No physical injuries, no. Thanks to her healing, he's fine. Emotionally .. less fine, but. Something to deal with later. Not immediately.
"Thank you," he says, his voice soft. "Just - I've got this, I think." If he can't talk to his uncle now, after everything, then something is really wrong. He's glad Orihime is here to help him through this, but he also wants her to rest for a moment. He can take it from here...
He turns back to his uncle, swallowing past the lump in his throat. It really is him, isn't it? He'd known the whole time, from the first moment he'd seen the scars on his uncle's neck. Nothing else could have copied them quite that perfectly. They're burned into his mind now. "I'm okay," he manages somehow, his voice wobbling and weak. Just. Reaching out for his uncle with one hand now. "Look, I'm not hurt. I'm all right."
He'd been hurt, though. Orihime healed him and cleared the dirt and blood from his face, but his clothes are a mess. Multiple slash marks, tears, stains ... He's been through several fights with Ben and he looks it. Ben would have to be blind not to see it.
Peter keeps talking though. He's hoping to find strength as he goes, but really he feels more and more like he's about to burst into tears. "I - I did way worse to you. It's my fault you're ... " He stares up at all of Ben, this horrible monstrous state he's in. Dead and turned.
