Common misconception. It's Percy, actually. ( sorry for your loss, abigail, because he's here to waste your hecking time. or make a friend? obviously he's hoping to branch out and score some companionship out of the words, but not everyone feels that way. not everyone enjoys the word-making. )

...Hi. ( he doesn't offer his hand for a shake ( what are they, old??? ) but he does hold it up in some approximation of a wave. it's a classic case of wrong place, wrong time and he assumes she's not calling him stupid. he's going for funny or at least ridiculous but he'll accept other interpretations. ) Is it the vegetables? Pretty sure I've had this same discussion with a plate of cauliflower before.
