Shut up, Petrelli. But it was thought with a sudden smile.
The accent was just one of the many qualities Matt liked about Mohinder but he hadn't really thought about it until now when it was pointed out to him. The teasing in Peter's mental voice actually served to put the affection he felt for the man at the forefront of his mind. He watched the way he held Molly and how his eyes focused behind those glasses and listened to the words. It was good news, really. A shot at turning things around. A month was a long time, but ...
But it was no longer up to him. And that was a relief.
He glanced at Peter, thinking along those lines. They no longer had any obligation to help.
"So that's it, huh? You could go back to your family", he said with a gentle inflection. "See your nephews. Your mom."
He'd have no objection if Peter wanted to stick around - he'd grown quite fond of the younger man and appreciated his company and suspected he would even moreso when they weren't perpetually in danger - but he'd come back to his family. It was only fair Peter should get to see his own.
To Mohinder, he added, "I don't really care how things are run so long as people get help. If I can help with that, then ..." A gesture. New York had become personal, somehow. He knew a lot of the people that were struggling there even if only by their faces. "But I want to make sure we stay together this time. No matter what."

No matter what.
