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 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...?

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Giggles as he looks down at some of the decorations.]

Nah, these are all my mom's, I'm pretty sure she made all these anyway.

Although the bat banner I think I helped make.

[He held up the banner which seemed to be haphazardly cut out bats that were sewn together.]

Mmm, not bad.

[strengthinkindness]

Oh, that does look really nice...

[The bats would be cute if they weren't supposed to be spooky-looking.]

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur smiled as he put it down and picked up the autumn decorated cloth and the few other items that were generic fall themed.]

I guess I can take these things out first.

Hmmmm, I wonder who I should dress up as for Halloween though...

[strengthinkindness]

Is there anything you'd like to try and dress up as...?

[hisheadintheclouds]

Hmmm, I always wanted to dress up as a noble prince.

[Snorts.]

But that's not scary.

[Mutters.]

Maybe a zombie prince...

[strengthinkindness]

It doesn't always have to be scary... [Actually, she rather wished others didn't try to wear such scary costumes.]

[hisheadintheclouds]

There's also a Ghostbuster, but that'd might be too much work to make the pack in my size.

I mean I COULD but would I have the time.

[strengthinkindness]

[She giggles a little.]

Maybe I could help...?

[hisheadintheclouds]

Well... If you don't mind helping me with that sure!

Maybe you can dress up as the ghost I get to capture.

[strengthinkindness]

[She blushes a bit.]

O-Oh...well...at least I wouldn't be hard to capture then...
