Bard: *thinking* (Who told him? Well anyone really, plenty of people and Elves around to see. Wait, what did he say, a little bird told him? Little Bird, that's Tilda's nickname. Tilda who is obsessed with Elves. Tilda who likes Elf stories. Tilda who wants to live in the Elves Castle. Tilda who is only stopped by not knowing where it is in the big ass forest that is full of spiders that are bigger then her. Dammit Tilda.)
Everything you know about Elves is wrong, Percy
Everything Men know about Elves is wrong, well most of it. Some of it is right. Some of it is sort of right-ish but for the wrong reasons. Oh well. What do you expect when people live near each other but never talk to each other (not often anyway, not from the perspective of Men anyway "Oh we just talked to the Lake-Men like twenty years ago"), all their knowledge is going to be based on rumours, best guesses and superstition.
Not just Elves, they also have some mistaken beliefs about Dwarves ("They want to starve them out of the mountain? That won't work, not if they can eat gold in times of desperation!")
The same goes for the Dwarves about Men and Elves, and the Elves about Dwarves and Men.
An Elf conversation according to Percy might go something like this:
Elf: "I've noticed that Men have many children and die young, Dwarves have a little less children and live a bit longer. I wonder if that's related?"
Another Elf: "Perhaps sex kills Mortals?"
Elf: "Maybe. Actually who gives a shit? Just a passing thought"
Another Elf: "Quite true"
Who knows what anyone thinks about Hobbits? What are those even? O_o
Percy the Port Master
(Info-dump about Percy since I'm not drawing the amount of comics about him that it would take to cover all that.)
His older then Bard, by 5-10 years, he's never asked. He's known him since he was a kid and he was "older when he was younger".
His job is currently Second-in-command of Dale. Previously it was Port Master, which gives him the combined sets of skills of knowing everyone and their business as well as being able to read and write. In Bard's words "Certainly useful in that he can go round and find out who is left, what their skills are and who is injured easily in such a way as to not suggest that those whose skills are not immediately useful and are most injured will be selected to be the first eaten in winter. Don't look so shocked, King Thranduil, that was a joke."
His ancestors are from Lake-Town and Lake-Town Proper.
He has a Brother-in-Law who he doesn't talk to, who is still alive. A twin Sister and a Niece who have been deceased for a decade. His father dies when he was a teenage and a mother who just recently died the day Smaug attacked Lake-Town. In Percy's words "If she hadn't die there, then she'd have died on the walk up, and if not then, then definitely during the battle. Dying only prevented her from living through this. And there's no reason to believe she didn't actually die before that, I hadn't seen her since the night before and she was old after all. Besides dragon fire is hardly the thing that's going to make her young again, make her whole and grant her the ability to swim."
Percy's mother would sometimes baby-sit Bard's children and as well as others.
His sister's motto was that "God grants Man life so that he may live" but he's is that "God keeps Men alive so that they may suffer, it's Man who must not grant God the satisfaction of a job well done".
He enjoys drinking inexpensive alcohol, fishing, eating fish raw and drinking the lake water from the source. Bard wonders why he's not dead, Percy also wonders about that.
Percy drinks at basically every tavern in Lake-Town when he can afford it but prefers the Ship-Shape on the Southside where the alcohol is cheaper but they're not cheap with it. The fact that that's also where Lake-Town's fringe groups hang out is happy coincidence for someone who wishes to benefit from say smuggling, but not participate in it directly. It's this desire to benefit from things but not actively participate or take sides that lets Percy know everyone and still remain perceptively neutral to know even more things and people. It's the sort of thing that drove Alfrid nuts since he was sure Percy was up to something but couldn't convince the Master of it. The Master would only dismiss his ramblings about the Percy Problem because so what if he's friendly with Bard? He's friendly with everyone because it makes his job easy. So what if they drink at the same shady-shit tavern? Percy likes to drink and he drinks everywhere. He's good at his job and he takes it very seriously, he's not about to fire him over what Alfrid thinks, he's not going to find anyone better at it. That guy makes him money, after all.
As it turns out Bard and Percy are good friends and have been for a long time, but Bard wasn't in any giant rush to throw that in the Master's stupid face and drag Percy down with him.
Percy likes stories, but isn't supposed to tell Tilda any stories as most of his stories are a bit perverted. He has a reputation as being a bit of a pervert in bed but nobody is exactly sure why. The few people who have admitted freely that they've slept with him have said it was, well, normal, completely normal sex. Percy doesn't care, as he's fond of saying "Stories need balance. I won't marry, I don't date, want does it matter at the end of the story if people I won't fuck like Alfrid think I'm a pervert?"

Do you know how long I stared groggily at this phrase before I figured out it was a typo?
Caffeine. I need caffeine.
