"I'm going to look for lost change," Gabe said with a grin, and then pointed. "There's a twenty-cent piece just under that bus-seat, by the way. Grab it while I flag down this taxi." He winked. "You'd be amazed at how easily angels can find spare change without using magic at all."
So saying, he released Fletcher's arm and stepped up to the curb, waving at the cab just coming down the lane.

"Why not?" Dad asked in return, entirely unsurprised by the question. He was still grinning, amused and faintly teasing, but now there was a gentleness in his eyes. "Skul's already got someone to help him out right now."
His next look was mildly exasperated. Amused, still, but exasperated, as if Ghastly was missing an obvious point. It wasn't, however, censuring in the least. "'Course you do! Didn't say you didn't. And 'course it isn't. That ain't the point. Since when was anythin' worthwhile easy? Ain't a reason to not do 'em."
