( He just keeps examining Peter's face, prompted further by the fact this seems to be okay with him. Whatever the scary thing is in that bag, the scary bright thing, Peter himself must not be very scary.
In the moment, he has no idea what biblical or monk mean, but they're associations he can use to further establish Peter's identity. Peter is biblical. Peter is a monk. The other being nods as though this all makes perfect sense to him, and rubs his palms back over Peter's cheeks, towards his ears. It almost looks like some.... peaceful massage. Almost affectionate: and indeed, after a few moments, he starts kind of... petting Peter's face, lovingly. This feels right, too. Maybe someone's done this to him, before. )
I don't know. ( He admits quietly, but he doesn't seem upset by it. There's a great big missing piece, but he has some acceptance of that....at least in the moment. Who knows what might upset him later on? )
But my name.... I think it's rather biblical. ( He just.... imitates the exact way Diarmuid said that, even copying his tone of voice. It's not unsettling at all. But if Peter's name is rather biblical, then he wants his to be, too.... )
