[ The state of the apartment is, believe it or not, an improvement compared to those first weeks that Peter had been staying here, occupying the space more like a ghost than anything real. Thanks to a couple of neighbours who routinely check on him, he actually has clean dishes now, and unspoiled milk in the fridge. There's no longer piles of trash littering the floor anymore, either.... although Johanna might spot an empty chip bag or two here and there.
The living room is an odd state to be sure, though. A couch and whole mattress take up most of it, with the latter placed right in the middle of the floor, a few dirty clothes draped over it. Seems like this is where Peter sleeps, and changes... which is probably extremely normal.
....The hallway isn't much better, with all the chairs from the small dining space pressed against shut bedroom doors, like they're trying to keep something locked inside. (Also probably extremely normal.) The only door that isn't kept shut is the bathroom, but further inspection will show that there's a shirt draped over the mirror.
He's totally fine.
Peter slowly shuts the door behind the woman, turning to kind of nervously, awkwardly follow her inside. Look around...? He seems initially intimidated by the idea, eyes widening suddenly, but in a beat or two after he realises that yeah, okay, that's probably.... to be expected. When an exorcist is coming to look at and ward one's home. They would probably want to have a look around.... ]
Sureβ yeah. I uh. Yeah.
[ He nods, hesitating so that she can lead the way and wander where she likes. But after a moment he voices a question that feels dumb even to his own ears, but.... look, he doesn't know what exorcists can do! Maybe they can Perceive things! ]
Can you uh.... like sense if there's something weird in here?
