[ Yeah, unfortunately, Percival has a tendency to take everything a bit literally.

He thinks he sees hesitation in Richie, and he almost tells the other man to forget it, he can find out what this is all about later, but he doesn't look like he's apprehensive because of him. Why is he looking around like that, as if he's waiting for someone else?

Also, it's a good thing to have no concept of drinking age or anything like that, because maybe someday Percival can add "alcoholic" to his impression of "filthy thief" for Akira. ]

Are the effects similar to alcohol, then? If so, that won't be necessary. I am not the type of man to overindulge. [ Or indulge, really. Today's something of an unusual day, and it's likely because curiosity is winning over common sense.

He considers Richie's question once they've purchased their goods. ]

I don't live here permanently, as I live in Olympia at the moment. So I have also been living in a... "crapheap", as you put it.

There is a nice-looking area with a pond nearby that should work well enough. Follow me.

[ He begins to lead and just kinda... assumes Richie will follow. ]
