There she went, more positive, re-assuring words. Claiming there was a reason for people to be around Percy. Like his lying, his attitude, his indifference, the very smell of his unwashed, alcohol soaked clothes. Yeah, so much to miss out on, Percy wondered why no-one got close to him. Although now, he was beginning to wonder why people were suddenly getting close to him. Like Delilah, and Nanari here. It perplexed the boy, how Nanari seemed to believe in some sort of innate kindness to the Prince, but then again, she was so very, adorably naive. For the sake of her efforts to make him happy, Percy did give Nanari a smile for her remark, not trying to slip his hands out of her hold either. Percy was just fitting his hat when he looked to Nanari a little confused. "What? You said I was humouring you for the day, I'm just going with whatever you want here, Nanari." Percy replied, before smirking a little. "All right, lets say if something happens, I'll go back into the past approximately ten seconds from now and tell you I don't want to go." Percy said, then went silent for ten seconds, eyes drifting to the ceiling. Once the time was up, he clicked his tongue, "Nope, I think we'll be fine." He said, with another smirk, god they seemed to cost so much more effort to do when Percy wasn't drunk off his head. He followed Nanari up to his feet, following her outside. He kept a good look on everyone around, until the flash of light next to him, and Nanari revealing her wings. He didn't know any Angels, nor had he met one yet, so even Percy himself was surprised by their sight. Everyone around either didn't care, or smiled sweetly at the sight. Angels were so rare, and nowadays, some people believed seeing one around was a sign of good luck. Percy acknowledged Nanari's words, glancing around again before focusing on his magic. His feet slowly lifted off the ground, Percy perfectly balanced as they did. "I think I'll be fine, just try not to hit me with a wing." He replied, waiting for Nanari to lead.

Nanari patiently waited the ten seconds before laughing, she hoped he was being serious and things did turn out okay, she wouldn't know if they didn't after all. But she would humour him. "See, told you things would be okay." Nanari knew that in some places getting her wings out wasn't a good idea, very few Angels were left, and not everyone was as nice as the people around here. Some stories, whether they were true or not, had people capturing the Angel for their wings, a rare thing right now. But again, she knew the people around here were trust worthy, and those not would have others to stand up to, so she didn't fear it, even if her wings were larger in comparison to others. Looking to Percy as he began to float, Nanari gave a smile. "Just don't follow too close then. I'm good in flight, but I have only even flown with other Angels or Demons, and they are use to keeping out the way of others." Nanari didn't fear hitting him, she went out often another with mother to know what she was doing, and trained another with father to avert from hurting another in flight. Looking to Percy quickly, knowing he would likely keep up, Nanari set off, heading to the middle of the Rycora forest before flying up into Aura. The best place to find a flight route away from people. She didn't want to scare Percy off.
Landing about ten minuets later, Nanari gave a sigh glad she was right about how none were around. It was a small lake she brought him to, one of the surviving plots from the war, its life had grown around it, making it near impossible to find if you weren't looking, but Nanari did, and she also found a spot hidden under the willow tree in the middle of the lake where she and Sky set up a sort of meditating area. Someplace calm with things to help one relax that they had read about. No minds to overhear around here, and a calmness to the area in which she hoped Percy would appreciate. "Here we are, middle of the lake under the willow tree if where were going, I have something I want to try with you, to see if it helps to relax your mind. But feel free to look around. All you'll find at the moment is the wildlife."

Percy didn't fly often. Just like he didn't use any of his powers often. As a kid, he'd loved flying around, racing off somewhere and watching with glee as his parents tried to chase him down with less than amused expressions on their faces. Now, flying had lost it's spark, much like a lot of things, as Percy's head became over-capacitated with noise and pain. But, it felt like stretching one's legs after sitting down for a long time, feeling himself become weightless as he floated. He gave Nanari a nod, following not too close behind her as she flew. Baransu became just a blur behind them from the speed they travelled. Percy wouldn't admit struggling to keep up, but Nanari didn't kid about how fast she flew. Manipulating gravity could make Percy fly only so fast, but Nanari and her powerful Angel wings could probably go twice his speed, if she wasn't trying to be a guide here.
Enjoying the peaceful route chosen, Percy was a silent observer of the islands around him, and the one Nanari chose to land on. He could look around without worry, he couldn't take in the past of a land like he could a person, so it was all new to him, what was displayed on this island of nature. And, it amused Percy as he thought on it, but this island reeked of someone like Nanari. Peaceful, bright, and full of some sort of natural joy. Percy really felt like some dark core just standing here. "It's refreshing." He admitted to fill in the quiet. "Not just coming up to Aura for the first time, but seeing something... new, for a change." Percy added, before walking over towards the lake. It was almost completely still, ripples only forming as fish of shades of blue and gold swam through it. His brow pushed together as Percy thought on Nanari's words, turning to her with a little smirk. "Something you want to try with me. Nanari, dear, you aren't going to take advantage of me, are you? Just because I promised to humour you for the day?" Percy asked, smirk remaining, a hint of actual enjoyment to his eyes accompanying them.

