesmoller]

[Steve nods]

Billy is good people. They'll be good company. Just make sure that they take care of those allergies. Don't want it getting worse...

[hashtagparkerluck]

I think as long as limit my exposure to it, it'll be okay.

I already feel less like I'm gonna combust.

[ ... ]

n-not that, that's how I felt before. Just really itchy.

I was being dramatic.

[usedtobesmoller]

[Now you have sad puppy Steve. Good job.]

Oh, geez. I really am sorry, Peter. You're sure I can't do anything to help you out?

[hashtagparkerluck]

It's okay. I know it was an accident.

I'm not mad.

[ Just miserable. ]

[usedtobesmoller]

I know. You're a good fella for not being sore about the whole thing.

Still you look like me a second before Bucky went for a priest. Please make sure you get that looked at soon?

[hashtagparkerluck]

Oh, I'm definitely sore. Just not mad.

[ ...goddamn it. ]

Just uh... sorry, that was in really poor taste.

Um.. yeah, I'll have someone take a look, promise.

[usedtobesmoller]

[Steve snorts. That was funny.]

Good. And if you need anything, I'm always here for you. Maybe not physically while I am mint-scented... But you know.

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ Well, at least he didn't make him feel any worse with his terrible jokes. ]

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
