"Thank you, Lucy," Charlie said seriously. Even though he didn't always feel beautiful, what with a missing leg and several scars, he took her words seriously. And the secondary meaning... well it didn't mean anything much to him in any case, so he could ignore it, especially given the innocence behind it.
Charlie nodded. "Yeah, you weren't the only one to recommend her. I'll get in touch once the dance is over." He couldn't help but laugh at Percy's comment about the hand-me-downs. "You have a point there. Especially since it wouldn't work if we didn't have magic," he said, amused.
