Percy sat by the window, a book open on his lap but left unread while his attention was on the piano on the other side of the room. Lucy was practicing her scales, and though he often pretended for her sake that he was busy reading, he much preferred watching and listening to her. Her tiny fingers tickled along the ivory pieces, at times tentative and others confident, yet despite her youth, he could already hear the makings of an excellent pianist.

Lucy's piece finished and Percy stopped pretending to read his book long enough to applaud her work. She turned around and gave him a glare, reminding him that he was supposed to be 'reading'. He pretended an apologetic look and went back to his act, allowing her to get back to her music. His mother had once seen that look on Lucy's face and told him it was exactly the look he used to give the twins.

He supposed the apple really did fall close to the tree.

Lucy took a few moments to look over her uncle before giving him a thumb's up. "Tres beau, Oncle Charles," she replied, showing off the French that her Aunt Fleur had taught her. "You look just like Prince Charming now!"

Percy grinned. "You heard the little princess, I believe your fairy godparents have prepared you for the ball. The spells last two weeks, so as long as you don't wear them a week after the ball, then you shouldn't turn Cinderalla on us."

"Multumesc, prințesă," he said in his best Romanian, sketching a little bow. "Thank you both. At least my clothes won't embarrass me now."

He nodded his understanding at Percy's explanation about the spells and slipped the robes back off carefully. "I'll get them clean and back to you as soon as I can," he said, flattening down his hair with one hand. "And make an appointment to get new robes soon. Can't be doing this if I end up going to something else swanky."

Lucy courtseyed in response, a huge grin on her face. "You're beautiful even without your clothes, Uncle Charlie." Percy decidedly looked up at the ceiling, not wanting to accidentally point out the more adult connotations beneath such an innocent statement.

"As I said, I swear by Astoria, and if you tell her I sent you, I'm sure she'll give you her very best designs." All right, he couldn't resist one comment at Charlie's expense. "I never thought I'd see the day when you get my hand me downs. My, have the tables turned, brother?"

"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.
