 After that talk with Wendy, Peter found himself anxious to get as far away from the hideout as possible. It wasn't that he was mad at Wendy, quite the opposite in fact! He just couldn't even begin to understand the emotions that were running through his head at the moment making Peter's brain more of a jumbled mess than it usually was. Thus, being quick on his feet Peter declared he and John were to go hunting for the new Lost Boy's animal skin.

 However, even as the pair walked through the forest with daggers, slingshots, bows and quivers strapped to their backs Peter still felt a bit nausea. He was good at hiding  it, he usually was, but the more he it in the worse it got.   John and Peter trekked through the undergrowth without speaking, Peter taking the lead as he followed a pair of animal tracks he didn't recognize. He pushed all his thoughts to the back of his mind, focusing on the matter at hand as intensely as he could.

Checking to make sure John was still following Peter snapped his head in the direction of the Darling boy, who seemed grossly out of his element. The Eternal Boy couldn't help but smile at that, glad he wasn't the only one feeling uncomfortable in their own skin at the moment. 

 He turned back to the footprints and the boys followed them up a small hill that separated the Lost Boys territory from the Piccanniny Tribe's land. The trailed into the forest along a pair of human footprints perhaps someone Tiger Lily knew...  Peter sighed and began scuffing his foot along the tracks to cover them, "It's gone into the Indian's territory. In our treaty it says we can't hunt on their land and that is a part of our deal that I do not wish to break."

 John had said the Lost Boy's Oath, although, secretly, Peter had forgotten most of the original oath so made up things as he went along but John seemed so eager about taking the Oath that he altogether missed the drawn out pauses Peter took whilst he thought of things that sounded good for his oath. 

 Either way, John was the first new Lost Boy and this was something he had to tell Wendy about. So, both boys took off toward Neverland and arrived outside the Hideout sometime later. Night had engulfed the Neverwood in waves of inky black and wild beast called out to her from various locations of the forest, these were the sounds of home for the Only Child and he smiled at them as he pushed the door open. 

 "Here's the hideout," explained Peter as he pulled various items out of the pockets Wendy had sewn for him and tossed them aside. He showed John the rest Hideout as if the boy had never been there before. "I suppose we'll have to get a hammock for you... An animal skin as well, actually, Lost Boys get that for themselves."

Maybe...? If he was I think I'd remember that bit. I do remember there being more Lost Boys, y'know, before Slightly and the other's... How should I know, John? Maybe you should ask him yourself?

omgosh dkjsiepsn I can’t my feelings

I just died a little inside.

Traveling to London at top speeds wasn't a new feeling for Peter but he'd never felt his heart race this fast afterward, this wasn't some adventure of his, someone's life was at stake, and worse, it was at stake because of a Darling. His feet hit the roof shingles and loosened a few, causing them to fall into the yard below.

 He turned to Slightly who'd landed a little bit before him, "There's a beast that guards the house," He warned, hoping it was make the Lost Boy think a little more rationally, "Besides I know every hallway and room of this place. So stick with me and don't do anything stupid."
