[ Peter's unsure what to make of any of this — he wasn't really planning past an apology to Quentin for what happened — but he's just going to obediently follow along, trailing after his teacher, staying quiet. It's not a long walk, though of course Peter manages to slip into a bit of a daze regardless; he blinks thickly a couple of times when the older man starts speaking again, turning to look at him. Oh, they've in the coffee shop now... When'd that happen? Wake up, Peter.
Quentin talking about the magic again does help wake him up, the teen's eyes widening a little when he once again mentions magicians. It's a term Peter's familiar with, of course; the concept isn't exactly new even where he comes from. But it's... trickery, sleight-of-hand, people cutting ladies in half with a saw and you gasp in shock even though you watched "Breaking the Magician's Code: Magic's Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed" and saw the trick explained. ]
Wait... Alice. You know Alice?
[ Out of all of this information that's been presented to him, Peter's mind clings to the one thing that's familiar — the name of someone he doesn't know very well but has... felt, in his mind, through Luna Lovegood. Courtesy of all those threads last month. He's spoken with Alice Quinn himself since then, and.. she'd mentioned magicians. She'd even shown him a little bit of magic. ]
So you're the same.. type. Of magician. You do the same magic? ...Are you from the same world as her? Are you from Earth?
[ Sorry Quentin, he's not even intentionally trying to distract the topic away from himself; he just.. has to make sense of things, and magic's still a really new concept to him. It's hard to believe it just... exists, really exists, and quite possibly existed in his world, too. He hasn't forgotten the spell words, the... weird shit he'd seen in his attic. It was some kind of magic, wasn't it. ]
