Percy: Hey! Mr Azama, sir? Can I ask you a question?
Azama: Do I have a choice in the matter?
Percy: [smile] Will you be my mentor?
Azama: [smile] Absolutely not.
Percy: [upset] Whaaat? Why not?
Azama: [smile] I dislike small, noisy things.
Percy: [confused] Like dogs?
Azama: Like children.
Percy: [disappointed] Aww… it would’ve been so cool to have a mystical mentor monk…
Percy: Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase?
Azama: [frown] (What a shrill pitch. Avatar should look into weaponizing whines like this.)
Percy: Is there anything I can do to prove worthy?
Azama: Can a penguin take to the sky?
Percy: [frown] A what?
Azama: It’s a type of naginata.
Percy: [smile, closed eyes] Oh. Cool! Thanks, Master Azama!
Azama: ‘Master’? Can one man ever truly be the master of another?
Percy: …Yes?
Azama: [smile] Good answer! You’ve almost passed the first test.
Azama: I hear there’s a Nohrian bird called a cockatrice.
Azama: Why don’t you get some of its feathers?
Percy: [smile] Just get bird feathers? That’s easy!
Percy: Be back soon, Master!
[Percy leaves]
Azama: Oh, that’s much easier than getting the fletching myself.
Azama: [thoughtful] …oh, did I say cockatrice instead of cockatoo?
Azama: [smile] Oh well, same difference. He’ll be fine. Probably.

Percy: Master Azama! I got the feathers!
Azama: [surprised] Oh, splendid work!
Azama: (I’ll need to get that apology card back from Arthur.)
Percy: So will you be my mentor now?
Azama: [smile] Sure.
Azama: The first step to inner peace is blind obedience.
Percy: Is that why you always have your eyes closed?
Azama: Sure, why not?
Azama: In the spirit of blind obedience, I have another fetch quest for you.
Azama: A rare fruit blooms in the tropics of Nestra.
Azama: It’s about this wide, beige, spiked on the outside.
Azama: Go find one and cut the meat out of it. Then garnish it with one four leaf clover for every year you’ve been alive.
Azama: Bring me the garnished fruit, with a black kinshi feather on the side.
Percy: Okay! Thanks, Master!
Azama: [smile] You’re very welcome.
[Percy leaves]
Azama: That should get rid of him.
Azama: And if not, it’s been too long since I last had durian.

Percy: Maaaaaster!
Azama: (This is ceaseless. He completes every task quicker than the last.)
Azama: (Clearly I’ve disturbed something better left alone.)
Percy: Master! I found that flower you asked for!
Azama: (The implausible flower I made up, you mean.)
Azama: (Maybe I’ll fake my own death.)
Percy: There you are! Is this another test?
Azama: [frown] No.
Azama: You’ve passed every test, Bertie-
Percy: -um, it’s Percy-
Azama: -and now you too are a mystical monk. Use your power wisely.
Azama: (And far from me.)
Percy: [sad] Aww…
Azama: What’s wrong? Wasn’t the purpose of this to complete instruction?
Percy: Yeah, but… I like spending time with you!
Azama: What? Where did I go wrong?
Percy: You’re so smart and funny! You’re my third-favourite grown up after my parents!
Azama: [surprised] …I’m oddly touched.
Azama: Well, I can send you on more inane fetch quests if you’re so intent on it.
Percy: Yay! Ooh, can the next one be underwater?
Azama: Absolutely. So, there’s a fish deep in the ocean with a lantern hanging on top of its head…
