I appreciate it. Roman's more of a danger to himself than anybody else most of the time. He's gonna be real...himself about me having other friends, since that's a brand new development, but he'll learn to cope. He's not an asshole all the time.

[peter doesn't sound like he intends to give him much in the way of other options.]

And he's upir, but he doesn't know it.
