[ he gives villanelle a moment to answer bruce: he's interested in the answer, too. his own thoughts remain with kraven, with the last hallucination-slash-vision he'd had before waking up in central park, the one that kraven had taunted him with. the one that kraven warned him that there was no way of knowing if it was premonition or imagination.
whilst the sun outside is setting and the church should, in theory, be darker than it had been when they first entered, the increase in candles is a sudden, valiant attempt to create a little more light. peter's never been good with surprises — part and parcel of being, ostensibly, difficult to surprise, at least negatively, which means he stiffens; a mild look of distaste and discomfort grace his features, though he manages to remain silent, at least for a moment.
it's not always a deliberate ploy, spider-man being funnier than peter parker: sometimes it's simply that the mask hides the minutiae of his expression. for all intents and purposes, peter's an open book — his emotions are almost always plain and easy to read, if not in his face than in his mannerisms and his body language. now it's hard to deny that he's less than happy with the situation at hand. the design beneath the pews is — well, it's certainly something, and as peter moves towards a second bench, ready to lift it again with bruce, he looks up at the ceiling. maybe it'd be easier to work out what it is from up there — easy enough for him to do, less easy for him to explain.
perhaps there's a feasible vantage point slightly higher up. ]
