I used to have a lot of these kinds of shirts back home. I found like one or two of them around, but I need to like recreate ones I used to have.

Hah, that's the sort of project I'll encourage with heartfelt enthusiasm. [...] You should see if you can make one for Bruno as well, some time. He's a big fan of cheesy puns.
[Normally, he'd include Norman in that sentiment as well. Right now, however, he doesn't feel comfortable saying his name in front of Peter. If Norman ends up getting a pun shirt as well, it'll be 100% Peter's decision.]
no subject
[It's Peter who does bring Norman up, be it slightly hesitantly. He doesn't want to ruin the mood, but he can't pretend Norman isn't important either. Norman is someone they both care about.]
I had bought like, one of these kinds of shirts for Norman way, way earlier, so I thought it'd be cool if you guys matched. I made him a different stuffed animal, since I thought that'd be cool too.
no subject
He'll love that, I think ...What sort of animal did you make for him?
no subject
Not... exact matching shirts or anything. I tried to find puns in both of your fields. [Given what Peter knows of what happened, he feels a bit bad about matching.]
I thought he'd like an axolotl? Its kind of silly, but I thought he'd like the animal.

Yeah, they're these cool salamanders that live in water. They have these cool like side gills. [He tries to imitate that by placing both palms near his face, wiggling his fingers. The addition of his whiskers wiggling just adds to the picture.]
I thought it'd be cool to make one for Norman. It can do the same cranky face thing too.
no subject
The gill imitation triggers a chuckle, though. That looks so ridiculous, especially on rat features, but Otto loves it.]
I don't know how he feels about salamanders, but I'm sure he'll appreciate the gesture either way.
no subject
He drops his hands back to his sides as he continues.] It's this really gradient rainbow that's soft to the touch.
no subject
It sounds like you know a lot about this. Will you be starting a business in stuffed animals?

[Is Otto saying this because crafting plushies is a safer hobby than crime-fighting? ...Yes, but he also thinks the plushies are nice.]
no subject
[Peter is decidedly unaware Otto is trying to steer him in a direction that isn't super hero-ing. He assumes since the stuffed animals aren't immediately perfect, its not worth going after.]

I guess I'll keep it in mind. Probably weird if Spider-Man made plushies anyway.
no subject
no subject
I guess that's fair. I just... man, what would I even do with them? Like... give them away? Keep them?

Hmm. What's your favorite animal, anyway? It's not spiders, is it? [Is he asking for future gift reference? ...Yes, but also he wants to know.]
