Peter remains with him in the quiet, resting a hand on his arm as Dipper sobs quietly. It hurts to think of all he must have been bottling up for it to come out like this, and even now, he keeps it quiet even when he doesn't have to. He doesn't say anything about the wet spots either, leaving it for the both of them to act like it never happened. They're just two people hanging out in a cave together.

"Yeah, the whole not-physically getting older thing while your brain continues to mature and know a whole bunch is- It would be hard. You spend half your time trying to convince people you're old enough to know."

There's a pause then as he tilts his head. "Not that age ever has anything to do with that, with having it all figured out. I've met some adults who... were pretty clueless." Peter can be pretty clueless about some stuff too. It's not easy figuring all that out at any age, but it's a special kind of difficult when most of the world doesn't take you seriously because you look young even though you're not that young.
