Let's hope you make the last hour count

WARNINGS: ....What the...

[It was a long and hard battle, yet slowly but surely the Chaotic menace was beaten back.

What was left by the time "late at night" gets blurry with "early in the morning" were only a few dozen individuals, now huddled together downtown, near the large trees that'd given the city its name. They were faced off against several fighters, two opposing forces that weren't, at the moment, actually combatting.

They were both waiting to see who would make the first move.]

Well, guess we'll relax till he comes back.

[He sat back.]

You know... It's a good thing that Halloween party is coming up at my house, everyone is gonna need it at this.

[strengthinkindness]

[She nods.] Mm...it'll be nice to have something fun to look forward to...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur placed his hands on his table as he bit his lip.]

Kinda nervous though... I've never hosted a party before.

[He placed his hands in his cheek.]

I'm trying to remember stuff people do at Halloween Parties, does anyone bob for apples anymore?

[strengthinkindness]

I'm sure you'll do fine...

Mm, sometimes...I think it'd be fun...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur nodded in thanks be he smiled as he rubbed his chin.]

I'll have to be careful though.

I've got a feeling some of our friends might be a little eager to try the giant size portions. Particularly the sweets.

[It's Pinkie. He's talking about Pinkie.]

[strengthinkindness]

[She giggles a little.] Hopefully one serving will be enough for them...

1/3

[hisheadintheclouds]

I'll have to be sure to hide the family's wine collection too, those huge barrels.

That'd be a disaster.

2/3

[sweartoit]

[Dominic comes back with the drinks and pretzels for them.]

... Did you say wine?

As in... Giant specifically made wine?

... Arthur would it be too much to ask-

3/3

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Gives an unamused look.]

No.

[Dominic pouts at him.]

Oh don't give me that, it's way too much for smaller folk.

[strengthinkindness]

Could you, um...maybe put a little in a smaller container for smaller people...?

[Maybe?]

1/2

[sweartoit]

[Big ol puppy eyes from Dominic as nodded in agreement with Fluttershy.]

Oh yes, a container that our size should surely do us well.

Please Arthur, I will pay you!

2/2

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur looked to side then gave sigh.]

Fiiiine.

But you don't have to pay me.

[Dominic gave a grin as he ran off. Giving a sigh.]

Hope he knows it's because he's a friend.

[strengthinkindness]

[She smiles a bit.] I'm sure he does...

Which is probably why he'll try to repay you for it anyway...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Chuckles.]

I don't really need the money though, it is kind of him though to offer.

[Snacks a bit on the pretzels as he looks over after a bit.]

Fluttershy...

D-Do you think... I should stay down here for a little bit longer?

I'm worried, I don't want an event like this to happen while I'm up in my castle.

[strengthinkindness]

Mm...I don't know...Maybe...

I'm hoping that with something as big as this...things will be quiet for a while...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur held Fluttershy's hand as he looked outside.]

Me too...

I think it's more, it'd keep my mind in peace if I'll have better access to know if my friends are alright.

[strengthinkindness]

[She nodded, gently squeezing his hand.]

Yeah...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[He softly squeezed before he looked down at his chest. As he patted over where his heart is.]

I'll have to also somehow work on this thing to get better.

I wanna get better at healing, I dunno if I'll ever become Nephilim but-

I-I dunno how, I just know I need to be better.

[Gives a sigh as lays his head on the table.]

Why wasn't I told more on what to do as a kid...

[strengthinkindness]

[She placed a gentle hand on his arm, rubbing soothingly.]

I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur simply lifted his other arm up to softly caress the top of her hand back. Glancing up at her.]

Thanks...

Sorry I'm probably being a pain, complaining like this...

[strengthinkindness]

[She smiled.] No, it's okay...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[He smiled softly up at her. Holding her hand for a moment before he cleared his throat. Taking a sip of his drink as he blushed a little.]

S-Should we go ahead and help out everyone now?

[strengthinkindness]

Mm...yes, that'd be a good idea...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur stood up as he helped her up by the hand into Ambrosia Nectar so they go help heal everyone together within the bar. Feeling a bit better than before now knowing his good friend is by his side.]
