[ Peter rarely makes posts to the network with such express purpose, but when he shows up on the feed this time, he looks prepared. Like he's got a message. And he only glances off camera once, before he starts. ]

You know, been here almost a year and a half now. Place definitely takes a toll on a person after awhile. Especially when things at home don't exactly make it any easier to deal with the kind of things that go on here. If you let it, everything just kind of.. falls apart. [ He shrugs, grasping a little for the right words. Public speaking isn't his strong suit. ]

Doesn't mean it has to, though. I know more than a few people here have made allegiances with people they never would've thought to. Whatever gets you through, right? Makes it easier, helps keep you going? Didn't actually think i'd end up happy in this place, not after everything that's happened.

[ This time, when he looks off camera again, he lets his NV turn ... to an expectant Sylar, his dark gaze fixed on the device. He smiles, wryly, as though to say 'surprise'. ]

Makes a lot of sense, when you think about it. The people who remind you of home, who understand what it's like to be you better than anyone else does; you can't really pick and choose who those people are. Adversity makes strange bedfellows.

[ He quirks an offscreen glance toward Peter. ]

Everyone deserves a little happiness in their lives, don't you think? Someone to love. Something you'd kill to protect. [ He reaches out suddenly, viper-quick, pulling Peter back into view of the NV by dragging him into his lap, and surprising a smile out of him in the process. Sylar presses his nose into Peter's neck, buries his nose briefly into hair that has grown back mysteriously quickly, and then looks back at the screen mockingly. ]

Like this smile. Isn't it adorable? A man could kill for a smile like this.

[ But before Sylar can embarrass them both any further, Peter's fumbling for his NV and trying not to smile so much as he turns off the feed. ]

[ ooc; blue is Peter; red is Sylar. threadjacking is encouraged! ]

Did he do something to you?

[ He did a lot of somethi-- Erm. ]

Something like what?

Like, something bad that made you think this was okay!

Ahiru, he hasn't done anything to me.

Then why are you doing this?

Got more than a few reasons.

Then tell me!

I'm not sure you'd understand most of them, but he understands things. That no one else does.

[ a beat, reiterating Sylar's words. ] He makes me happy.

Peter, he's a murderer!

Yeah. I know.

Why does someone like that make you happy? He tried to kill your niece and a bunch of other people!

Because he actually understands me.

He's insane!

He isn't.

[ He'll be gentle. Promise. ]

You think I brainwashed him?

[She pauses for a moment. Really, she knows she shouldn't talk to him, but...]

Leave Peter alone!

People keep telling me to do that. As though he doesn't have a choice in the matter.

Tell me something--you're his friend, aren't you?

He's a good person! He wouldn't be doing anything with you unless you made hi!

Of course I am.

He wouldn't? You think you know him so well--

[ He has a point to make. Back on topic. ]

If you're really his friend then tell me, do you want him to be happy?

Of course I want him to be happy! But really happy, not just convinced he is because something bad happened to him!

And if you knew that he was happy - really happy - that this wasn't a trick, or an illusion, would you be happy for him no matter how he found it?

Not if it was with someone who would end up hurting him!

That's where you're most wrong. I'm the least likely person on the island to hurt him, especially now.

[She pauses, uncertainly.]

Why not?

Isn't it obvious? [ A pause, but it's not just a natural pause. There's hesitation too. Saying this in public makes things complicated. ] Because I love him.

We don't try to hurt the ones we love, now, do we?
