[ peter gives the shelf a cursory glance: taking any of the tools as a weapon isn't a thought that seems to occur to him (or: it does, but if it comes to it, he'd rather rely on something a little more discreet).
he does, however, inhale as bruce raises a finger to his lips in an effort to shush the two of them. for now, bruce has a point, though it's not because of him that peter remains quiet — it'll be a different story, undoubtedly, when they finally hit the end of the tunnel but for now—
well, he's not wrong.
peter huffs a breath and heads back up the stairs, waving a hand over his shoulder dismissively. ]
I've got it.
[ there's not a whole lot in the church that can be used as a prop short of the candles and the bibles, so he opts for the latter over the former. they're more for decoration than anything else; he shoots a cursory glance back down the stairs before opting to help the trapdoor stay open with the aid of some webfluid (don't say he never does anything for anyone, alright). the books can be moved, but good luck shifting the webbing before it dissolves.
once that's done, he pads back down the stairs and joins back up with bruce and villanelle; a moment passes.
he looks at villanelle, then he looks at bruce.
look, just because being silent is a good idea, it doesn't mean he's not going to struggle with it. ]
