So. We were all still recovering from The Serafina-Faramir Incident when I was going through my mail on Saturday morning. Well, actually, I was letting The Littlest Edward sort it, since he's still in need of occupation.

"That's not how it works," I said, somehow managing not to thump him. "Also, that was a really terrible pun. I hope you're proud of yourself."

I did my best not to grin back. You know, he really would be very charming if he would get over the whole "prissy stalker virgin" thing. "Okay then, Postmaster General, tell me what you've got for me."

"You are an inspiration to them all," I assured him, and don't you dare write and tell him otherwise.

"Oh, go on, take it with you, have a party," I said, waving him away. He hates eating in front of people, after all.

"Who in the world--oh! It's my eBay thing. Excellent. Go on and eat, I'll take care of it."
And here is what I bought on eBay for the princely sum of $5 (seller's picture, not mine):
