That's not what I'm saying. [He rolls his eyes and soon presents Val with a cup of coffee.] I'm saying that you should ask around and see what other people say. That's all.
[He sort of rolls his eyes to the ceiling.] Sometimes they don't go far enough when people think you cause trouble everywhere you go. But I feel that way about other people.
I'd believe that. [Eventually he joins Val at the table with his own cup of shitty coffee, focused more on the warmth than anything else.] You haven't been getting into too much trouble here at least. You're off your game, man.
You ever think we're gonna run out of stuff to fight in there? I keep thinking about what we haven't uncovered yet but how the forest doesn't seem to like us exploring. [Not that that's going to stop him, but you know.]
Maybe. I just wish we had a better way to map this stupid thing.
[...] Speaking of. I got something I want to show you. [Off he goes, brb. He'll return though with what looks like a map in his hands, handing it over to Val.
...or. It's a map to Percy. To Val, it looks like a weather piece of parchment. Tada...?]
What? No, dude, look. [He points at Siren Island which is definitely just a blank spot on a blank piece of paper for Val.] This is the island those sirens were on. Minato and I went back later to explore.
Are you kidding me? [This is asked toward the ceiling to someone they probably can't see. Thanks a lot, Mr. F.] It was a quest reward, I was kind of thinking it'd help us.
You think? [He's still looking at the map, letting his fingers walk across the parchment.] This is the town. The island's over here. Those are the only places I've been so far. It's kind of a big map though.

He takes the coffee and cups his hands around it.]
I suppose I could. I've already given things to my two favorite people here.

[This is a very surprising and shocking development to him.]

Of course you are, Percy.

[The heat seems palatable now, so he takes a sip.] Kindness and loyalty are things that go far, no matter where you come from.

[Percy likes people with similar traits, they're good ones.
But then he chuckles.]
I assure you, I can find my own trouble without anyone interfering.

[And until the forest physically throws him out he's going to keep going into it.]

... I believe this parchment is keyed into you. I see nothing on it, but you clearly can.
