Tad and Hess

As I was working on book 4, it occurred to me that people may have overlooked some of the fine differences between Tad and Hess, the brothers who are cousins to Gordon. In book 3 Tad meets Dotty. In book 4 Hess meets his LeeAnn. This changes both of them significantly and in ways neither of them anticipated. However it does not seem to alter the bond they had before. They have for as long as they can remember had a private channel for communication. They collected goods, sold and traded goods both on and off planet. Tad is generally the plotter, the slow one. Hess is usually more impulsive and quick to act. Tad is shorter, Hess is larger. Tad has usually been more introspective, Hess more outgoing and less concerned with others. Both are fiercely loyal to one another, family and as it turns out to Grabon and Heron.