Nanari loved it here for the peacefulness, and she didn't show many this spot for the hope it never came overcrowded. She would often sit around the lake with a book, or just talking with the wildlife and watching the water. "I find something new every time I come here. Its pleasant to see something so surreal, this has got to be my favourite area to come to." Her and Sky would often sneak down here just to chat about everything, and more then once had someone had to drag them away, though they always seemed to understand the implications of this place, and remain peaceful until they were far away. Looking to Percy with an amused expression at his question, Nanari put a hand over her heart and tried concealing her smirk as she replied, though that was a futile attempt. "My good sir. How dare you think that I would ever endeavour to take advantage of you?" Nanari gave him a smirk before she slipped between the trees and leant on a branch to watch him. "Besides, even if I did, you said so earlier that we would be fine, as you agreed to come with, so obviously you wouldn't be so appalled to such a thing." Nanari gave him a chuckle before putting her hands behind her back and smiling. She was only messing with him, and she hoped he realised that, she would rather do anything else but that to him, though she was willing to have a laugh, if he was enjoying it too.

Percy wasn't going to ruin the mood, or the success Nanari no doubt felt about bringing him to somewhere he liked. But, Percy had technically been here before, seeing it through Nanari's past. But for once that didn't factor into things, Percy was seeing this place for the first time as himself, and it was a far greater comparison to just watching a past Nanari see it. As himself, he could take a breath of the fresh air, formulated to be so natural by how many plants were around them right now, and he could appreciate the quiet, the sound of soft winds. Then there was a scream. Percy thought it might be some sort of bird from Aura at first, looking around subtly. But, with a pound hitting his head, he cupped the side of it with realisation. Yes, as nice and quiet as this place was, it didn't stop Percy's head from fighting around. He hissed quietly against the head-ache, brought out of it when Nanari wanted to discuss his previous remark.
Percy let his arm drop, glancing to the side where Nanari stood amused, teasing Percy a little. He shrugged, giving her a little grin, "I'm easy pickings, it all makes sense. The help and support, all part of your little plan, eh?" He joked, raising a brow over to Nanari. He believed anyone could show signs of sin sure, but Nanari was certainly not the kind of person to show that side of wicked intent. He had enough faith in this adorably naive Angel to know she wasn't going to try to trick him like that. Percy turned around, watching Nanari hand around the trees, looking oh so innocent. Percy almost snorted, "You have a point... Maybe I'm looking forward to this fine opportunity." He replied, with a little wink, before looking towards the willow tree. He had a minimal interest in that kind of thing. Feeling that way for another person was probably impossible for Percy. No one significant remained in his life for long, so he never bothered to feel anything towards them. His head pulsed again, Percy rubbing it as he sighed. "So, what actually is it that you wanted to try?"

