( Gwen showing up does have him out of sorts, that's a fair assessment. he and Stiles haven't really talked about it, though it's no doubt bound to come up sooner or later when they're all in the same room for at least five or six hours a night. it's still stuck in his throat, but it's only fair they talk about it, and they will.

is it so wrong that he wanted something a bit lighter-hearted with a friend today? maybe, but even Spider-Man can be selfish sometimes.

he laughs despite himself at the reaction he earns, though there shouldn't be anything funny about the fact Stiles tried to save him, even when he's super-powered and arguably could be left to face the worst with the expectation he can at least survive it. it's kinda nice that Stiles still likes him enough not to take the risk. though when he acts like this, one has to wonder why. )

Sorry, but you should have seen your face. ( he doesn't flinch at the h word, he knows that isn't true. ) Oh yeah? Shove me into a potentially anti-matter contaminated well? That's harsh man, I am at least part human still. ( it doesn't look it when he leaps to the rim of the well, maintaining effortless balance as he peers down to the basin. it isn't safe to just jump in, but... ) I could get a sample if you keep an eye out for me? ( he's clearly not suited up, but it just seems the easiest way to get down there... unless Stiles wants to lower him via the bucket, and that seems like a lot of unnecessary work.

though, granted, it'd be safer than climbing, actually. he just pointed out how dangerous it could be, and he's still willing to risk falling in... mostly because he doesn't seem to care as much about his health and safety as his friend does. )
