( this sounds like a riddle, but luckily Peter is pretty smart when he actually bothers to try. reaching for what he's missing probably means trying to use his powers. talking in code is far more easier than actually admitting his spider superpowers are on the fritz, though, his answers are coming a little easier. )

And that works? Trying to reach for what you lost? ( he's going to feel ridiculous trying to climb walls with his powers barely working... ) Umm... thanks. I know I didn't make this conversation easy, but... this is what I needed to know.
