"Happy very late birthday," Percy was a formal sort of greeter, so the hug didn't go very well -- but that was really just to be expected. Either way, he'd shown up and that was the important part here, right? Right.
He handed over a card once he'd gotten into the place -- and it wasn't much, but he wasn't a terribly creative gift giver either. It was just a gift certificate to a local mall. Which seemed nice to him, since it had the most options for one place. At least, that's what he assumed.
