“Right,” he murmured to himself, straightening his posture as though preparing for something far more official than an evening in. “Comfy clothes. No chaos. Perfectly manageable.”
A pause.
“…Probably.”
Percy stood there for a moment after she left, still slightly stunned, his fingers brushing absentmindedly over the spot where she’d kissed his cheek.
He let out a quiet breath, a faint, disbelieving smile forming as he adjusted his sleeve; something to ground himself. --
“Yay! I’m so glad. I will see you soon, okay?”
Amaryllis smiled happily as she kissed his cheek before going off to do a few last minute things for them.
I’ll have you know my personality is meticulously organised, not ‘colour-coded out of existence.’
And really, if the Wood family tried a clipboard once in a while, you might reduce incidents of… impulsive life choices.
“measured life decision” he says like he’s never colour-coded his own personality out of existence.
God forbid anyone in my family does anything without a clipboard and emotional repression.
Ah yes, because nothing says ‘measured life decision’ quite like a Wood family impulse.
Though, if it’s any consolation, I’m fairly certain no one required a detailed explanation of the… process. That particular image was entirely self-inflicted.

Charlie snorts, shaking his head.
“Right, because nothing says surprise like a colour-coded index and a Ministry-approved risk assessment. Let me guess, labels in triplicate?”
Percy hesitates, long enough that it’s obvious he’s overthinking, but the corner of his mouth lifts despite himself.
“Comfy clothes. Right. I… can manage that.”
He clears his throat, softer now.
“And if you’ve planned everything, then, well, clearly it would be rude not to --
“Of course. I promise you. 100% no chaos. You know I always have everything planned out and perfect. Bring comfy clothes! That’s all I ask. Everything else is taken care of.”
Amaryllis smiled happily to herself as she waiting for his response. Hoping he’d come.
