...the fuck is up with that. "Immortal great-grandfather" hypothesis getting uncomfortably probable.

Eventually Eric and Tae-hwan show back up, not looking at all disheveled, which of course means nothing when you can spin in the air and become perfectly put together.

Finally! 

"Heeeeeyyyyy Eric."

"Hi Peter."

"Hiya."

"Soooo I've been kinda curious about something. Alexei is a pretty uncommon name, isn't it?"

"...I guess?"

"It's also what Lucas's father was called, right? ...one of Lucas's fathers."

"...yeah, that's Alexei."

"As in... the guy Zach just married. That's Lucas's father. Zach just got married to your great-grandfather."

"Yeah he did."

"Okay uhhhh. Alexei looks really well-preserved for his age."

"Oh he doesn't age."

"Why... I mean how? Can I get in on that?"

"Oh it's because he's the Grim Reaper."

"I'm sorry what."

"Alexei is the Grim Reaper."

"Oh is that why he's scary?"

"Yeah, but he's nice. He's a softie."

Peter... is out of words.

Lol no he's not. "I thought the Grim Reaper was a skeleton?"

"He looks like one when he's reaping."

"Oh. Okay."

"He's not that scary! Honest!"

"So when Zach said they'd known each other since they were little did he just mean that he was little and Alexei was already, like, around as your great-granddad, or...?" What the fuck is happening here. Just. What the fuck. How is someone's granddad the fucking Grim Reaper and then they get married????

Is this a prank. This might be a prank. Honestly actually it says a lot about how fucked up Peter life's been over the past... has it really only been one week... that this didn't occur to him as the first possibility.

"Oh, no, we've known each other since we were all kids."
