"Huh. Still kinda sounds like you didn't have a choice." To begin with, anyway. But maybe that's just what mage families do?? Weird.
Anyway, Héctor gets a bit of a blank look at his comment. What does he mean, helping with stuff like this in the future? Didn't he just say that he's not the best person for dealing with Ben? Unless - oh. The lightbulb goes off finally. It's not nearly as large of a concern right now, though, what with his uncle apparently out to kill him.
"I'm okay for now," he says, rubbing at the back of his neck. "I don't sleep well at night anyway. That's why we were outside anyway." Or at least why he was; Héctor is a night owl for obvious reasons. (Though Peter finds himself drifting more and more towards being nocturnal as they go on here.)
But - if Ben's done for tonight, he's going to try to sleep. God knows he's tired enough for it now.
