Alternate Title: Headcrabs Roasting on an Open Fire
___
"You see, in my day, was had this thing called a marshmallow. It was white and puffy and you roasted it like this... Well, this ain't no marshmallow, but it's close enough."
Alyx glanced casually at Barney. He had that grin on his face, the one that signified that he had just thought up a really awesome idea. If she didn't know him any better, she thought he might start giggling any second now. "Uh, if you say so, Barney."
Whatever, it's CUTE!
It's brilliant
...
but a bit sad when you realize Alyx and other kids who grew up post-7 hour war really would have no idea what roasting marshmallows was like D:
you did a amazing job on the expressions here.