Nanari gave a little giggle behind her hand before smiling at Percy, eyes twinkling. "But of course. How could anyone deny such a pretty face of what she wants?" Nanari tilted her head to the side and gave a pout, hoping to prove her point, even if it was all teasing. She didn't exactly get the chance to do this with others, and it was a little bit of fun for her. "It all comes to truth now, lure in the sweet innocent girl, make her believe she's doing the right thing before pouncing... So very devious Mr Percy." Nanari held in a laugh before skipping back over to him and looking to the willow tree. "I know its going to be a lot to ask, and I understand if you don't. But I'm still asking. Will you put some trust in me for this?" Taking his hands in hers, back to the water and the willow tree in the middle, Nanari gave Percy a smile as he answered. "Just close your eyes, listen to nothing but my voice, clear all other thoughts, pay attention to only me. Can you do that, or at least try?" Nanari waited not a second before she closed her own and began to slowly and calmly drag Percy back with her, each step closer to the lake. And Nanari walked backwards, carefully as her feet touched the water, nothing more then a few ripples taking over the smooth tides... It was why she loved this place so much, a serenity of peace that just expands upon each second. The water for example, enchanted or so she believed. Allowing one to walk upon her if trust is placed, if you can show a calmness that deters all others.
"Just keep your eyes closed, relax and take each step one at a time. Like nothing matters but your own beating heart and each exhale and inhale of your breath. Feel it, don't live it, don't let it control you." Nanari kept talking as they crossed the waters, opening her eyes half way through to watch Percy, and when they reached the willow tree, Nanari released one of his hands to hover above his eyes. "Don't open them yet, but I want you to put a little more trust in me and kneel down." Nanari followed him, before moving behind and covering both his eyes with her hands. "Now I want you to breath in, forget everything else, just tell me what you smell, each small thing, no matter what it is. And then I want you to listen closely, tell me what you hear, not in your head, but here and now." Nanari moved her hands before kneeling in front of him hoping he would continue to keep them closed before breathing in. "Now open your eyes, and tell me what you see, what you feel within, not what you think, but how you feel."

True Percy didn't really know why he agreed to humour Nanari, to do as she wanted. He told himself it was to repay her for saving him his job, but Percy didn't care whether his actions earlier today left with a job or not. So that wasn't it. Perhaps Percy was just curious, towards his own opinion on life. Because for the years he'd captured other's memories, learnt the cruel ways of the world from them, he'd never met someone like Nanari. Innocent was just an understatement, there was more to it than that. Percy confused himself really, he didn't understand why he chose to follow Nanari around, nor why he wanted to. It was against what he usually did, he never got close to someone to hold a conversation with them, let alone follow them to Aura, joke and jest with them. He smirked, "Ha, looks like you've caught me then." He replied.
Percy was having fun just teasing, but his head said otherwise, and Nanari soon grew more serious. She wanted his trust, that made Percy's smile drop very quickly, giving Nanari the same sort of disdainful look he'd give a complete stranger. Trust wasn't something Percy gave. His parents barely had his trust, and he'd known them eighteen years. Percy didn't do trust, he did curiosity, caution. He believed anyone and everyone had the capability to betray him, so he didn't bother putting any faith in them. It was how he was, indifferent, trusting no one, not even himself. But... something in Nanari's voice, the warmth in her hands that made the young Prince realise how cold he was, made him simply take a deep breath, and nod his head.
Consent given, Percy did as he was told, not resisting as Nanari helped him step forward, and only giving her a slight frown before closing his eyes. Closing his eyes was the easy part, as was listening to just Nanari's voice. Clearing his mind however, that proved to be a challenge. Without his vision to distract him, Percy had no defence for the uproar in his mind, memories going to war over being remembered. For a moment, as Nanari walked him forward, Percy dropped out of his own consciousness, locked in the memory of someone else's. He was a city urchin, some orphan kid lost and alone on the streets of Baransu, stealing gold and dignity to feed himself. For a moment the memories of this one little urchin felt so strong and crisp that Percy was certain they were his own, until he heard a voice again, and like a slap around the face it forced him to focus on his own existence, remembering himself as Percy again. Percy couldn't just keep dropping out like that, his eyes flickered, almost opening, until he remembered his instructions and kept them sealed. If he couldn't distract himself with vision, then he'd just have to think on a certain memory, one that was his own. Because she'd brought him back into himself, Percy thought on Nanari, just replaying some of the words she'd said to him before now, over and over in repeat. Gradually, just her voice was all he could hear in his mind, all the other uproars drowned out, and the boy relaxed a little. He then paid attention to Nanari's actual words, drifting into his ears, her new request of him. And easier task then to clear his mind, as Percy nodded slowly, listening to the soft whistle of air he breathed in and out, his heart reverberating around his body, heard as an echo in his head. He focused on listening to it, slowing down his breathing and musing that, as if in tandem, his heart beat also slowed down. Percy didn't note where they were walking, at one point he felt his feet dip slightly, before the ground seemed to right itself, letting him walk more.
He was busy focusing on the two simple things, practically asleep whilst standing, until his mind sharpened once more, hearing a new instruction. It felt a little too easy to give in to the command, Percy kneeling down almost immediately after being asked. For a moment it made him go stiff, breathing spiked as he didn't mean to give in so quickly, give Nanari even more of his trust, and Percy resisted the urge to open his eyes from discomfort. But as Nanari then asked, he tried to forget what happened, take in a deep breath and focus on what he could smell, and hear. Percy swallowed, his own voice surprising him from how quiet it had been for the last few minutes. "Something damp, like... soil. And there's a crisp hint all around, like fresh grass warmed up from the Summer's heat." He breathed out, almost chuckling bitterly, "I also smell something horrible, a mixture of bad breath and... drink." He added, before pausing, letting his own rather foul smell pass, "But there's also something sweet in the air, smells a little fruity." Soon after Percy realised that was just Nanari, unable to fathom how he hadn't realised she'd smelt just as sweet as that pie they'd shared, or the wine she enjoyed. Then came what he could hear, excluding what was in his head. "Nothing... just.. slow breathing, and a heart beat." Also Nanari's, something only the silence and proximity of the Angel could allow him to hear right now, and it was and almost soothingly soft beat. It hit like a stone to his chest, and something tightened in Percy's throat. There was no other noise, no voices, no thoughts of self-loathing, no worries or imprudent beliefs in others. Just silence. Hands from in front of his eyes moved, Percy still lock in this internal confusion to notice until Nanari asked him to open his eyes. Which Percy did, meeting a flash of bright light, and then focus as they quickly adjusted. His eyes usually sucked in more than Percy wanted, he saw another eyes and looked into their soul, further than he wanted to. He never cared to pay attention to the actual person before him, just their eyes, what memories rested behind them, and not what emotion was waiting on the surface. But, right now he locked his eyes with Nanari's soft lavender ones, and really looked. "I see someone... who might be worth putting my faith in." He muttered, a barely audible noise when coming from his tight and dried throat. The reason for his voice was evident in his next reply, accompanied by a single tear that Percy didn't know was there until it trailed down the frame of his face. "B-but... I feel scared."

