Name: Percy de Rolo III
Date: Septeril 14
Format: Video

[ Percy is visibly in the forge, no surprise there, but it doesn't seem like much work is getting done. He looks more than a little manic, not quite able to sit still at the moment. And also like he may not have slept much recently, which might explain it. ]

Alright. I wasn't going to...[ he takes a breath and makes himself settle. A little. ] I've been hearing a lot about bonds recently. And obviously, I can only speak to the Witch side, but for that, I'm going to tell you a secret.

[ He leans forward a bit, mostly to make the point. ] You don't need one. If you want to bond, by all means enjoy yourself, but my gods don't let anyone convince you that you must have one. Going without may not be pleasant or comfortable or even particularly safe, but it is possible. I've managed without for well over a year, and I--

[ Whatever he is gets cut off by a deeply unimpressed woman's voice somewhere in the background easily overriding him: ] Percival, what the fuck?

[ And Percy's eyes shoot wide with maybe just a hint of panic before the video abruptly ends. ]

[Video] Over Percy's Shoulder

Yes. They are.

[ Firm tone shifts to something more personable as Vex pops in, peering over Percy's shoulder. ]

Hello, Maria. You're looking better.

[Oh hey, a two-for-one deal.

She's not really surprised, but she does quirk that same injured eyebrow a little. It's sore, but it isn't entirely in danger of splitting back open.
] Now I'm curious to see what he's really capable of.

Good afternoon, Vex. I am no longer infirm, and that may be the best thing I can think of. It was getting to be rather [horrifying with the hallucinations, lonely, and maddening] unpleasant. [Close enough.] I'm glad to be up.

So long as you're prepared to wait for him to get at least a full week''s worth of night's sleep first, I've no doubt he'll have something new to surprise you with.

[ She smiles, leaning forward to rest her chin on Percy's shoulder a moment. She may even stay there too, until such a time as he shrugs her off.

Her smile falters a little, however, at the mention of unpleasantness]
I suppose resting further at home would be better than at the hospital. A familiar space, and all that. But so long as you're taking it easy while on the road to recovery..

If it's yet so necessary, then all the better. [God, she could use an entire week's worth of sleep, honestly, but, she supposes, she technically already got that.

Yet, she wants more.

Thanks, depression.

Much as I don't want to, I don't have much choice. My hip was in such a bad way, they didn't even want me walking on it for a while, and I can still feel it pinching if I'm on my feet for too long. It'll be a little while before I can totally get back out... to say little of when I can fight again.
