<span class="mu-r">“Right. It’s as if they’ve never seen a seven foot tall, pumpkin-headed one year old.”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“What they should be staring at are these buildings. They’re huge!”</span> Donny declared, craning his neck all the way back to stare up at a skyscraper.
<span class="mu-g">“How tall do you think that one is?”</span> he asked.
You glanced up at the building, squinted at it, and pretended to do some mental calculations.
<span class="mu-r">“Mmm…probably a couple hundred Callisto’s.”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“Incredible…”</span> Donny gasped.
<span class="mu-r">“Yeah. It really is…”</span>
For a good, long moment, you and Donny took a moment to silently appreciate the sights, sounds, and smells of the city. It wasn’t often that you got to see things from this perspective these days.
Your feet back on solid ground, feeling the thrum of passing engines, the honking of horns and the rhythmic thumping of footsteps from all the people that were looking at you funny.
You should take walks more often.
<span class="mu-g">“I wonder if they have more bracelets here.”</span> Donny said, his entire head poking through the window of the vendor’s stall.
<span class="mu-s">“No no no! Please, sir! There is no room!”</span> the vendor pleaded.
<span class="mu-r">“Really? <span class="mu-i">Another</span> bracelet?”</span> you asked, exasperation clear in your voice.
<span class="mu-r">“Buddy, I know you’ve got long arms, but this is pushing it.”</span>
<span class="mu-b">“Excuse me, sir. I’m gonna need you to step away from the stall.”</span>
You turned to find that the source of the voice was a lady cop. She and her partner’s gazes were locked firmly on you, but they were casting nervous glances at Donny’s back.
<span class="mu-r">“What seems to be the problem, officer?”</span> you asked in your most polite voice.
<span class="mu-b">“The <span class="mu-i">problem</span> is that you’re currently wanted for multiple acts of grand larceny, vigilantism and public endangerment.”</span>
Oh, right. You were sort of a wanted criminal, weren’t you? You’ve been through so much over these past few weeks that it almost slipped your mind.
<span class="mu-b">“If you would just step away from the stall, I’d like to ask you some questions.”</span>
