"That's perfect, Percy!" she exclaimed, all grins and happiness. Luckily, she'd set her tea down otherwise they would have surely been wearing it as she'd bounced with excitement.

"Why not do both?" she said, moreso saying it out loud so that she could mull it over further, "Both would be quite feasible. A grand ball while celebrating your birthday at the same time. That way we can invite more people!" It was perfect really. She was a bit surprised her brother had been the one to even give her the idea, even if he hadn't been meaning to.
