Percival took every word to heart and while he appreciated them, he wasn't quite ready. He couldn't see past his own awkwardness - that instinctive feeling he rather be better off not doing that then try. However, Mataoka wouldn't be so cruel as to toss him to the wolves because they were like him. Perhaps another time he could try to say hi but today wasn't going to commit to the first baby step. The Rito was more interested on what Mataoka had to say and he thoroughly enjoyed what he had to say so far.
"Ah, I see. That does bring new light me and I know if I were to join, it be for something more than gems and baubles. I'd like to chart the oceans, be the first person to map the entire world for what it has to offers. And to be honest, you're the first person I actually brought it up to." Perci spoke solemnly, somewhat hesitant just by the slight quiver of his voice. Initially, he wanted to bring it up to his father - someone at least tried his best to understand his son but it usually doesn't go exactly the way he plans them. His mother often intruded and puts him down. He didn't want to go through with that again. Then, he thought of Idra - the only other person he talks to on a regular basis when he finds himself back home. But... she worries a lot and with the amount of stress she goes through on the daily, it felt as though it was something he shouldn't bring up. Idra was over-protective and even if this trip benefited him and the pursuit of his passion, she would try to talk him out of it. In her eyes, he was still a fledgling - untested and fresh to the world.
Or so, that's what he thought. There were times he over-think things, these scenarios that he questioned time and time again on whether she would return his affections or really saw him for who he is....
Perci was doing it again - the multitude of thoughts invading his headspace. So he took a deep breath and tried his best to refocus.
"Do you think I should take a chance? I might never come back at all."
