Sorry - I'm a long way behind on FDK-FDK.
Artemis I'm so glad the opal switch was unexpected. I've been heading towards this for so long, and I was sure someone would guess.
Thanks, Artemis.
Ann You knew there was something happening with the opal, Ann. You kept on mentioning it in FDK! Thanks for your comments.
2A2TV Thanks for your enthusiasm. More parts are posted.
Marcus Uhhm, Lex. He could do a lot of damage with a piece of green opal
Thanks.
Sheila You will find out what Seb noticed, but probably not until the end of the fic. Thanks, Sheila.
DW Thanks, DW. Mayson still has a big part to play in this fic.
mika Thanks. Lois did take off her rings. She almost forgot, but did it just before meeting Seb.
Tank Clark probably could mine some opal quite easily. Lois will inadvertently give Seb something that he will value far more than opal. Thanks, Tank.
Amy The opals had to come back in! I spent too many words setting it up to just let it dangle! Thanks for your FDK, Amy.
Cristina Thanks, Cristina. The plan to switch the opal was foreshadowed a long time ago when LnC rescued the family whose van had run off the road. Then, it was Lois who quickly planned what to do - and how best to use Clark's skills. Same thing, here.
Michael Mayson will try to use her 'green rock', but in a different way to how most people are thinking! Thanks, Michael.
SJH Be gentle with Mayson??
Thanks, SJH.
Corrina.
