[ Certainly hearing that does make her consider the fact that Peter might have some very specific tastes when it comes to transportation. She nods, deciding that while she's only ever traveled the way she has due to convenience, she can still see how it could be cool to someone who has never had the choice.
And as he speaks, the first thing her feeble brain focuses is on is the mention of public property being destroyed-- she's far too familiar with destroying things that aren't hers. Usually more than tables. She's close to making a good-natured comment about how them being able to destroy things increases their compatibility until she really process the first part of his sentence. ]
Jump? From a building?! [ It comes out as a shout, catching the attention of the people across from them. They give her the most concerned look imaginable before she swings her head to lock eyes with them, and instantly they turn back to face each other... Maybe it's the way she's staring at them, or maybe, it's the fact Juvia's hat in her grubby little hand is now crushed from the sheer pressure of her grip.
Even though it makes little to no sense to be worried about it now, she still can't help but ask, ] Peter... Why did you start from a building?? What floor?!! [ in the most hushed tone she can manage. ]
( Juvia absolutely has a point. with their powers combined, all private property should tremble in fear. if it wasn’t bad enough to have your belongings spider-slammed in an emergency, then surely finding them soggy to boot would only make things worse. hopefully the two of them never decide to turn into human wrecking balls purely for the sport of it, because Olympia and Wyver both would have a lot of repair bills left unpaid.
he’s not expecting the voracity of her reaction. clearly, neither were the other occupants of the car. Juvia intimidates them back into silence but Peter’s expression is fleetingly apologetic when they determinedly huddle back into their own conversation. he blinks, trying to soothe her even if the incident she’s so concerned over is both already over and hadn’t hurt him in the first place. )
Okay, well, it wasn’t my first first thing. ( does that help??? no????? ) I flung myself around the roof and onto my skateboard a couple times first. Then I jumped off the roof. Carefully.
( this is all true, except the carefully part. but maybe it is more reassuring if he mentions having some degree of consideration??? )
