Oh yes, it's practically expected of me. My family does quite the Halloween fiesta.

[thumbsdown]

Wouldn't mind checking it out. Goldenrod seems like a pretty decent place to do it, too. Lot of people. What kinda stuff does it involve?

[a_sin_for_him]

There's a great deal of candy and special foods not available the rest of the year.

It depends. On Halloween night I take Wrath out for tricks or treats, it's a tradition for children where they go door to door for candy. But there's small fairs and spook houses and hayrides through pumpkin fields...

And costumes are traditional.

[thumbsdown]

Sounds like a big deal. Mind if I tag along? I'm sure Pointy will enjoy it too.

[Maybe he can dress the Drapion up. That would be interesting.]

[a_sin_for_him]

Of course not. It's generally a social sort of holiday.

But if you join us for tricks and treats, I should warn you, Wrath may be...it's only he's still a half wild thing and he's a child. I try and be.... careful with him and my men.

The men I bring home, I mean.

Oh, you know damned well what I mean.

[Because he has to by now. They travel together, they spend their free time in one another's company doing those things pairs did, she knows she's seen him looking at her...the same way she's looked at him. And she never would have mentioned it, but with Wrath...well...this needed mentioning.]

[His eyebrows raise a little and he has to take a moment to figure out how he's going to respond to that. Because while it's starting to become obvious they like each other, he still isn't sure how to address it.]

I... yeah. I know what you mean.

[Awkward silence goes here. And then-]

Well, hopefully it won't be a problem.

[He hopes not. He's curious about Halloween.]

[a_sin_for_him]

I doubt it will be a problem, simply...if he says anything strangely disturbing or that shakes your existential faith, he doesn't mean anything by it.

He's just...not like other children.

[thumbsdown]

Right. I'll keep that in mind.

[Well, he can't be any weirder than what Boone is already used to. Right?]

Thanks for the warning, though.
