Walter lets out a nervous chuckle. "I don't know what exactly I'm supposed to say, man; you're clearly aware that certain things might sound pretty gay to me... though that's your business... but I'm trying to understand." He's turned in his chair attentively by now, no stray attention on the jigsaw puzzle. "So it's like how you care about him is different from the other relationships around here."
As opposed to, say, the extent of physical affection... There are some options of saying "we weren't gay" that Pyotr is very much not taking... oh goodness...
"Or is it really something else? Afterwards if things were a lot more peaceful, you might want some marriage that wasn't with him or anything?" Walter is trying so hard!! He is trying to speak the language and refer to traditional marriage rather than just box Pyotr into the idea of straight instead!!
