The Deck, early evening Thursday

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah had hamburgers and hot dogs, some veggie platters and chips and dip, soft drinks and cake. Oh, and ice cream in the fridge inside for later.

Happy birthday, Will Shakespeare! Oh, and her too.

[very limited OCD about to go up!, for early justice and time zones; set before Dress Rehearsal/Previews.

Anyone welcome, even if you don't know her! I'm sticking to Dinah's thread to keep it simple.]

"I suppose so," Triela said with mock-reluctance. She slipped the bag out from under her arm. It was clear that it was actually wrapped around a rather large box (which she'd wrapped in a very tasteful cream-colored paper and tied off with a pearlescent satin bow). She handed the whole thing to Dinah.

[Oh, sure, and I bet you have some excuse like "It's a birthday post and I have over a dozen threads going at once", or something equally unconvincing! :)]

"Oooooo," Dinah said, gleeful. "So pretty!" She undide the ow and the paper very carefully, then opened the box carefully.

[No excuses! I fall on my sword in your general direction!]

"I had to guess at your size," Triela admitted as a pair of black leather boots (http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446194408&afsrc=1&site_refer=GGLBASE001&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=ParentItem0442204782991) revealed themselves. "So I hope they fit." She sort of held her breath waiting for Dinah's reaction.

Fortunately, Triela was very good with footwear. As long as the footwear in question were boots.

"Eeeeeeeee!"

Dinah was hugging the boots. It appeared she liked them.

"Thank you!!"

Triela smiled a subdue sort of smile. "I hoped you might."

She'd had to have them rush-delivered from Spain, but that look made it worth the hassle.

"Thank you so, so much Triela. These are awesome." Dinah had to sit down and try on the boots right there, then bounced up and stalk around, getting the feel for them. "Yes!"

Triela laughed. "I thought you could use a nice pair. They're very sturdy." And she would know, she's worn similar pairs on more than a few missions.
