[Otto reaches out to take the bottle as soon as it's held out to him. There's no hesitation there, no reason to second-guess the gesture. ...Well, until that joke. That's when he freezes for a moment. He'd really hoped no one else had overheard that conversation. He can't even bring himself to be mad about it.]

Iced tea will do. [He twists the cap off with one quick motion.] I'm just worried that... being Spider-Man will come at the expense of Peter Parker. He could've lived a normal life all those years, but he didn't, and the amount of terrifying situations he's been in as a result can't even be counted on both hands. And I know we can't protect him from that sort of thing, considering the very nature of this world, but... I just don't want him to forget he's a teenager above all else.
