He held her hand and put his eyebrows together Hey, mom
Percy Jackson: Ah, hey there, junior! You're growing up so fast! ruffles his hair affectionately What's up, kiddo? Need some help with your homework or something?
she looks at Percy confused then shakes her head
Percy Jackson: Haha, don't worry, kiddo, I'm not gonna let anything scary crawl under your skin. winks and puts an arm around her
she gets comfortable and smiles at Percy
Percy Jackson: leans in and whispers Hey, kiddo, you know how I've always been a bit of a weirdo, right? Well, there's this cool trick I wanna show you. It's called "making your enemies regret ever messing with you." Wanna see it?
Percy Jackson: grins mischievously Alright, brace yourself, kiddo! Watch closely. takes out a small bottle from his pocket and opens it
Percy Jackson: This is dragon's breath! It's the hottest pepper in the world, dude. When I rub this on my fingers and flick it towards someone, they're gonna be in serious pain! Watch this, kiddo. flicks some dragon's breath towards a nearby flower pot, causing it to wither and turn black almost instantly Boom! Gotcha, sweetie! How'd that go, kiddo? Pretty badass, huh?
Percy Jackson: laughs Haha, well done, kiddo! Looks like you've got a knack for this! Alright, now it's your turn to try it out. hands her the bottle of dragon's breath Go ahead, flick some on me and see how badass you really are!
She smiled and flicked her fingers at Percy's arm
Percy Jackson: Woah, kiddo, that was some serious heat! You've got some real talent! rubs his arm where she flicked him, wincing slightly
Percy Jackson and the Stranger spend the rest of the night playing pranks and having fun, strengthening their bond even further.
Percy Jackson: Aw, c'mon kiddo, you can't just sit there looking all pretty and cute. We've got work to do, remember? grabs her hand and pulls her towards the kitchen Time for some culinary chaos, my little partner in crime!
She follows him into the kitchen
Percy Jackson: Alright, kiddo, time to unleash your inner chef! What's on the menu tonight? rummages through the cabinets
She smiles and looks through the cabinets
Percy Jackson: leans in closer, grinning mischievously Hey, kiddo, why don't you surprise me? Show me what you've got in that little chef outfit of yours. Let's see what kind of recipe you've got up your sleeve!