Nanari almost cried as he put his faith in her, knowing that it was a difficult thing for him to do. But stopped them before they fell, as to make sure he didn't see her crying when he opened his eyes. She remained quiet as he spoke, letting him tell her what he could hear and smell, it was a way to get him to stop thinking, to focus on anything but the voices in his head. Its why she brought him here, so he had to listen and focus to tell her, so it was peaceful and clear, not impure like some of the world. Nanari gave a breathless chuckle as he told her what he saw, keeping in her own happy tears as she reached up to wipe away the tear that dropped, before taking his hands in hers once more and smiling softly. "To feel scared is a good thing. And there's nothing wrong with it. It means that you wont allow yourself to force your way into familiarity. It means you be more open with who you are and what you believe. And I know right now you may not fully believe me, but I promise I will do all I can to make myself worthy of the faith you may put in me. I wont lie, I may make mistakes, as all do, but I promise to correct them, and to do right by you... To do something the others before me haven't. I'll try, I'll be there for you when you need me the most, good, bad or ugly. Be it a shoulder to cry on, an ear to vent to, anything." Nanari hoped he would trust her with these words in time, knowing right now it was a lot to take in and a big change to what she guessed was before, but she would be patient, and give it time, she would do as she said, no matter what.

How could he betray his own resolve? It almost made Percy angry at himself. He didn't want to trust, but something was telling him to finally give in and give someone his faith, let them shoulder some of this forsaken burden he'd been crushed under all these years. He was scared because this was all so new. Percy was scared because he feared what might happen now that he'd said it, that he'd felt like Nanari was someone he could actually rely on. Something Percy had never done or felt before, so like many things, it cared the timid Prince, enough to draw one tear. He'd draw no more though, Percy wasn't one for crying very much anyway, it had just been the shock of the moment. Eventually Percy had recovered enough of himself to smirk a little. "So many promises..." He muttered, "And yet you hardly know me." He had to say, before the smile dropped. Percy really was a level of kindness above his parents. He stopped thinking of his own sake, and thought on Nanari's. To make promises to someone like Percy, someone dangerous, unstable, it was a lot. Percy didn't make any more remarks on Nanari's statement, not out loud. He took a deep breath, and a wince. There the voices were, creeping back in. He attempted to close his eyes, block them out by thinking on his heartbeat again, or what he could smell, but they still struggled to be heard. "I'm tired of this." Percy thought out loud, unaware he'd done so until seeing Nanari's reaction, and feeling as though he needed to be more specific now. He gestured to his head, "This is the reason I can't... trust people, it's the cause of pretty much everything." Percy admitted. Pausing only for a moment before chuckling bitterly, "There are times I think, how easy it would be, just to drive something sharp through it, that would silence things for good... maybe I'd get a second's peace before..." Percy stopped, swallowing hard, "This place helps... it doesn't get rid of them, but it helps me forget about them, just for a bit... so thank you for that."

