*At the sound of his name, John yelps and grabs a pillow to cover his lap.*
*He tries to argue back with Peter but the other man disappears before he can get a word out.*
*John considers his options. He could demand that Peter concede. That would likely escalate the war and do far more damage than initially intended, but at least John's pride would be saved in the short term. On the other hand, John could play along with what Peter wants and end the war so they could go back to having tea and let the children see Peter again.*
*John picks up his phone.*

Peter,
Since the conflict has reached a conclusion, I would like to ask when you would be free to visit for cake and presents.
