[Winston makes a mental note of Venkman's lax supervision over his pokemon. That'll be something worth keeping in mind depending on how hostile the other members of his roster are. Might have to remind him to put them back in containment before they wander off again. ...in fact, he feels like he should say something about it right now, but...]
[It can wait.]
[Preoccupied by his elation at Peter's presence, a familiar sense of stability that's deeply welcome after how off-balance he's felt these past couple days... for a moment, Winston can believe that despite everything, he can still rely on Peter to be the same he's ever been.]
[Seeing that watery glint in his eyes stops that particular stint of cognitive dissonance dead in its tracks.]
[...he still hasn't been able to internalize the amount of time they've spent here. He's not sure he'll ever grasp it. But if Winston felt he should stop himself from trying to fix someone's troubles because they're beyond his understanding, he wouldn't have signed up to be a ghostbuster in the first place.]
[He kisses under Peter's eyes, silently acknowledging the tears in a way that also reinforces that it doesn't in any way diminish his feelings for him.]
Still hard to believe this is happening, huh? [He asks with a reserved tone, speaking the words in a way that reveals the intent behind the question isn't simply meant to reveal Venkman's thoughts, but to share his own.]
