Hmm, I thought they were bigger.

They can be, but I'm not putting that in my bird's mouth. Hold on.

[Give him some quick minutes and he sends yet another picture, this time of a whole boxed assortment of fireworks in varying sizes from short and round to longer tapers. Several of them helpfully say "DO NOT HOLD IN HAND" on the side, which is nice.]

What do you think?

Those are the ones! I need all of them.

[he does not know how to economy. his family would die.]

All of them? I don't think I've got enough on me to trade for all of them. Pick three.

The three best ones then.

Shot in the dark: does that mean the three biggest ones, to you?

If that is the factor that makes it the best, then yes.

I'd say it contributes. Alright; the biggest three. Have you used fireworks before? I asked Paul for his help, just in case.

No. Never. This is my first time.

Mine too. We should let Paul give an example first.

That's usually how it goes.

[KAWORU... NO.]

With other dangerous party favors...?

[what do teens do.]

Not exactly. But I'm sure he could.

He's eminently capable. Do you want anything else at a fireworks party? We've covered snacks.

The tequila was popular at the birthday party.

[..........]

I'll think about it. With explosives? Maybe in a separate part of the field.

I guess it wouldn't be good if a human blew their hand off.

No, it wouldn't be. Or you, for that matter. I'm not going to drink anything; I'll keep the tequila away from the explosives.

Mine would grow back. But I suppose that's for the best.

Isn't that unpleasant? At least the waiting. I would be furious if I had to wait for my hand to grow back.

Hmm, the process is generally fairly fast but... I suppose it does distress everyone else.

[Kaworu. Homie.]

Just tell me you won't blow your hand off for any reason, please. I want it in writing.

It's not something I've ever done intentionally.

Fine; I want it in writing that you're going to be careful with the fireworks, then.

...I promise?
