[Peter's desk usually requires a great deal more subtlety than the 00 agents come with, so he hasn't actually worked with Bond before. He's been a fixture about the place for years, of course, but primarily works running deep cover agents, turncoats and moles. Bond's face is a little too high-profile these days for him to work much with Peter Guillam.
Which is why it's peculiar that he nods a greeting at him, on his latest trip through MI6. He doesn't so much as bat an eyelash, and his heart rate is steady, but Peter is feeling a thread of anxiety, a very real tremor of a man keeping something important secret. Not just in the abstract sense that they all are, either; Peter is lying about something, right now, and needs to catch Bond's attention in a big way.
All at once, the emotional turmoil vanishes, tamped down behind the powerful shields that all the operatives of Peter's caliber have trained into them. The exposure had been calculated, deliberate, a definite come find me later where we can talk. Here, in this building, the walls will be crawling with ears.
He communicates as much of this as he can with just a split second of eyecontact and one flash of sentiment. Then Peter bends back over his notes on North Africa and can only hope he's made enough of an impression.]
