Poor Peter. Alleyn is one of the few people who really understands about Shakespeare, and they used to be able to talk about it for hours, but now there is this reserve around Alleyn whenever they meet... and of course Peter deals with it by heaping up quotes and acting ever more foppish, which surely only alienates Alleyn more.
There's perhaps some extra angst to be gotten out of this if Alleyn were ahead of Peter in school, so that Peter has always looked up to him and striven to please him. The timelines are elastic enough to make this possible, I think?
