[Peter taps a pair of fingers against his lips for a few moments, considering the question. This is a bit more serious, although Peter's demeanor is still relatively untroubled. He doesn't seem to be taxing himself much to come up with a cover story.]

Is your clout enough to convince them to accept another immigrant, or should I be aiming to present myself as an Olympian already?

[The latter may be slightly more difficult, as he isn't aware of Olympia's ins and outs. But they should be able to manage something between them. But if not:]

If it's the former, then we're childhood friends of course. Unfortunately we've been separated for - well, however long you've been here - but you've been writing letters home trying to convince me to move and I've finally been able to cobble together the funds.

[It's relatively simple but solid. Without more time to prepare and research, Peter thinks it will hold up nicely.]
