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.

[She couldn't help gigging softly.] That does sound like a cute story.

Though I'm surprised it was that easy to stop the Mouse King...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur chuckled as he put away the toys.]

Yea I'm kinda surprised myself, but I DO believe that's how the story went. My mom had this storybook of Christmas stories she'd read to me every year and that was one of them.

But you know, I guess being defeated by a tiny shoe is better than being defeated by a sword or something more deadly. Maybe he just thought it was a rude gesture and was like OKAY FINE.

[Pretends to slugs off.]

I SEE HOW IT IS.

MICE HATERS.

[Giggles down at her.]

[strengthinkindness]

[She laughed at that.]

I suppose...It'd be nice if things were always that easy.

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Shrugs.]

Yea, I guess that's why they're children's stories.

Christmas stories in particular are pretty soft told.

Not that I mind at all though.

[strengthinkindness]

[She nods.] Mm...Christmas stories are some of my favorite...

[hisheadintheclouds]

I always liked the Grinch.

That grumpy guy turned out to be so adorable in the end.

[strengthinkindness]

[She nodded.] Oh yes, that's a good story...Or like A Christmas Carol...

[hisheadintheclouds]

Awww yea! Scrooge!

Humbug!

I love that one too!

[strengthinkindness]

[She giggles.] I always love those kind of stories...where someone changes for the better in the end...

[hisheadintheclouds]

Awww yea, those always give me hope too.

[Arthur placed his hand softly over his heart.]

It's definitely what I need sometimes...

[strengthinkindness]

[She smiles up at him.] I think everyone could use it sometimes...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur let his finger up as he softly petted Fluttershy's hair.]

Yea... I think...

Everyone needs to be reminded of what's really important sometimes.

Cause it can be easily forgotten.

[strengthinkindness]

[She smiles, closing her eyes at his touch.]

Mm...that's why I think it's important...to be able to remind others...to show kindness to those who might have forgotten...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Letting his finger softly grace her hair and shoulders in the pets. As he gotten a bit lost in the touch himself.]

Yea... I almost forgotten that kindness, I was scared about showing my true self around others.

But then I met you, and you helped me not be afraid anymore.

[strengthinkindness]

[Opening her eyes to look up at him, she smiled gently.]

I'm glad I could help...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur smiled softly as he reached to holds her up and kiss the top of her head.]

I'll keep trying to be as kind too...

[Blushes as he looks down in a chuckle.]

I'm still surprised about all those letters...

[strengthinkindness]

[She smiles.]

You deserve them, though...You help so many people...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur rubbed his eyes as he smiled.]

Guess that's always been something I can't help but do.

To me it was just common courtesy, someone is not doing well and I can help? Sure I can help.

[Chuckles as he placed Fluttershy back into his pocket.]

Probably also helps I have to keep myself selfless.

[strengthinkindness]

[She settled in his pocket, still smiling up at him.]

Still, to others...that means the world to them...

A little bit of kindness can go a long way.

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur blushed as he looked to the side, still beaming.]

I-I'm really glad then, I never imagine it would get to that for me, but it did.

[Clears his throat as he waves his hand.]

Alright, alright, gosh-L-Let's, let's find more of those boxes before I get all emotional cry baby again.

[strengthinkindness]

[She can't help but giggle softly.] Okay...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Giggling with her as he began to pull away more sheets and he came across the box of Halloween items.]

Ah-Here's closer to what's coming up.

[Opens up the box to vintage halloween decorations. He holds up a little old style cartoon ghost sign.]

Spooky~!

[strengthinkindness]

[She laughed softly.]

It's so scary...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur holds up what looks like a bat banner and a witch hat. He placed the hat on his head. As he began to have fun, his voice going high and graggly.]

S'cuse me, I am the Gingerbread Witch Lady.

Which way did the naughty children go so I can eat th-I mean give them all the cookies! Yes, that's exactly what Gingerbread Witch Ladies do. I-It's just a stereotype, NOW WOULD YOU LIKE SOME MORE COOKIES?

[Gives a giggle as he put the witch hat down.]

These are great.

[strengthinkindness]

[She laughs.]

Did you make those yourself...?
