more lies!

"That-" He motions across the lake, towards the castle in the distance. "-is a place that I don't think anyone here has ever been before. There aren't any boats, and swimming..." Well, for one thing, Peter doesn't get on all that well with water. Not after almost drowning during his impromptu dip in the lake. He may not have a parachute to hold him back here, but he's not taking any chances. Especially not with what else lies under its surface.

"There's something that lives in the lake. Something big. I've only seen it break the surface a couple of times before, but I don't think any of us should be heading out there for a while." Even though he really does want to go explore the place. Sure, technology may be his thing, but the idea of checking out an actual castle is something he refuses to give up.

He turns silent then, his gaze sliding across to Bucky every now and then. As much as he may try to hide it, he's nowhere near as sneaky about it as he probably should be. But it's something he's unable to keep himself from doing. Even now, despite his own extra-curricular activities, Peter can't help but be in awe of the fact that he's stood next to a real superhero. Sure, they may have fought on opposite sides the last time they met. But he doesn't have a single doubt in his mind that he and Bucky would be on the same side against Thanos.

"You know..." He tucks his hands into his pockets, trying his best not to fidget. "Just because someone gets forced to do something bad, it doesn't make them a bad person." And with those last words and a sad smile that Peter moves off again, heading closer to the water's edge and kicking a stone into its depths. There's a part of him that's worried he's overstepped his mark. Afterall, he doesn't actually know Bucky. Doesn't have all the facts. But he'd like to believe, war criminal or not, that Captain America knew what he was doing when he took Bucky's side above Tony's.
