"They're not incompetent," which he manages to make sound like it's some sort of fantastic compliment, droll as ever. "Keeps me busy, anyway, without taking away too much from my extracurriculars." If Peter were to wonder what the fuck kind of extracurriculars he could possibly be referring to when he doesn't appear to leave his room without his arm almost literally being twisted behind his back, that would probably be fair enough but also indicates how much Peter may not actually want to know.

Not that it's that bad.

At the moment.

"I could see you as a mechanic." There's a joke in there somewhere, probably.
