Ladon Bonfire: Alex and Valentin
"Shit," Alex said, "I could've gotten in touch with my inner Ziggy Stardust...eh, next year." He made a face but figured that the heels were a bitch but the platforms were likely to be that much worse. Suddenly he felt bad for making fun of all those kids who went with generic or the ones that didn't dress up at all. They were the smart ones and he was just way too ambitious.
Then there were people like Valentin who just walked around barefoot. "Yeah, I'll be fine. Are you gonna be okay with being barefoot, homes?" He knew that Valentin was a vampire, but he didn't know how much that protected him from. He figured the cold wasn't going to be that much of a bother, but were their nerves dead on their feet too?