Nanari gave Percy a look before tilting her head. "Do I need to know you to make such promises? I'm getting to know you, that enough for me to be there if and when you need me." Which was true, while Nanari did help as many as she could, she didn't make such promises to people without cause, and she had one here. To be his friend, to be someone to him other then his family, she didn't want him doing things alone anymore. Nanari's eyes dropped as she watched his smile drop, before forcing him to look at her. "Hey, turn that frown upside down. Your not a burden, I want to be there for you, I'm hoping you will let me be." She could tell where his thoughts were headed just then, could see it in his eyes, and she needed him to know the truth behind her words. She gave him a look though as he spoke about being tired, before eyes widened as he elaborated on it, before giving a sad smile and bringing him into a hug, as awkward as it may be in the position they were in. "I'm glad you didn't try to shut up the voices that way, otherwise I would never have gotten to meet you. And your welcome back here anytime, its open for visits, and if you happen to want the company, I'm always going to be available for you. And anytime, I mean it."

Percy huffed, smile returning. Nanari really was so naive, but she was so persistent and stubborn about it too. It was adorable to know that no matter what side of Percy she'd discover from her endeavour to get to know him as best she could, she'd keep her promises. Percy wondered how long it would take before she broke them, or left out of fear. Though for once, he pleaded with his mind not to think hard on it. For some reason, the thought of Nanari leaving now brought with it some amount of sorrow. She was a good reader too, it seemed, Percy blinking a few times as she read his thoughts. And his frown did vanish, the boy scoffing a little. "For the last eighteen years I've done nothing but cause grief. You're kind, Nanari, and boy are you stubborn. But you're also wrong. I am a burden, I know I am... it's no big deal, I've known I'm a lot of work since the moment I could walk. I just hope you know what weight you'll be carrying, if you really want to be around me." Percy explained. No, Nanari had done a lot today to enlighten Percy, but she wasn't going to change all of his beliefs, more specifically the ones about himself.
The hug was sudden, Percy as stiff as a rod in it, unused to these sort of things. But it was warm, another reminder of how cold and fragile Percy felt. His eyes dropped down to the ground. "I tried once... my parents stopped me though. Ever since then, any time I thought to do so, I just pictured them, how scared they looked for the first time, when facing a possibility of losing me. And since then I haven't dared to do so, I couldn't leave them." I suppose I couldn't leave you now, either. Percy thought to himself after his words drifted out. Percy managed a chuckle, "You just can't stay away from me can you? What was it, my handsome looks, or my charming, likeable personality?" He asked, some jest coming back to his otherwise gloomy voice.

gave Percy a blank look as he explained how he caused grief his entire life before breaking out into a smirk and winking to him. "Then it seems to me, your going to owe me an awful lot of pie, because you damn well ain't getting rid of me that easily." Nanari hoped to bring more humour to the conversation, to get his mind out of the bad thoughts, part two of her plan to help him forget, before listening to what more he had to say and almost frowning herself. "Nothing is more painful then losing a child, and even though its not by blood, your theirs, and it would have killed them." Nanari remembers her mother explaining the child she lost, and how heart broken she felt, she could see it, even after all these years. Nanari gave a chuckle however as he began to jest again, before giving a look and shaking her head. "Why not both? A girl can like what she see's as well as what she hears cant she?" Giving him a smirk, Nanari looked around, feeling a shift in the air. "I think people are coming, the air always feels heavier when that happens." Nanari stood up before offering a hand down to Percy. "Here, we'll head back to mine, its not too far, mother and father should be out right now on duty... You can help me bake a pie and some pastries for you to take home with you." Nanari wouldn't try to hide the fact she knew people were coming, knowing that Percy didn't want to be seen, and she hoped it would be enough to make sure he didn't panic either.

