video.

[ Peter's had enough. He's tired of trailing after the shadows of Sylar like it'll get him anywhere and he's done this already. It got old the first time he got shoved off a rooftop. It got even older the... second? time he helped kill Sylar. And now? He's just over it. Long past over it. And he's not going to apologize for his behavior.

Which is why he's now taking a page out of Claire's handbook. Especially since he's figured a certain something out.

... Peter's seated plainly at a table, a rather large kitchen knife laying in front of him. You know, one of those you see running rampant in horror movies.
]

Hey, Sylar.

[ He smiles plainly, picks up said knife and waves it in front of the comm, his other hand resting palm side down on the table. ] You paying attention?

[ A second later, no hesitation, he slams it into the back of his hand, barely managing a flinch in the process. Though he doesn't look particularly comfortable when he goes about twisting it around. For. Y'know. Posterity's sake. Keeping Sylar's interest is important, here. Another few seconds and he pulls it back out, tossing the knife to clatter on the table. Shoving his palm into the screen of the comm device, it only takes a second or two for the wound to begin healing, knitting itself together until it's gone completely, leaving behind tracks of blood.

Wiping his hand off on his jeans, he looks rather expectantly at his comm, completely blase.
] So. Interested in talking yet? Or do I still have to come find you.

You're attributing a much deeper romantic capacity than humans are honestly capable of.

Not to say it wouldn't be easier if they were. Perhaps even for these two, whatever this is about.

Oh, I'm sure humans like to get rough now and then. That's what movies have lead me to think, in any case.

Perhaps, but their roughness is entirely different. Mostly, in actual real life that isn't a fictionalized romanticization that doesn't often occur otherwise, it's all negotiated and agreed upon. It's made safe.

None of it derives from proper hatred.

You seem disappointed. Assuming you're something other than human, your approach is different?

We have a very broad approach to romance that doesn't really matter anymore, considering how limited the majority of this planet's population does things.

Do you. That sounds worthwhile, can you tell me more?

As I said, it doesn't really matter anymore, so there isn't much point to sharing it. Unless you happen to run across a troll who doesn't recognize how little it matters.

[ or maybe it matters a little more to them because, unlike her, the viable options aren't all five years younger and the wrong gender. ]

But what do you want me to say, that when two people really and truly hate each other, they may come together in a passionate and violent manner to consummate that hatred?
