Alek leaned closer to Deryn and whispered, "Why exactly are we doing this again?"

"It's barking tradition, isn't it," she whispered back.  

"But it seems a bit strange, don't you think," he continued.  "Adults willingly blindfolding themselves to hit a suspended object with a stick?"

"Aye, barking mad if you ask me.  But the lady boffin insisted that this year's Christmas party have such a thing, considering the Mexican ambassador is visiting.  And it's important that we please him."  Deryn twirled her glass of champagne a bit before taking a sip.

"And, what is it called again?"

"A piñata, you ninny."

"Mr. Hohenberg."  Alek cringed slightly as Dr. Barlow herself approached the two young assistants.  "It is your turn to have a go at the piñata.  I'm sure your lovely wife will have no problem watching your drink for you."

Alek gave a soft groan and looked pleadingly at Deryn.  Unfortunately, she was not going to let a moment of embarrassment for her husband pass so easily.

"Don't worry love," she said before taking his glass.  She drew closer and placed her mouth next to his ear.  "When we get home, I'll show you a few other uses for a blindfold."  She quickly kissed his cheek and pushed the now red-faced Alek toward the crowd.
Well, it was going to be innocent. Bad Deryn. Hehe. I actually wikipedia-ed blindfolds to get ideas for what to do. And since they made so many friends in Mexico, I thought this could work. It is a big Christmas tradition after all.

Anyway... I made it to day 3! Looking ahead for the next few I'm starting to draw a blank, but I'm sure I'll figure something out. Enjoy!

I didn't know that was a Christmas tradition....How interesting.
And, don't worry. I'm sure Deryn does that to everyone once and awhile. She's done it to me. ^^ (Not that I've put that out for the world to see just yet XD)
