[Percy gestures to his mask, which looks like a very fancy version of the sort of mask a plague doctor would wear.]
This serves well enough. Besides, I've been in places much hotter than this. [The Fire Plane is exactly as hot as you'd expect it to be. Granted, Percy didn't stay there very long, either, and he didn't need to hunt down animals for food. But still.] Anyway, it'll be more useful with you for the moment. None of these animals are sentient enough to cast spells. Do be careful with it, though, I died to get it.
