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 giggles.] No, nothing like that...

I did have to wear a cover over my wings, though...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur made an oh okay as he took out his hand from his mouth. Giggling as looked back down at her.]

Well if you dress up as a ghost you won't have to cover your wings.

All you'd have to do is probably put make up on, look all white and spooky.

[strengthinkindness]

[Another small laugh.]

I'm not sure if I can really look too spooky.

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Gives a giggle with her.]

That's alright, you can be a friendly ghost!

And I'll be like, hey! Don't mess with this one, she's sweet, kind, and adorable!

No touchy mm-mm.

[strengthinkindness]

[She blushes again, but still giggles.]

That...might be fun...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur smiled as he placed her back in his pocket.]

We'll give it a think.

For now, let's go ahead and get this autumn stuff downstairs.

Might as well prepare as best as we can.

[Gives a hum.]

I'll have to see if I can get pumpkin too, I don't think I've ever carved a Jack O Lantern before yet.

[strengthinkindness]

Oh really...? They're a lot of fun to make...though it can be a bit difficult too...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur smiled as he rubbed the back of his neck.]

I think I might have been too young to use the knife to carve the pumpkins when we used to do that.

[Before messy with his floofy hair and then picking up the box to carry downstairs.]

We got a couple growing in the garden.

I'm not sure how big they've gotten by now, hopefully big enough.

[strengthinkindness]

They should be big enough by autumn...They have time to grow...

[hisheadintheclouds]

Yea usually around this time they're okay.

I think I'm mainly thinking this cause I haven't been up here in a while to check on my fruits and veggies.

[Shrugs.]

I'm sure they're okay, the weather has been pretty regular from what I observed.

[strengthinkindness]

Mm...we can...go out and see, if you'd like...

[hisheadintheclouds]

Sure, gimme just a few minutes here then~

[As Arthur made his way through the castle. He placed the autumn supplies box down in the living room, before going out to kitchen storage and outside. Looking around as he placed his hand over his eyes. The garden seemed to be okay.

Although a couple of the fruits and vegetables seemed to have been munched on.]

... Hrn boy, those animals sure did miss me.

[strengthinkindness]

[She giggles a little.]

Mm...I'm sure they did...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Gives a chuckle.]

Oh well, let's check on those pumpkins huh?

[Come over to the squash section. He gently kneeled down and saw the pumpkins indeed have grown just fine. Arthur held out his hand for Fluttershy to hop onto so she can see them, these pumpkins were so much bigger than her.]

They look alright to me, what do you think?

[strengthinkindness]

[When she was close enough, Fluttershy hopped off Arthur's hand an landed on the pumpkin, placing her ear to it as she lightly knocked on the hard shell.]

Mm...it seems to be growing fine...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur kneeled down as knocked on the other one beside it.]

Hm, yet, they seem to be alright.

[Gives a grin to her.]

So, imagine all the pumpkin things we're gonna get from this.

Pumpkin pie, pumpkin seeds, do you like those?

[strengthinkindness]

Oh yes, I love those...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Smiles as he started to carefully removed the vines from the pumpkins.]

I oughta make you some of the pumpkin cookies.

Those are my favorite kind.

[strengthinkindness]

Pumpkin cookies...? I don't think I've had those before...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Gives bright smile.]

Oh! You haven't, oh gosh. That's a really good recipe!

[Looks up in thought.]

I think that's one of the ones that's been in the family for a long time.

[Grins down at her.]

They're soft, but oh gosh they are a delight.

[strengthinkindness]

Mm...they sound really good...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur smiled as he pushed away all the vines as he wrapped his arms around the pumpkin.]

Wanna ride in my pocket or the giant squash?

[strengthinkindness]

[She giggles, flying up a little to sit on the pumpkin's stem.]

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur grinned down at her as he carefully picked up the pumpkin from the patch and carried it inside. He placed it on the table. Gives a playful gasp.]

It's the Great Pumpkin! We have graced the Great Pumpkin in our presence!

Now we will blessed with the magic of All Hallows Eves with all the spookies!

[strengthinkindness]

[Fluttershy giggles.]

All hail the Great Pumpkin...!
