[ His hands are a little calloused and have a few lines of scars on them, with long, lithe fingers and thicker but well-filed nails. The first press on massaging there is met with a bit of surprise, but then Molly's more than happy to let the human continue, loosening the slight ache.
It draws that near-purr from him again, low and pleased.
The request for something about him has Molly chuckling a little, though. As long as it is true? ]
I don't know who my actual parents are. I've been with the circus for as long as I remember, and the ringleader was like a parent to all of us.
[ He's seen other scars on Molly's body, so he's not at all surprised that his hands also have a few. Peter isn't bothered by the roughness, it shows that Mollymauk's a hard worker, it's something to be proud off. It also Peter know that he needs to apply a bit more force to his movements. He wants to hear more of those lovely purring sounds, Peter enjoys being a dedicated partner. ]
Three things even, that's more than I was expecting. [ It's said lightly, but it's true. Peter would have been happy with anything -Molly's favorite color, preferred drink, shoe size..- but he got a more personal answer than he thought he would get. It makes him want to share in return. ]
I didn't know who my father was until four years go. To say it was a disappointment is an understanding, he brainwashed me, tried to kill my friends, and then he wanted to use me to take over the galaxy. Maybe you're better not knowing, Molly. [ Peter rests his head against the tiefling' for a few seconds, just breathing in his scent and calming himself. Thinking about ego hurt because he thinks of Yondu, it's inevitable. ]
The circus sounds fun. Did you have magicians? I always wondered how the 'saw someone in half' trick is done. or the bunny in the hat one. I always wanted to learn that as a kid, I wanted to have infinite bunnies.
[ If there was ever tension on Molly's hands there are no trance of it thanks to Peter's devotion, and the tiefling is happy to snuggle and make that pleased purr for his friend. It's a little amusing that the small glimpse into his world was more than the man had imagined, and it feels worth it.
Peter's own description of his father has him making a face and he turns over one of the human's hands in his own. Just holding it in support as he feels the breath in his hair. It's really nice, so he hopes that it helps at least a little. ]
I've never heard of those tricks before. Sawing someone in half, really? [ He chuckles. ] We had acrobats, a firedancer, a strongman, fortune telling and juggling... a little girl taming a great monster. Gustav, the ringleader, always wove each act into a an overarching story he started to tell at the beginning of each show, creating as much awe and laughter as possible.
[ Peter might like to boast a little bit if he's confident in his abilities, like about giving massages, it's because there's a degree of trust to them. He can feel Molly relaxing and it both makes him happy and proud that he can accomplish that. When it goes down to it, he's quite the sucker for pleasing his partners.
Ego is always an upsetting subject, even if Peter was the one to bring him up, and he gives Molly a soft, appreciative look after the tiefling holds his hand in a show of comfort. It does help, a kind touch always makes Peter feel better. ]
It's only a trick, they don't really hurt nobody. Acrobats are much more fun. And I love a good story, I think I would have enjoyed to see all the performances of your troupe. If only we had a circus here too. [ Peter pauses, before adding with a cheeky grin. ] We do have plenty of clowns.
[ Molly holds that hand for a little while, his long fingers exploring the lines and divots in it, tracing any scars carefully while they talk. He's pretty much a lap tiefling now, relaxed and happy while speaking to Peter.
It makes him miss the carnival again, but there had been no point in going on... and he would have never been with the Mighty Nein if they didn't all break apart. ]
The Knot sisters were great. They put on these snake costumes and flew through the air, climbed poles and danced in silks. I was taught a little, it was fun. I think you would have liked all of it.
[ There's a snort from Molly at the last part and he makes sure not to poke his horns anywhere dangerous while he laughs. ]
Quite an overstock on clowns, indeed! They would be terrible on show, though.
[ It brings a special kind of calm to be like this, relaxed but also sharing comfort, and Peter too is enjoying the way Molly's long fingers move over his palm and the back of his hand. He wears gloves often, but Peter has the hands of a worker and slightly rough at the fingertips from years of using his blasters and other types of guns. ]
They sound amazing, I'm in love with anything involving the arts, more so if it's fun. [ He wouldn't mind it at all if Molly ended falling asleep on him, they can just do nothing and enjoy the sunlight. Peter's pretty content right now. ]
Possibly...unless we throw pies at them. I don't know why that was something people used to do back in the day. What a waste of a good pie. Remind me to cook you something one day, maybe crêpes.
I should show you some of what they taught me. [ Molly says with a smile, half-dozing in the cuddle by now. This is great, he's exhausted after the training and nice and warm in the sunlight with someone he trusts. ]
Sounds like a terrible waste of food. Throw mud at them instead. Just as funny.
[ He yawns and closes his eyes. ]
I would love crepes. Sounds amazing.
[ It makes him a little hungry, but he's just so comfortable... a moment later and he has dozed off on Peter, chest rumbling with content purrs. ]
Maybe some other day then, you did plenty of exercise today. [ It's made more obvious by the way Molly is clearly tired and practically melting againts him. It makes Peter smile, and he only hums in response to the mud suggestion. It's a good one, practical, but he's trying not to make much sound because the tiefling is clearly sleepy.
When Mollymauk does end calling asleep, Peter smiles even further and tries to stay as still as possible. This is a nice way to spend the rest of the day, and he too closes his eyes soon enough. ]
