I don't believe that Deucalion ran away with his tail between his legs at all. I think that he was still reeling from the sudden restoration of his sight. I think that he is taking a moment to reflect before making any decisions. As others have pointed out, he is a planner, therefore he doesn't act without thinking things through as thoroughly as he possibly can. It is important to note that he wasn't beaten at all. It looked to me that he was sitting there still in shock when Scott and Derek gave their speech, he was merely listening to what they said while getting used to his returned sight.

As for Peter? I agree mostly with what Ravensong says. Peter is really a tragic figure IMO. He has sat by and done the dirty work of the Hale family for far too long and was passed up time and time again to be the leader of their family. I think that he suffers more than he lets on.
