"Shhhhh," whispered hayden to one of her conspirator-accomplices. "You have to quit giggling!" "I'm not giggling!" whispered MacNair right back. (It was hard to whisper with a hand clamped over her mouth.) "You are too," softly said lynnann. "I can feel you puffing the air against my hand!" This comment, by default, only added to the pantomimed convulsions of the little blonde semi-leaning against lynnann. The trio stood in the doorway of the Jade room, which Duncan MacLeod had staggered his way to at 3:35 AM, singing, after a night of drink, bad jokes, and cards -- not necessarily in that order. The girls suspected that the young Highlander had done well with his card playing because of his jovial humor ... or else he had been so inebriated that he didn't remember losing so badly! "Is he barefoot?" "I think so." "I think he's more than barefooted," announced MacNair, finally having convinced lynnann that she could be quiet. "Oh?" "Oh dear, he's bare!" "And a FINE bare, he is!" Groan. "Enough with the puns, Sheeza." "Have you got it?" "Yes, of course," replied hayden. "I don't forget to bring the source of mayhem, now DO I?" "Which one is it?" "The blue one. Thought it would look nice against his skin." "It's going on his toe, silly. Not much skin there to worry about how it's going to look." Silence. hayden was already sneaking up on the snoring, slumbering immortal. The other two CDCers watched with bated breath from the doorway. hayden opened the ring widely, so it wouldn't scratch his skin when she slipped it around one of his toes, and then gently bent it to stay on. Duncan stirred! hayden ducked, quick as thought, and dropped below the level of the bed and out of his sight. The two girls in the doorway swung around the doorframe and hid in the hallway ... and waited. Silence. Did he see us? Did he wake up? The low snoring began again inside the room and the girls in the hallway sighed in relief. MacNair and lynnann looked back in to see that Duncan had turned on one side and curled up around a pillow. His skin was a golden contrast to the creamy sheets. hayden, wide-eyed, waited on the floor for a signal from her two friends. lynnann smiled and waved her up. hayden had to study Duncan's toes for a moment to figure out where she'd put the ring now that he'd moved! A-ha! she thought, It stayed on! She crept out as quietly as she'd crept in and the trio headed down the hallway quickly, before their laughter could escape! "Wait until lahoffy gets a look at THAT!" cried Sheeza delightedly! ~finish~ Addendum: lahoffy's shriek of delight was heard throughout the compound ... accompanied by a very startled yell from a certain young Scot.
