Sounds like Cooper has a friend. :)
Actually, Percy is terrified of Cooper. He’s a typical bully - - - really a coward. He showed his butt for a while when he first showed up but cooled his jets after a little while. I guess he showed his butt when Cooper showed up and Cooper put him in his place. heh! It needed doing.
They’ll probably end up being buddies before all’s said and done. Cooper’s a laid back sweetheart and doesn’t cause any trouble and is getting along well with most of the others. The few who are nervous about him will figure things out soon enough.
