Percy, with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, guided Vivienne to a quaint little boutique, where a display of fluffy, bunny-eared headbands caught their attention. The pure white, velvet headband, with its cute upright ears, looked like something out of a fairy tale, designed to charm and delight.

Grabbing one, Percy turned to Vivienne, his eyes glimmering with amusement.

Vivienne, however, was unimpressed. "Not my style," she said curtly, already moving to explore the rest of the shop.

Percy caught her wrist gently, his voice light and teasing, "I bet Isolde would adore this. I'll get it for her."

A flush crept up Vivienne's cheeks, her embarrassment palpable. "You're becoming quite the joker," she remarked, half-annoyed, half-amused.

Percy just ruffled her hair affectionately and steered her through the maze of the shop.

Next, he picked up a plush toy, covered in green fur and with an odd, yet endearing shape, and handed it to Vivienne.

"It's soft," she commented, holding it. Yet, the toy didn't pique her interest.

"Another gift for Isolde, then," Percy said as he tossed it into their basket, his tone still cheerful.
