"For as long as i need to"

Percy replied trying to be honest, he didn't really know for how long he wanted to keep her but tried to be realistic, she wasn't pleased by his answer as it wasn't enough information for her so she continued to be mad at him, although at least he gave her an answer so she knew that if she tried hard enough she could get information from him.

"Now can you please calm down? I know you are not too fan of the idea but there's really not much you can do..." - Percy said with a friendly tone to make Alice chill down a little but he came off as slightly annoying to her so she continued to give him a mean look, thankfully he was a charming king so he knew how to use some humor to calm her down.

"I mean, aren't you even going to tell me good morning?? I take the effort to come visit you and see how you are doing and this is how you treat me??" - Percy said playfully, he was clearly joking and Alice found it a little amusing but she was still mad at him so she took this opportunity to fight back, not really attack him though, more like arguing with him.

"How dare you!! When you treat me like a slave and don't even let me go out or see my sister of course i'm going to try to kill you!!" - Alice exclaimed frustratedly, she wasn't as mad as before now thay she knew he was messing with her and tried to be a little playful but she didn't really want that from him, she still hated the fact that she had to be his slave but apparently this was funny to him as he chuckled from her response.

In reality Percy enjoyed arguing with her, even when it was clear she did really hate him he still found their interactions entertaining so as he wanted to mess with her a little more he turned a little playful and thought about a couple ways to joke around while also calming her down a little more.
