The moving thing that had been talking to him was now lowering itself across from him. Oh, a chair! That must be it, it was a person, sitting in a chair! The idea was suddenly so ludicrous that he couldn't help but let out a giggle.
"I'm bossed?" he asked, again confused, and laughed some more. "Not so much anymore. My boss is a nice boss. He doesn't boss me like my other bosses used to boss."
It made complete sense, to Percy at least.
"I'm fine, swell," he replied, laying his head down on an arm folded upon the tabletop. "Just... don't tell my boss!" This set off another set of giggles that had him shaking from head to toe.
