Wha- (Eddie's taken aback by the man thinking he'd be older. Literally every adult he's ever met had pegged him for twelve or younger. Some had done so earnestly- and could he fault them? He was undersized with a baby face. Some adults had demeaned him by throwing out obviously ludicrous ages like six or something. Never older though.
He felt oddly flattered, and looked down at himself, wondering silently if maybe he had gotten taller without realizing it. A pleased flush was working its way into his face. Eddie was at the odd age where he still didn't want to abandon his childhood, but part of him was getting older and liked the idea of people respecting the maturity that came with that. It was a funky middle area to be stuck in.
Eddie sure knows he can't do shit physically to help this guy up, but he's glad to be humored anyway. Dude's hands were definitely as big as they looked.)
Doogie? (He curls his lips around the nickname and stares up at the guy, brow raised.)
Thanks. Sorry I can't really offer you much of happy-anythings. Since I doubt you're that happy to be stuck in Horrorville 2.0.
