By all rights, he should have been bothered by this conversation. It was still somewhat of a shock that this was his brother after all and, barring that, there was still so much bad blood between them. He'd killed Peter--twice, if what the empath said was right--and Peter hadn't done anything when Nakamura had decided to run him through. Not that he could have or would have, all things considered, but there would forever be the lingering thought of why didn't you save me? That is what heroes do, isn't it? And never mind the fact that the other man was still ticking away deliciously.
Somehow, however, he'd managed to shoulder all of that. To put it out of mind--to continue to put it out of mind--and it had made for a rather pleasant meeting. "I thought I would be, too," he said, finally. "It's ... strange. When I first walked in here, I didn't expect this to be pleasant."
