Thank you again, dear - this is all sorts of splendid and twistedly hot, as well as perfectly in character and... yummily hands-on! I certainly haven't done much this year to live up to your praises (yet?) (woe!); words prove elusive and play hard to get, or perhaps I get sidetracked in RPGing too much (although that's a comfort and a challenge in itself), perhaps I'm indulging in selfpity when I allow myself to get that mired in RL hassles... *bites thumb* But hell, what can I say; unlike my characters I'm not much of a pragmatist, and third party adversity/perversity drives me round the bends much quicker than it should.

That said - I got your card today! ♥ Thank you for your kind words and the gentle "feelers" extended across the ocean - getting to know you is such a definite blessing. *hugs*
