Percy let out a small chuckle. "To some it would probably be fun," he began, "but it was rather a little too chaotic for me. Don't get me wrong, I love my siblings and my parents, very much so. But where you would have enjoyed someone to team up with you against your parents, more often than not, it was them teaming up against me." He shrugged, a gesture which showed the memory didn't hurt as much as it once had, having been softened by time and the death of his brother.
He nodded. "Excellent. I'll keep you apprised by the journal should arrangements become firm."
His attention was pulled away as Lucy rushed over, Christopher in tow, with her hands dirty and holding a large bouquet of flowers. He wanted to chastise her again, but the look on her face was so hopeful - furthermore, she'd learned quite well since these ones weren't uprooted like the previous ones, the stems had been broken outright. With a look that told her he was on to her but wasnt' going to say anything in front of the others, he took the flowers from her hands. She was going to be the death of him. "I believe half of these should be yours," he said with a look to Lisa.
