"You're full of bull if you think just anyone would have broken it up." Briefly, he was serious, and the look in his eyes showed that. Only Simon had looked towards his cries of pain and managed to get the thug off him who had taken advantage of how wasted he was that night. He couldn't remember well about how it started, some damage had been done after all by the time Simon had found him, but he wasn't sure he wanted to remember, either.

"Job well done, you." He laughed with that, dissolving the brief seriousness, and decided that sip of wine looked like a very good idea and matched it himself.

"...JC was the one that got you fighting?" That actually brought a bit of confusion to Peter, who hadn't known Simon before - no one but Judas did - but he couldn't imagine Simon has anything but a fighter, one way or the other. "But, yeah! I'm really excited! I want to see more places, more people, make their lives better... see if we actually can make a difference."
