It's Oli's job to make Percy happy!
At that moment, Comet took the opportunity to start yapping, drawing Percy's attention down to see the puppy between them, looking expectantly. Percy smiled and looked momentarily at Oli, telling him, "I know", before bending over to scoop Comet up into his arms. "I think I'm safe, though. Thank you for thinking about my feelings."
Comet wiggled in Percy's arms craning his neck so he could try to happily lick Percy in the face, though Percy was avoiding it.
