Wednesday was not a 'laugh-out-loud' type of diety. (Well, except on occaisons, such as after completion of a particularily good con-jobs. Then he could manage a guffaw). He was hard pressed, then, when Mr. Young laid out some of the most ridiculous tripe he'd ever heard.
In all the ages of men, he didn't remember ever being referred to as "respectable." Ha!
Wednesday smiled at the naive mortal before him. What Mr Young needed, in Wednesday's not-so-humble opinion, was to be loosened up. Time for Wednesday to put on some of the Old Charm.
"Well, I'm glad to hear you approve. It's always a pleasure to meet a level-headed man in these troubled times. What with loose morals and stiff drinks. The pleasures of life have turned so many of today's youth into Young Devils, wouldn't you agree?" His eyes twinkled in a very un-Santa-like way. "Its a world of sin to be sure. A world full of deception. Adam here is lucky to have such a stable and congnizant force in his life. With his Father's guidance, I'm sure that he will make his mark on the world."
Wednesday took a sip of his drink. "I must admit that I have to be off now. It was a Pleasure to meet you Mr. Young. Adam." He nodded at the young man and turned to walk away. Before he was out the door, though, he turned to look at them both. "Funny old world, isn't it? Genes especially. You two look absolutely nothing alike." With that he walked out the door.
