The Never bird and Mrs. Darling both love Peter for his baby teeth. Peter is unalterable because he forgets everything, or perhaps it is the other way around. He is like the cloud made up of all children, whose ranks change but who go on existing forever. He is as incorruptible as an idea, and as changeable as the sea.
Peter’s devotion to the idea of fairness is a cipher for his emotions, an inscrutable quality that could indicate either kindness or heartlessness. Perhaps Peter saves the Never bird’s eggs because he can see her care and anxiety, and because he can imagine how she would suffer if the eggs drowned. But perhaps he helps her simply because she helped him, because the rules of fairness require it. It is not necessary to feel anything in order to follow a rule.
