Percy would have felt bad if she had forced him to back track. If she hadn't been heading that direction she could have just told him that she was actually going the other way. It probably would have happened too, as Jackie chuckled, the feathered creature flapping her wings indicated her pleasure. Percy smiled and pet the pokemon on the head as tucker hooted in delight. She turned to follow him, easily able to keep up. Though it was also easy for her mind to wander, looking from the ground off to the distance. Anywhere other than her current walking companion as she tried to conceal the nervous energy she had. The worst thing would be for anxiety to take her over when she had a potential friend in the mix.

"Well, then I'm glad that I can offer to be your friend." she responded to his welcome to the club. Percy on the other hand... didn't really care either way. Friends became a hassle for her somewhere along the lines so she avoided that for some time. However reading various things told her lack of social interaction was bad. In order to make a good connection for her breeding it was also important for her to learn to deal with these things. His last comment though, had her smiling. He had it almost spot on. "Well they don't exactly come naturally to me." she muttered then. Percy had a bad habit of paranoia when she got too close to others. It cost her a lot of her high school connections.

"I locked myself in my apartment and wrote books actually. From sixteen until now... that makes it five years. That's how I made my income I only went outside when I had to get groceries." When she thought about it. It actually was a bit impressive wasn't it. She hadn't thought of it as an accomplishment. While she would end up going hungry some nights, it was well worth the freedom... despite the problems that presented themselves to her now.

Well she didn't want to dissapoint him. Though it seemed like she and Kyle had something in common. She was calm enough around him so there was that. She looked at the path ahead as she listened to him. Smiling as he called her a writing prodigy. "It's nothing like that, my dad kicked me out at sixteen. Writing was the only thing I knew how to do so I forced myself to try and make money off of it." She scratched the back of her neck. Thinking back on it she did suppose it was impressive. However, it wasn't something to seek after. She had dark nights and more essentially she had demons she never shared with anyone. Sometimes she couldn't even avoid them like she tried. As soon as Kyle asked about her writing, her eyes lit up. One of her favorite subjects.

She blushed though at the mentioning of romance, it was her favorite subject but that was a secret. "Anything really! Romance, Mystery I've written it all. My favorites are fantasy though, I'm just no good at horror is all." she'd never been able to write something scary really. She felt like the words just didn't go down right. Though Percy could definitely write some scary things - her novels weren't so strict to one genre especially her fantasy but they still derived off of reality at times. "If you've ever read anything from the author Article then that'd be me." she laughed with a wide smile on her face.

Not necessarily to her, she's bought books she thought would be good only to think they were trash and unable to refund. It only took a couple of suckers to get some money. Then again Percy would like to think there were some genuine fans out there. Like that retired cop she'd talked with, how that had brightened her spirits. When Kyle began to speak of her work, Percy simply listened. She smiled and remained calm - things like this didn't bother her. Critique and opinion were what made an author if she had a disdain for it she probably wouldn't have made any money. Although, him trying to catch himself made her laugh a little. "There's no need to feel bad for talking bad of my work Kyle. Well I wouldn't entirely call it bad - critique's important in what I do." she smiled and looked forward. "I don't have some big publishing company to back me up so getting my foot in the door is hard. I was desperate and that's the only reason I pushed my novels so much. My first series was probably the worst set of stories I ever wrote. I took too much time cramming information down readers throats rather than telling a story." so it wasn't ass if she was off bars from mistakes.

"I'll try to look up some character building classes, and now that I'm travelling more often my settings should get a little better. Half the reason their so bad is because I rarely went outside most of my information came from talking online, watching movies and what not." Percy was a lot more comfortable talking about her stories than anything else. It was hard for her to make friends but would she dare consider Kyle one? "Oh that reminds me.... could I have your number." she tried not to blush, she just liked to keep in contact with people she enjoyed being around. Making her cross her arms as Jackie chuckled on her shoulder.
