[ Concern isn't an emotion that Green's familiar with. Certainly, he's had his sister, the ever constant presence in his life, the one person who probably loves him a lot more than he realizes - and he realizes plenty of it already. Regardless, outside of that? It's not often that someone shows concern like this - there are his trainers at the gym, who, from time to time ask where he disappeared to the last couple of days, but don't press it when it sounds like he won't answer. There's his grandfather, who -- well, he's busy enough already.
So especially in a state like this, Green's not sure how to react, entirely.
To be fair, he's not emotionally stunted. He recognizes concern when he sees it, it's just ... surprising to see it come from Peter (because the texts to a dead man weren't concern, nope). This is just the hardest part. ]
I saw the message.
It's not a joke - Cortana got transferred. [ "There's a difference", he wants to say. But somehow he might be fixating on the wrong thing. ] Do you know what the punishment is?
[ He still sounds calm, because he can hardly believe it himself. He knows it's not a game, and by this point he should probably be angry; but he can't find it in himself to be, not when he feels so numb about just about everything in his life at the moment. ]
