"And I was just calling you on it," Bill retorted with a chuckle. "Relax Percy, some of us do get you at times. Even when you are being a smart arse." If it had been Charlie he would have cuffed him on the back of the head or ruffled his hair, but this was Percy and he wouldn't appreciate it, so he kept his hands to himself.
"Smart helped you survive in our family? How ever did that happen? I thought it only made you a target. Why do you think I made sure to be the cool older brother as well as smart?" he said with a wink.
Bill had to stop himself from laughing at Percy's comment, as it would hardly be appropriate to laugh loudly at a funeral. "You're killing me, you do know that?" he said, turning his back to the larger part of the crowd. "And you're welcome to try that one, I'll get the popcorn and watch from afar. I promise to step in before she kills you."
