He blushed even deeper. "I... I guess it wouldn't hurt..." the gryphon said, his voice almost like a chirp at the moment. "W-what kind of tea would you like?"

Viola giggled a bit at seeing Percy blush again, it seemed like he was a timid boy. "Sweet tea please." She said, sitting down on the bed. "Would you rather chat on the deck?" She asked.

"That will have to wait until I finish my rounds if you want to go to the lounge room..." he told her with a hesitant smile. "I'll be right back with your tea, Miss," he said then walked out the door. He returned only a second later pushing a cart full of different tea-making supplies and tray full of tiny sandwhiches.
He quickly prepared her tea for her but didn't bother making any for himself.

Viola nodded. "How long does it usually take you to finish your rounds?" She asked when he had returned. She did frown when he called her "Miss" again, she never liked being called anything but Viola. "Also, please do just call me Viola." She said calmly, with a small smile.

That was another first for him: calling a passenger by their first name, and he really wasn't sure how to react. He didn't want to directly disobey her, but at the same time it felt extremely weird to call her by her first name.
"I-I don't think I should do that Miss Viola..." he told her quietly, "I-it would be impolite of me. And I have to go check some rooms in this hall before I'm done with my rounds..."

Viola sighed, deciding that it was a hopeless case. She nodded at what he said. "Alright. If you still want to hang out, I'll be on the front deck later." She said with a smile.

"O-okay..." he took the cart full of tea items and walked away.
About an hour later he walked into the lounge deck and looked around for Viola.

Viola was leaning against the railing, looking out at the ocean around them. She watched as the dolphins flip up in the air, letting out their sounds that, to Viola's ear, were them laughing.

(It's a blimp x3 like a giant one)

"Hello, Miss Viola... You wanted to see me after I finished my rounds?" he asked, forgetting the reason.

(Oh! I looked at the wrong picture then. I found a photo of a boat when I searched Zeppelins.)

Viola looked over at Percy and smiled. "Yeah. I was hoping we would be able to try to be friends, you look like you could use a moment to relax and be yourself."

His cheeks became red beneath his feathers.
"I-I don't know quite what you mean... I am always myself..."

Viola shook her head. "No, you are too shy to actually say what you think without stuttering and blushing."

This made him blush even more and he went silent, unsure how to respond. He had never been friends with a girl and he had no idea how to talk to one unless they were acting like a passenger, and Viola was not doing that.

Viola could tell that she hit the mark, which was a bit upsetting because she could see him calming up a like wilting flower. "Hey, relax. You are most likely over thinking all of this." She said with a friendly smiled.

He still said nothing about it.
"Did you want anything to drink, Miss?"

Viola sighed, she could tell this wasn't going to be easy. "Percy, you don't need to act like a servant now."

He shook his head, "I do. It's my job. If one of my passengers needs something, it is my job to get it for them," he countered.

"Well, for now, can you just relax. Don't think of me as your passenger, think of me as a friend." She said with a smile.

"I... I don't know how to do that..." he said embarassedly and opened his mouth to say more but no words escaped his beak. He looked down and away, feeling a little ashamed.

"Don't you have friends, Percy?" She asked, confused on how he could not know how to relax and treat her like she was a friend and not a passenger.
