I don't think that Percy would take it well if he gets the idea that Dad's been talking about their conversation with others. (Although he HAS, at least to me). You know how prickly Perce can get. Judging from what Dad says, he's very prickly in general right now. So if you approach him, try to do it without letting on about that little tidbit.

Maybe your pawns should go into war manufacture. Fu could probably use their talents.
