[ To be entirely honest, Adam was pen of the many people that weren't quite following Aziraphale's story back on that day. But maybe he'll hear it in full at some point.
The boy grins.]
I wanna see him turn into a snake. That's so cool.
[ I mean, the boy could probably turn people into snakes at some point. But still, demon that turns into a snake, that's pretty badass.]

I'm sure he'll demonstrate if you ask.
[He can't see any reason why the demon wouldn't anyway. Especially if Adam thinks it's cool. That's a good start for most anything.]
Only... do make sure that poor Dog isn't startled.
[Dog is sort of snake-snack-sized, after all.]

[Dog is sort of snake-snack-sized, after all.]
[ Snack sized and quite prone to pick fights with things he forgets he can’t just destroy anymore.]
He’ll be okay. Right, boy?
[ He turns to look at Dog, who is now sitting, free of the blasted beret that now sits on the floor. But not for long, because Adam pulls a face, huffs in an amused manner and crouches so that he can put it back on Dog’s head.
Serving the Antichrist doesn’t have a lot of downs, but the poor animal would have to count this as one of them.]
Can you turn into other stuff, too?

[This is where Aziraphale doesn't bother to hide his smile at poor Dog's plight. Sorry, Dog. But it's very fashionable. He looks back up to Adam at the question, considering.]
Theoretically, I suppose. Never tried it though. I'm fairly partial to this form. It's comfortable.
[He looks down at himself, tugging his waistcoat back into place even if it wasn't really out of place to begin with.] I think that sort of thing may come more naturally to demons. Or maybe just to Crowley.
[ Dog will make sure to accidentally destroy the beret eventually, probably. Nobody will ever suspect a thing.
Adam gives the angel a curious look, taking a moment to think. ]
Do you have other ones? [ From what he picked up from the answer.]

Well... no other corporeal forms.
[He waves a hand vaguely in a gesture that means a great deal of nothing.] Angels are... well. We're not corporeal beings by nature. We tend to favor the vaguely human-shaped these days though. Makes things easier.
[Interacting with humanity, relating to humanity. Honestly the whole aesthetic just flows well if they're all around the same shape. Made in Her image, as man was.]

[ Not corporeal. That sounds really weird. Makes him think of ghosts. But, then, there’s also stories about how when people die, and they’ve been good, they go to heaven, so he guesses that would make them ghosts too. But with wings.
Doesn’t sound like Aziraphale is a ghost with wings though.]
What do you really look like, then? When you’re not in this form?
[ Pardon him his innocent rudeness.]

[Well ghost with or without wings isn't wrong. That was basically his state when he was unexpected discorporated. But, back in the oldest of times, at their very nature.]
It's difficult to describe. It's more... conceptual.
[Form. Is a funny thing for beings that don't necessarily have to take form. That can be smaller than subatomic particles or well, frighteningly large at whim.]
Remaining human shaped, generally, it's probably a good change. There's something to be said for form and its effect on the overall being.

[ Adam doesn't really get all of that. It sounds interesting, yes, but they're strange concepts to a boy that almost exclusively knows about being a human. ]
I guess it's easier to do stuff if you're not [ A short pause. ] conceptual.
[ Whatever that means. ]

[Now, he could have waited to do this in person, of course, but he's thought of it now and it's the middle of the day so neither of them are likely home.
And so.]
Adam, if you have a moment there's something rather important I need to ask you.
And so.]
Adam, if you have a moment there's something rather important I need to ask you.
[ He rarely is, during the day, whether that means he's at class, at the pet shop, or somewhere else entirely. Free-range child, he is. ]
Hey, Aziraphale.
What is it?
Hey, Aziraphale.
What is it?
[Ah oh good. Okay. He clears his throat.]
Well, you see...
[How to begin.] Crowley and I were talking, and the subject of marriage and weddings came up. And we decided that we'd like to give it a try. The, ah, wedding thing, that is.
Now, there's no particular date or plans yet, however, I am told the way these things work, one typically requires a best man. And while I realize that may typically be someone over the age of majority, I still can't imagine anyone better suited for it than you would be. If you'd be willing, of course.

[ He takes a moment to answer, not because he has any particular objections, but because he really didn't expect that to be the topic of conversation. ]
You mean you're getting married? [ He didn't know angels and demons could get married. Though he'd also begun to think they already were, as they easily reminded him of his own mum and dad. ]
What does a best man do?

What does a best man do?
Yes, we are.
[And Aziraphale sounds so please and proud of himself about it, too.]
A best man, well. They stand as witness to the marriage itself. And then I believe they give a bit of a speech at the party. Dress up nice. That sort of thing.

[ Aziraphale sounds so happy. It's hard not to smile a bit. Even if Adam doesn't really get the point of weddings, but that's mostly on him being eleven.]
Will there be dancing and food and stuff? There's always those sort of things at weddings.
[ Fancy outfits, fancy food. A bunch of standing around taking photographs. A lot of old women pinching cheeks and talking about how grown up the kids look.
Well, it's probably going to be different with these two, he figures.]

A. Dexter

C. Chance
D. None of the above.
If you pick D, you gotta give me a suggestion. I'm terrible at this. Help me out, buddy.

You got a dog? He looks really small.
