Percy wasn’t sure he’d call himself a knight, he had simply been doing his job, but the lady’s compliment saw a faint shade of pink creep into his keeps. “Just doing my job Miss.” He told her a tad gruffly, uncomfortable with the conversation it showing as he shifted on his cane.

He did, however, completely understand her comment of books. “I find the best adventures sometimes come in the form of books.” He agreed, quick to change the subject, an actual smile on his face. Perhaps calming the lady would be easier than he anticipated. As long as she didn’t continue fawning over him. It reminded him of the nurses after the troll incident and he hadn’t been comfortable that either - especially as he’d just destroyed his friend’s livelihood.

The lady was astute as well! “Indeed.” Percy agreed with a nod. “If you wouldn’t mind waiting around, I’d be greatly obliged.” Then he wouldn’t need to find other witnesses or start attempting to track the owner down either.
