[Whisper Roll - 16] (Percy suddenly grabs Grace by the wrist, dragging her back behind the beige, muddy tent on then little island he was sitting at. Once out of sight from the others, he starts whispering to her.) "I know you want to trust these people, but I have to tell you it is a terrible idea. First, they're lower than us. We're prince and princess, we don't need their help. Second, do they look trustworthy to you!? That robot is a total jerk illegal in Divinia for a reason, that beast is quite literally a wild beast, those siblings have all sorts of weird gizmos and unseen powers, and those last two we just met! So just come with me and we'll solve everything together." (He grabs her by the hand, his once clean pale hand covered in mud.)
(Grace is surprised, and tries to back away.) "Um, but--"
(His grip becomes uncomfortably tight as he gives a manic stare. His eyes seem to flash a different color for a moment, some light shade of red.) "JUST COME WITH ME, GRACE."
(Scared, Grace simply nods.)
