Percival tilted his head and looked at Vivienne. "Vivienne, I'm gentle, right?"

"Yeah." Vivienne nodded earnestly, "My Mr. Wolf here is the gentlest gentleman on earth."

Percival's smile deepened, and he whispered to Leopold, "Come on! Eat up so we can head to Fariana Isle soon!"

Leopold, nearly in tears, pleaded, "No, please! Percival! Have mercy, I won't ever think about cutting ties with you again!"
