Fair enough, Percy knew not to pry into a young lady's intentions or thoughts. Lissy would skin him if he did. But it didn't stop his worry over Elsie. Instead he gave her a sympathetic smile and allowed the conversation to move on with a smile nod and 'ah'.

"Certainly. I'd be enjoy that." Percy gave her a kind smile and then looked down at Lily, "And Lily will be thrilled." Lily wagged her tail again and yapped as if she knew what they were talking about. Noting the stick near by Percy picked it up and handed it to Elsie. "If you'd like to do the honors?" He let go of Lily's leash so she might be able to better run and play with her new friend.
