General Discussion

Really love it. The youngster has to answer familiar Pratchett/Gaiman questions: Who are you? Where do your loyalties lie? What is the ground you stand on?

Here’s Adam:

“Adam looked around. He looked down. His face took on an expression of calculated innocence.
There was a moment of conflict.
But Adam was on his own ground.
Always, and ultimately, on his own ground.
He moved one hand around in a blurred half circle.
    ... Aziraphale and Crowley felt the world change.”

Here’s Adam’s human father driving up immediately after:

“There was no noise. There were no cracks. There was just that
where there had been the beginnings of a volcano of Satanic power, there was
just clearing smoke, and a car drawing slowly to a halt, its engine loud in the
evening hush.
    It was an elderly car, but well preserved. Not using Crowley's
method, though, where dents were simply wished away; this car looked like it did,
you knew instinctively, because its owner had spent every weekend for two
decades doing all the things the manual said should be done every weekend.
…… He wore a tie, even on Saturdays.
    Archimedes said that with a long enough lever and a solid enough place to stand, he could move the world.
    He could have stood on Mr. Young.”
