A deep, sleepy voice cuts through the thought. "Hello?"

"Oh, shoot, sorry," Peter says hurriedly, hoping he's not slurring his words too much. "It's definitely like, really late, isn't it? Or early, I guess, considering it's two in the morning or something. I don't know—ouch!—but nevermind, all good, all good—"

"Peter. What's wrong?"

He grunts and shifts, moving the crimson-soaked towel to peer at the wound again. "Okay, wow, this should probably not still be bleeding this much."

"Peter." There's clear concern, maybe even some barely-steeled panic in the voice. Dad mode activated. "What happened?"
