Peter has delusions of grandeur: he wants to control people. Valentine understands that Peter is using the warlike persona as a way to control her--she will need help from Peter understanding Demosthenes' point of view--but at the same time, Peter now needs Valentine to in order to write as Locke. In fact, both Peter and Valentine will become more moderate in their views after writing in the guise of people with opposite opinions. Valentine admits that she has started occasionally thinking like Demosthenes, and soon she can write his pieces without Peter. Peter also seems to pick up how Locke would think and write, and it is reasonable to assume that Locke's "personality" has softened some of Peter's more ruthless characteristics. Even so, from the beginning Peter and Valentine may have had more in common than they ever thought. More generally, the ability to think from the perspective of one's enemy is essential to peacemaking, and in battle against the buggers, it will be essential in war.
