[ Peter yelps and nearly jumps out of his skin. Wheeling back around, he tries very hard to play it off and ignore the fact that he's startled so easily, but there's no way to really take that back now. For how much he understands that he isn't, technically, on his own, he also hadn't expected or prepared for company, and when he's in the zone (even frustrated), that's all it takes.
He clears his throat and shrugs, as if that's all it takes. The mask stays on for the moment, and thank god for small favors covering up the obvious deer-in-headlights of his expression beneath it. ]
No way, man, it's fine. I'm fine, everything's...fine...here...now.
