The only possible way he could haven got it is from a tester or staff member. It's been reported that staff sometimes randomly asks regualr players to test items for them.
Actually Yavn didn't make him one. Yavn was out of the room at the time. Someone else made him one before Yavn could intervene. THe kid just jumped on it. (little opportunist) He has already told him it probably won't last long. But the testers are different from his (what I suspect is) group that he has been using for 'marketing testing' type of use. Did that make any sense? (I blame the Darvocet if it didn't)
