[ Percy wrings the towel vaguely rope-like and drapes it now across his shoulders as though he’d just gone for a little dip into the ocean and hadn’t just been covered in two separate brands of animal saliva.
He laughs now, shaking his head with such clear fondness in his voice when he speaks. ]
Of course she did.
[ He suspects that it hadn’t just been a quick ‘did you know’ or brief ‘fun fact’; it had, instead, been a whole thesis presentation with slides and diagrams and one of those 3D models she likes to talk about sometimes. He’s pretty sure he’d seen some of that on Daedalus’ old laptop before it died a tragic death. (RIP Daedalus’ Laptop.) ]
So I take it they’re always this friendly, then? That’s good. I’d hate to be on the bad side of one of these guys.
[ And that’s all well and good, and Percy’s absolutely made it his goal to befriend Antoni the way he’s already planned on befriending Mary (whom he reaches down now to give a couple of scritches behind the ears), when Cassian mentions blue milk. ]
It’s blue? Like it’s naturally blue? What does it taste like? Does ‘blue’ have a taste for these guys?
[ Look, it’s not that he’s excited, okay, it’s just that — okay, no, he’s excited. The only way he could ever have blue milk back home is if he added a couple of drops of food colouring to a glass of regular ol’ dairy milk. And that’s awesome, and he might be guilty of it, but for a milk to come out naturally blue? So freakin’ cool. ]
