"i don't do many human holidays, but birthdays i can get behind." lifts bag; enthusiastic. it clanks. "for you, my dude." inside is a pair of adult size moon shoes; nineties era-----; & a rock; thumb wide. "that's a little pert of a meteor. think old. think dinosaur old. it's like a theme. was going to go for a space helmet too but i thought it was too dress up costume."
is it bad that his first thought is lyrics??Â
                    ⍠some people call me the space cowboy âŤ
bad, yes? yeah okay, keeping that to himself.
dean snags the bag out of samaelâs hand                  (while heâs absolutely eyeing those moon shoes he already pulled out⌠he never got a pair of those when he was a kid â john always said they were too bulky to keep in the car )and then finds the meteor, palm-up, staring a bit in wonder.Â
âwhere did you even find this stuff?â
he can imagine samael chipping off a piece of a meteor up in area 51 or something and now heâs the newest owner of an illegal piece of meteor⌠and if THAT isnât the coolest thing ever he doesnât know what is.
then another thought occurs â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â grin grows to a full blown smile.
âyou totally tried out the moon shoes didnât you?â
