Jason's instinct is to glance at the door -- and God, if he doesn't feel stupid for that, because taking a friend's hand in the hospital isn't exactly obvious. But it's Peter, and it's hard not to feel like anyone who sees them touching is going to know. As if anyone who matters doesn't know anyway.

"She mentioned." And then dropped the subject, because it wasn't long after Jason had woken up and he'd freaked out at the idea of having that conversation with her already, but he's not going to bring that up. For all he knows, Nadia already shared that part. "They said that I shouldn't be here that much longer." He doesn't sound excited at the thought. Wherever he's going next is most likely going to be worse.

He squeezes Peter's hand lightly, and looks away. "I thought about calling. I just... I didn't know if you'd want me to."
