Glad to hear that the other man had gotten something he could really defend himself with, Peter was tempted to ask him about that instead of responding to Roland's own inquiry. Roland had probably asked merely out of courtesy - returning the favor - but Peter did feel compelled to answer.

"Well, yeah... you remember that guy I told you about? That enemy of mine?" Roland had already heard the whole story, and Peter doubted that Sylar was very easy to forget. "I ran into him again last night."

That was certainly an understatement, but explaining all of it wouldn't be easy. Being powerless like this - no, he'd had some power, but he hadn't been able to use it properly - was harder than he thought it would be.

"I was with a... friend," he added. Maybe Roland could infer from there.
