Greek Commentary for Mark 14:54
Here Mark uses the constative aorist (ηκολουτησεν ēkolouthēsen) where Matthew 26:58, and Luke 22:54 have the picturesque imperfect (ηκολουτει ēkolouthei), was following. Possibly Mark did not care to dwell on the picture of Peter furtively following at a distance, not bold enough to take an open stand with Christ as the Beloved Disciple did, and yet unable to remain away with the other disciples.

Periphrastic imperfect middle, picturing Peter making himself at home with the officers Probably he did now one, now the other, in his restless weary mood.Warming himself in the light (τερμαινομενος πρως το πως thermainomenos prōs to phōs).

Mark mentions this fact about Peter twice (Mark 14:54, Mark 14:67) as does John (John 18:18, John 18:25). He was twice beside the fire. It is quite difficult to relate clearly the three denials as told in the Four Gospels. Each time several may have joined in, both maids and men. [source]
