I felt almost guilty that I had a mont blanc before you, knowing how fond you are of them

don't you dare feel guilty about that! *wags admonishing finger at you* am v pleased that you've got one to play with and can't wait to see the turquoise-inked products of The Pen. :)

beta partway done. sorry for delay - got caught up on weekend. I'm doing a copyediting-type beta as well as story arc/character stuff. hope that's ok. well, you know how incredibly anal attentive I am about this kind of thing. :P
