Charlie really did love throwing parties, but it seemed like the common theme was that these events were for his really, really good friends. He knew he'd been sort of a prat to Octavius this past year or so, so he really wanted to give his friend a good time. Charlie also wanted to get Octavius' mind off of his recent breakup, which...officially had become> a breakup about a week or so after...they actually broke up. He wasn't exactly sure how everything had gone down, but he knew that this was a Rose-Free-Zone.

"Happy Octaviusfest!" he shouted along with the crowd, taking a swig from his rather large beer glass. The Oktoberfest theme was a hit, there were goats and sheep and geese and horses in pens so that Gebhard could have a blast as well, and there were good people here. No room to make a big mess of things, and it should be a good night.

And he was drinking this time around, so that would make this night even better, he suspected.

He peeked at her through his fingers. Charlie had thought it would be easier to say, because he already knew that she loved him from her drunken murmuring at Axe's party, but it really didn't make it any easier. His heart was pounding out of his chest, he felt nauseous and---she loved him too. Charlie let out a breath and dropped his hand.

"Yeah?" he asked stupidly. She wouldn't have said it if she didn't. Charlie would be the first to admit that he'd never felt the need to tell a girl he was seeing that he loved her, and that to him it mean that he'd never actually been in love before. He felt like the biggest sap in the world as his face heated up in excitement at this fact.

"This is not how I wanted to say that for the first time," Charlie laughed, looking around at the bales of hay and party-goers. He smiled at Penny, letting out a breath. "Penny, I love you and...." Charlie ducked his eyes, "and I don't want to have to hide it from...anyone so--you're going to have to deal with my stupidity, that's what I'm sorry for," he ended with a laugh.

Oh, the second time wasn't much easier to hear than the first, she thought, as her heartbeat hiccuped and galloped and did its usual acrobatics where Charles was concerned. It would have been so nice, it was nice, but she seemed to be having a minor panic attack, albeit a pleasant one. Goodness only knew how many times the words had almost slipped out of her over the months, but it never felt as if it were the right time to be saying them. No, she'd felt content in the knowledge of her love, that their very rocky start had solidified into something lovely and meaningful. By no means were things perfect, but that was hardly a reasonable expectation, particularly with her being one-half of the relationship.

Although Penelope still thought that things might end disastrously with her brother, she felt warmer at the idea that it wasn't simply pride or obstinacy motivating her boyfriend's involvement, but also wanting to be with her. Not wanting to hide or play coy. Penelope was still an expert keeper of secrets, and she tended to default to playing her cards very close to the chest, but the idea that someone else would want to do just the opposite in a matter that concerned her was very moving.

"That's all right," she said quietly, hugging her ankles and resting her cheek on her knees as she looked at him with a little smile. "I can be quite stupid as well."
