That's true, but you tend to get a bit out of hand when Vane happens to say something that makes you upset, heh. It's not entirely impossible that you might have an accident someday.
I have no doubt about it. I've slept outside for many years, after all.
I do not. And even if I did, I know how to aim my fire so that it only hits him and him alone. You seem like you're trying to goad me into testing my fire abilities on you.
[ Why is he like this? Percival pauses before he finally responds to the rest, trying to chase away any residual embarrassment from reading those last words. ]
Well, you got your offer, though it would have been quicker if you had just asked.
Ah, is it too late to tell you that I also enjoy your company very much?
No, I've been fortunate enough to have hatched a relatively well-behaved dragon. You know, I recall being told that the creatures would take on their parents' temperament.
No further south than yours has sunk. Keep your focus on dinner and dragons. I'll be making something as part of my recompense. This should make us even.
[ "Something decent", he says, probably fully aware that the words still hold little actual meaning to someone like Siegfried. In the end, he decides to show up with an outfit Percival picked out himself, after they'd first arrived, figuring it had to be a safe choice.
Glasses and all, of course, because we know what we're about around these parts.
He's learned better than to show up empty, too, cradling a bottle of wine in one hand while the other knocks on Percival's door. ]
[ Why does Siegfried pick today of all days to be suspiciously well-dressed? Percival isn't sure what to say, gaping in surprise that he took his words to heart before suddenly yanking him in by the collar, closing the door, and pressing Siegfried back against him to greet him with a kiss.
...Right. They have dragons to care for. He plucks himself away reluctantly and straightens out Siegfried's glasses for him just as his own dragon decides to fly its way to his shoulder and land there like a parrot . ]
You happen to be just in time. Tonight's menu is -[ what did he make again? Siegfried rattled his brain loose. ] -just go in and have a seat! I'll open the wine.

In truth, I just wanted you to offer.

Yes, but this was more touching.
You needn't worry. I'm not going to burden you unnecessarily, I can construct a makeshift door for now.

Besides, you're the closest thing that passes for dignified companionship on this floor.

[ is he teasing? yes, very much so! ]
no subject
[ His eyes narrow at that last statement... not that Siegfried can see it. ]
Are you implying my dragon is ill-tempered because of me?
no subject
I didn't say that specifically, but it does make one reflect a bit, doesn't it?
no subject
[ Wait, too late he sent that- ]
Not that I'm saying I'm hard. You know what I mean. Don't make a disgusting comment.
no subject
I wasn't going to say anything of the sort. Is your mind wandering?

But you're right. I will keep an eye on them. We wouldn't want to lose your door, too. We've also yet to see whether they will get along.

And mine has learned the difference between things it should burn and things it shouldn't burn. Take care not to end up in the first list.
