Cause you're not in deep enough to be told. It's a complicated thing.
In New York. And present time. I'm not so sure what the drinking age is from when you were around.
(He looks thoughtful for a moment but knows it's a lost cause. He was awful at school and school never covered 'drinking age laws' way back when. The only drinking laws they covered were bootleggers and then the speakeasies.)
Ohhhh. Of course.
(Almond liquor. He knew that. No he didn't. But he's going to nod his support anyway. Blackjack perks his head up, ears flicking about madly.
What you...? What this! Ayyyyye boss!
Percy looks over but sees that it's only a date so he snorts, watching as Blackjack doesn't even wait for permission to eat and just dives right on in and munches on the date.
Valkyrie, my man, you got some STELLAR taste that was ugh- the stuff of dreams. You gotta another? Hey....hey! Where you going?
He calls after Gyro but of course, Gyro would hear nothing but a little bit of shuffling around on Blackjack's end. Percy laughs at his horse's despair.)
He liked the date. And is sad you left without giving him more.
(A beat. He looks at the coffee and then at Gyro.)
I know you envy my youth and vitality but harsh man, real harsh. It's okay. I still think you look good for your age. Women are probably into the silver fox thing sometimes.

I'll try some coffee.