Percy's nose scrunched up at Nanari's jest. "I'm only just earning money, but I get the feeling it's all going towards pies, isn't it?" He asked. Of all things to spend it on. At least not on alcohol. Not that not paying for alcohol was going to stop Percy from drinking it, that was a mountain he might not ever climb over. Percy thought on his parents. They were strict, and in some ways mean. For a while he never saw them smile much, or do much other than train and keep him alive. When they found him, poison so close to his lips, he'd seen a completely different look to them. Fear, something Percy as a child had believed was an impossible emotion for them. But he'd seen it that day, and hated himself for ever making them have to feel such a thing.
Bad thoughts aside, Percy chuckled as things turned lighter. "Well aren't you easy to please." He commented back, watching as Nanari stopped to glance around. A place like this would have visitors, of course, so Percy simply nodded as Nanari told him others were approaching. He got up after her, with help from the offered hand, and looked around himself. He saw nothing, but perhaps this Angel had a few better senses than the Human did. Her offer was a typical Nanari one, if Percy was beginning to understand this odd Angel, so he nodded again. "Sounds like a plan." He muttered, before watching Nanari curiously, waiting for her to lead.

Nanari gave Percy a look chuckling. "Percy... The day I make sure you believe that your not a burden, is the day you stop paying me back in pies. Its my only pleasure in life under the training of my father who likes me to stick to a strict-ish diet to keep my skill on point." It wasn't entirely true, while her father was a little strict with it, it was only for show, and he would treat her and mother to things every now and then. It was herself who kept herself under the strict diet, only allowing one slice of pie a week... Or sometimes two, she never counted. Giving a wink to Percy, Nanari pretended to think on it. "Only if the guy is right of course..." It was light teasing, Nanari hadn't actually looked to guys in that way, knowing her father would have a fit of she did. But she hoped the day she realised she did, that it would be more personality she looked to, not wanting something based on looks alone.
Grabbing Percy by the hand, she began to lead him off, mindful of any voices or movements, in finding none, she turned when out of site to all. "May want to put hood on for a moment. It wont be long, and I doubt any will be around, but to make sure." It wasn't too far, a few moments of flying north and a ten minuet walk through the outskirts of the town, few out, and those that were not even paying attention, before they reached her home. Opening the door and leading Percy in, Nanari gave a smile to him, right when thinking her parents weren't home. "This is obviously my home. Feel free to look around, door down the corridor to the left, first door is out of bounds as its my parents room, the second is the bathroom, and the one opposite on the right is mine, the last door is a library, and mothers shrine so to speak, so be careful in there. I'll go and get stuff out for baking, yeah?" She knew they couldn't stay too long, as her parents fluttered in and out, but they had a few hours here to themselves without worry. Heading into the kitchenette, Nanari gathered everything for pie, well, her fathers recipe, knowing they had the ingredients and that for flavoured bread rolls for Percy to take back. "Ready to get your hands dirty? And clothes covered in flour?"

Percy huffed, "Then there goes any money I ever earn." He muttered, though gave Nanari a little smile. There was no getting out of his belief that he was a burden, and no one could prove Percy otherwise. One of many things currently looked in his mind, were the strong memories of causing others grief, just trying to handle the boy. Hell, even Delilah now, due to her kindness, had Percy as a burden to her and her job. But his mind wondered, as it always tended to do, so Percy focused on Nanari again, watching her get ready to move out, replacing his hat on his head and only flinching once at her attempt to hold his hand. He kept his eyes looking around, it was easy to notice him flying, since he simply floated through the air when doing so, which meant it only took a glance for someone around to get curious about him. But, the flight was short, which quickly calmed Percy's nerves down. He rushed into the house, just to get away from the outside, and brushed a hand through his hair to un-flatten it as he glanced around. He took a quick look around the main room, following Nanari's guide to the other rooms. He didn't move from the spot yet, just looking, until Nanari had vanished inside the kitchen.
Percy finally moved, doing a lap around the main room, looking at any hanging decorations, or trinkets, before walking towards the bathroom. He just spent a few minutes clearing his head again, head resting against one of the cool tile walls. Percy had glanced as his reflection in one of the mirrors, noticing the bags under his eyes had faded a little. Perhaps, a side effect of Nanari's magic on him earlier, he thought. Eventually, after washing his hands, Percy joined Nanari in the kitchen, looking at all the ingredients. He smiled slightly, rolling up his sleeves, "Alright missy, clothes are fine, but don't you even think about throwing flour at my face. I happen to like my hair." He threatened with a little smirk, prepared to do his best. Most of what Percy knew about cooking came from the memories of others, including Delilah herself, so he was surprisingly good, even if it was technically considered cheating.
