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.

[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Yet again those are probably outdated...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...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur nodded.]

Yea! Think of all the decorations I could do with this place!

[He hummed, as he rubbed his chin in thought.]

I'm gonna a need a lot of supplies for this...

[strengthinkindness]

I'm sure we could find some things to work with...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur looked off in the distance.]

... I wonder if I got stuff in the attic...

[He looked down as he gave a sorta grin.]

I haven't been up there in a while, might be cause it's kinda creepy going up there by myself.

[strengthinkindness]

[She nods in understanding.] Mm...attics can be really scary sometimes...

But...maybe if you went with someone...? W-We can...take a look...if you want...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur smiled softly as he held up to his pocket.]

If you don't mind sure, hopefully it's not too dusty for you up there.

I-I mean if you want I can find a little handkerchief for you before we go.

[strengthinkindness]

[She nods, slipping into his pocket.]

I don't mind...But that might be helpful, thank you...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Nodding as he reached into the treasure chest full of the human sized items. Carefully digging through one of the drawers as he pulled out a little daisy designed handkerchief and handed it to Fluttershy. Giving a grin as he closed the chest.]

Alright, let's go.

[Heading out toward the hallway, he went up the stairs, to another hallway, then up another staircase. Then finally reaching a door, which looked worn and untouched. He paused as he looked at it, before swallowing his throat and opening it, which made a loud creeeeeeeeeeeeek. He stepped back slightly, before tilting his head up the winding black staircase. Little dust particles the only thing seen from the light leading up to the attic. He gave out a noise of uncertainty.]

[strengthinkindness]

[Fluttershy peeked out from inside Arthur's pocket, giving a small noise herself.] I-It's really dark up here...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur looked down at Fluttershy with uneasy smile.]

Y-Yea, I keep forgetting about that...

[Clears his throat as he began to climb to approach the steps.]

But I'm not afraid of something as simple as dark-

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Annnnd the wind from a near by window caught the door as he it swung itself shut. Making a loud CLACK, which made Arthur flail and yelp as he held his hand over Fluttershy protectively as his other hand caught himself against the railing.]

WHAAA-GAAH-WASSS THAT-?!
