Along with the bit and pieces of Holiday Tidings, a heavy lined envelope held a Card and Invitation.

(( *Please note other then the climate, all magic will be void and null at this dinner to allow every friend and family member to be on equal ground, to for one night forget grudges and past transgressions. All manner of creature and blood will be allowed to attend unharmed for this is for friends and family to unite and reunite. There will be no weapons nor magic allowed.

I would like to thank Wyhree for helping with the Climate, it will be snowing but never touch the feast and guest while the weather will be warm enough in the glen to remove heavy cloaks and coats. Intended Place will be the Great Hall but subject to change. We can start at 2100 est and finish when ever it pleases all. ))

(( PS I didn't know where in the hell to post this Tara & Tal! Move it if you two see fit.))

The Count, having heard the exclamation of 'free food' came out of his library.

"It is another group of young Christmas Carolers, my cuppicake?"

No, this was another type of 'free food'.

He gave his lucious wife a kiss and took the invitation from Matilda and read it.

"Ah, Brian and Jen are having a party! How nice. It should be great fun, and a perfect way to end the year. The next governor of Rhydin and his wife should certainly be there, my love.

"Let's go shopping so that we might bring them something nice."

Knowing his wife's propensity for getting in trouble in the most innocent ways, none of which are her fault, there could very well be the need for more than one outfit during an evening of partying. He considered the cost of the outfits to simply be insurance.

"Why of course, my angel. You can have all the dresses that you think you might need. We can't have people talking. That would just not be right. So you get whatever you want and I'll get that changing tent and servants to assist you."

He gave his sweet angel a kiss and hoped that since he was so nice he would get lucky tonight.

Talomar had his hand up to his face and he moved his fingers apart to peek through them.

Yes, it was worse than he ever imagined it could be.

At least she didn't ask him if she looked fat in that outfit. I would have hated to have to be honest and say, "Tara, my angel, you look like a fat cow."

The only saving grace was that it was 2 a.m. and no one would be able to see her.

Now for diplomacy - one of Talomar's strong suits.

"Tara! My angel! Do my eyes deceive me or has a goddess descended from the heavens right into my study. You are the fashionista of Rhydin! Wherever did you get such a gorgeous dress? You are ravishing. It's a very good thing that Jewell isn't here right now or she would be so jealous she would just rip it off you."

Talomar wanted to rip it off her and burn it, cow stillettos and all. Nevertheless, he still has not given up on getting lucky, so he continued to compliment his dear wife. After all, love covers a mulititude of sins, and he couldn't think of a more sinful display of fabric than what she was wearing.

"Let's hurry to the stores. There's not a moment to lose, my love. We surely don't want Jewell to find the good dresses before you do."

The truth was that he hoped to enter the stores, make the purchases and leave before anyone would see her. While she was getting ready, he had contacted some employees at SECTOR and arranged for an employee to be posted at every clothing store. They would be the temp "shop owner".

He held out his arm to her. "My only fear, sweetheart, is that I can never keep up with your fashion style. I'll be so . . . so ordinary when standing next to my cuppicake. Oh well, at least one of us gets to shine."

Now comes the hard part - how to trick his wife into purchasing something that would actually be fashionable.

A brilliant idea came to him!

REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY!!
