Azkadellia giggled as she set aside a box of flowered placemats with matching napkins. "Look, here's one from you, DG!" she said, picking up another brightly-wrapped package.

"Um, Az, you might not want to open this in front of everyone," whispered DG, blushing slightly.

"It's all right, Mother's gone to bed!" Az whispered back.

Azkadellia opened the box and turned bright pink all the way up to the tips of her ears. "Oh, my!" She pulled out a lavender suede cowboy hat and promptly put it on, then a pair of matching chaps, which she held up so all the guests could admire them.

DG choked and turned bright red. Lady Bompstable turned to Lady Fellsworth and whispered loudly, "Those pants have no ASS!"

There were still more items in the box. Az dove in and pulled out a lavender neckerchief, a braided leather lariat, and a shining set of spurs. She ran her fingers carefully over the last item and turned to DG. "DG, how could you ...?"

"Az, I don't-- I mean, there must have been a ..." DG stammered.

Az shushed her and went on. "How could you possibly have known? These are perfect!" Setting the spurs carefully back into the box, she pulled her sister close for a hug.

Lady Fellsworth turned to Lady Bompstable and whispered, "What if the Prince doesn't like them?" Az's fiance, who came from a very respectable royal family in a neighboring queendom, was something of an unknown quantity to most of the O.Z.

Az raised her voice slightly. "Oh, he'll like them," she said confidently. "If he knows what's good for him."

Lady Bompstable raised her fist and said, "That's the spirit, Princess!"

Whew - I'm glad that turned out all right, thought DG. But if Az got these, then Glitch and Wyatt must have gotten ...

"Your turn to open one,"Glitch said, handing a gaily-wrapped box to Cain. "It's from DG."

"Oh, looook," said Cain with glee, holding up an ice blue satin bustier. "It's adjustable!"

"Matches your eyes, too," said Glitch.

Cain pulled out the next item from the box. "And it has matching panties!"

"Thong, I hope?" Glitch leaned over to get a closer look.

"Don't be naughty!" Cain said, smacking him lightly on the rear, drawing chuckles from the assembled company.

"Hey, save that for wedding night!" called Raw, and the others laughed.

"And this looks like your size," Cain added, pulling out a translucent glittery pink vibrator.

"Ooh," Glitch said, his eyes wide. He reached into the box. "Look, she even included batteries."

"Lots of them, I hope," said Cain, his eyes sparkling.

"Come along, gentlemen!" chided Vy-Sor. "Get your minds out of the gutter and back to the party - you've got lots of presents yet to open!"

Cain set the box aside and reached for the next one. Still, as his eyes met Glitch's, he knew they were both wondering the same thing. What a perfect present! How did DG know?

I'm reading this and I get to the line about the ice blue satin bustier and my first thought was that's gonna match his eyes . . .

I'm thinking like you. This could get interesting!

I read an interview with Neil when he first hit the scene and the interviewer mentioned his eyes. He responded his mother was part Husky.

Or scary! ;-)

That is hilarious! What a great answer!

Someone mentioned on one of the Tin Man comms that when you see him in movies he did when he was younger (like one of the later Star Trek films), he has darker blond hair. It's not bleached now; it was dyed then, because the casting people thought he looked sorta creepy with the very light blond hair/very light blue eyes.

When I saw him during his "dyed hair" days I suspected it was not his natural coloring so I made a point of watching his arms and saw it was very light. With the intensity quotient, the tendency to bare his teeth, his compact body English plus the light coloring it all gave him an aura of being a nasty hard-ass.

Be pleased with yourself, my dear. I purchased the DVD set of Tin Man last week all because of your writing. I enjoyed it even if it was too dark for me in some spots. The characters of Cain, Glitch and The Mystic Man made the entire thing well worth it for me. Then I got to see the interviews with Alan and with Neil. I had seen Alan interviewed before and enjoyed him all over again. It was the interview with Neil that surprised me. I had no idea he was such a nice guy (or at least he seemed to be one). What fun to find out someone is genuine.

It was some of Richard's best work in years and I am glad I did not miss it. Ah, that one moment when he extracts the promise from Cain to protect D.G. then smiles as he wheels to face the enemy. I saw the years drop off him even as the years have added to his abilities.

Alan was remarkable as Glitch. What a sweet smile that stinker has! Neil was the revelation. He fit that character as well as that hat fit him. He's not hard on the eyes either. No, not one bit.

Thanks, Teacher Lady :)

I was already on the floor. And both recipients being so pleased without knowing they were switched and wondering how did she KNOW? lol!!!!!
