[ He gives Mary a compassionate look, his previous interest about New York forgotten. While Peter doesn't have kids of his own, he knows how it is to worry about them. He did help raise a tree baby after all. ]
You know I have this..let's call it a theory. That time in our universes might not pass while we're not there. There are people in this city who went back to their home-worlds and then came back, I know two of them closely so they wouldn't lie to me. And no one seemed to notice their absence, as it time was frozen until they went back. Your boy might be safe, waiting for you.
[ Her gaze turns back to his. ] Do you think so? I've never heard of that before... never even thought of it. [ Mary hopes that he's right. It will give her some comfort to think that George may never miss her. ]
I suppose you're right. Anything is possible here at this point.
[ Space people. Aliens. People from far in her past. She's seen things here that she never would have thought were real. What's one more thing to believe? ]
All figure types are wonderful if you ask me but I get what you mean. [ He's concerned about his weight too, if only because his team keeps making fun of him for it. ]
What are your favorite sweets? I'm not half bad at cooking desserts.
Even chubby ones? [ Her mama had always said that men wouldn't like a chubby girl, so she ought to take care to watch what she was eating. Besides, eating too much was unladylike. ]
I like biscuits... and anything chocolate, really.
All kinds, yes. [ Peter is also including people with an unusual number of limbs on that affirmation. Given how this is a more personal point of view born of being raised around alien, he keeps that part to himself. ] What's so wrong with chubbiness? People have far too many opinions about other people's weight.
[ Which is a bit of a sore subject for Peter, his team also used to make fun of him for his weight. ]
I think we have some of those around the kitchen. We should definitely eat some, even if it's only today.
It seems that most men are not attracted to chubby women.
[ That's what she says, as they set off to find either biscuits or chocolate. Mary will limit herself, however. She won't have more than two biscuits. ]
If idiot men could fly, we would never see the sky, Mary. [ Peter shrugs, understanding the issue but tired of it. He busies himself once they get to the kitchen, looking for the teapot.]
A lot of people in this world are morons, I'm afraid, but there's always the chance to find the right person. It just might take a while. Gamora and I had our ups and downs too...most likely in the from of people trying to kill us.
A bit of both, I suppose. Living outside of earth gave me some perspective. I grew up with aliens and they came in all sort of colors and shapes.
[ Most of the ravagers were also jerks but they were all he had after his mother died. He had to adapt to the situation and once Peter grew up the situation was to either stay alone forever or mingle with other aliens for intimacy. ]

[ Peter smile is kind and then he rolls his shoulders. He's a bit sore after working on his ship.]
Would you care for some tea? It's been a long day I think we could both use something sweet.
no subject
I would... How sweet do you take it?
[ Two sugars is usually the max for her. Mary doesn't like her tea terribly sweet. ]
no subject
Peter opens the door of the bedroom for her. ] Is the reason why I'd take candy over coffee any day.
no subject
I always would enjoy the sweets our cook used to make, though I tried not to eat too much of them. A woman has to watch her figure.

People here seems pretty open minded as well.
