As self-deprecating and guilt-ridden as Peter is, he doesn't actually enjoy seeing it in others. Especially not from Adam, a man who Peter can no longer offer much pity to -- a man who seems to ask for all that he gets. His own sympathy is starting to wear thin at the moment and he sighs, making it back to dry land.
"Maybe, but you can do it to yourself when i'm not around to stop you. Alright?" He offers Adam a side-long look, a slight hint of anger beginning to creep in under the wire. He rescued Sylar from his own pit of despair, he should be just as capable to rescue Adam, even if he's not out to save the world today.
His own feelings don't need to get in the way, no matter how badly they want to, and Peter's desperately trying to leave them back in the water where he doesn't need them anymore. But Peter is still, no matter how much he'll always hate it, always fueled by emotion and he waits because Adam always has a story to tell. And he's not going anywhere until the other man has it out of his system.
