It's very rare when they appear together, they're not reeeaallll fond of each other, but they said they'd 'play nice' for me just this once . . . . I told them they really 'play nice' all the time, but you just can't get through to them . . .

Joey's Emerald green Elan helped inspire this one, so it's good that it follows his two.    Flame maple over mahogany with a honey tint
