[hisheadintheclouds]

WHO: Arthur and Fluttershy
WHERE: Arthur's Castle in the Sky from the Beanstalk
WHEN: Fall
OPEN/CLOSED: Closed
PROSE OR BRACKETS: Brackets
WARNINGS: The children of Birchepoint made Arthur cry happy tears


[It took Arthur awhile to fully recover from the Hellmarch event. Although physical wounds can heal, the emotional damage from the humiliation took much more time. Mainly for his courage to venture off anywhere again, but soon enough he did regain the courage he needed to carry on. And he knew he couldn't stay at Fluttershy's forever, as much as she welcomed his presence he didn't want to overstay.

Although just for the sake of gratitude Arthur requested Fluttershy come with him back up the beanstalk. So he can see if he can find or make something up there to repay for her kindness. He walked with Fluttershy hand in hand toward where the Beanstalk was safely hidden from any human eye.

Looking back at her as they ventured toward the stalk he gave a soft smile.]

Thanks for accompanying me, after spending so much time with you guys it felt kinda weird if I went off by myself without at least inviting you over for a little while I settle back in.

N-No... It's, you've known me long enough, I-I can trust you with this...

[Arthur breathed as he held up his hand to hold hers.]

He...

[He cleared his throat.]

He had me explore the human world while he got the treasure, and my family... S-Something went wrong in the castle, I remember there was news about a storm a-and when I tried to get back up there it'd....

[Arthur closed his eyes as now took turn to bury his face into his arms.]

It was my fault, I shouldn't have, I-I wasn't suppose to...

[strengthinkindness]

[Her breath hit the top of her throat, and she gently stroked his forehead.]

No...Arthur, that wasn't your fault...There was no way you could have known what was going to happen...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur shook.]

I... I was so upset...

I c-couldn't contain my rage I... I've never been so sad and frightened...

[He breathes as he looked for a moment to clear his eyes.]

I think it... It took me awhile but I eventually let myself down to interact with the humans again...

I know that, they're not all bad anymore but...

That guy made me scared for a while.

[strengthinkindness]

[She nods.]

It's understandable...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur looked around.]

A-Anyway I... I still kept the human stuff I made. But... Kinda destroyed the ones he touched.

... The rest is alright though.

[Getting up as he held out his hands.]

L-Let's forget about him, c'mon, I'll show you what I got left.

[strengthinkindness]

[She nodded a little, stepping onto his hands as she fingered the pendant around her neck.]

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur kept her close to his heart as he walked toward where this room was. It was full of what look like something a child would have. Plush toys, puzzle toys, and particularly a chest. Kneeling down Arthur opened up the chest.

As he gently placed Fluttershy inside, there she would find all sorts of handmade human items. Clothes, beds, kitchen appliances, accessories. There was even little handmade plush toys.

He rubbed the back of his neck.]

I never got around to making that small house now that I think about it...

[strengthinkindness]

[She gasped softly.] Oh wow...! You made all these...?

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur started to blush again as he looked down.]

W-Well you know i-it um...

Y-Yea...

I-I know th-they kinda look doll like b-but I... Y-Y'know..

[strengthinkindness]

They're so cute...!

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur smiled as he looked up as he picked up a couple of the plush toys and gave them to her.]

Here you can cuddle with these-And-And... Oh! Oh!

I made a little book see?

[He picked up the tiny book and it had nothing but silly doodles in em.]

I... Didn't have a printer back then so I...

OH OH!

[Arthur reached more inside as he pulled out a comfy chair as placed it behind her. And pulled up a coffee table with a little mini cup on it.]

Look look! You can be even more comfortable too! Look at that!

[strengthinkindness]

[She giggles softly, taking one of the plush toys and hugging it.] These will be useful when I come to visit...

[hisheadintheclouds]

AND I GOT ALL THESE DRESSES YOU CAN WEAR!

[Pulls out the whole rack full of really adorable but tacky doll like dresses. He gave a big goofy grin down at her.]

[hisheadintheclouds]

...

[Then looks down.]

Yet again those are probably outdated...

[strengthinkindness]

[She giggles softly.]

They're still pretty cute though...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[He took out one as he showed it to her.]

This nightgown one would at least come in handy.

[Looking around as he placed it back.]

I think the kitchen appliances should work properly too, we just need a couple of candles for the stove to work properly...

[Arthur rubbed his chin.]

Now I could make doll house or I could make small rooms...

[strengthinkindness]

[Running her hand over the nightgown, she nodded.] Mm...

[She let him talk a while, though she was impressed that these things really did work.]

Which would be easier?

[hisheadintheclouds]

[He looked up as he scratched his head.]

Well small rooms might take more time since I would have to make a space in a wall.

A doll house might be easier on me.

Also it would give you lots of space and things to do in it.

[strengthinkindness]

[She nods.] That sounds good then...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur gives an small smile.]

S-Since you brought up the subject... Incidentally...

I-I was kinda thinking about hosting a dinner party sometime for you and our friends. A-Although... I might need help making the small food.

I mean I've made small food before but...

[strengthinkindness]

[Her expression brightens and she nods.]

Oh, that sounds like a lovely idea...! And I'd love to help...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur grinned.]

Really?

Oh that's great!

[He reached in to bring up Fluttershy to his cheek and cuddle.]

We're gonna have so much fun Fluttershy!

[strengthinkindness]

[She nods, snuggling against his cheek.]

Mm...!

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur grinned as he looked down at her.]

We could have a Halloween Party, a Thanksgiving Party, a Christmas Party-I haven't had one of those in a long time!

It would be so cool to do it again!

[strengthinkindness]

Mm, that would be a lot of fun...!

Especially if we could decorate the castle a little bit...It would look really nice...
