Log;


Monday after the Circus, Charlie didn't feel much like leaving her and Merlin's room in the mansion. She wasn't entirely certain the Circus really was gone but this can be chalked up to a huge mistrust of the Deities. They didn't seem to have the best control of the place, in her opinion.

But Tuesday, she was feeling alright enough to leave the house and the two of them decided they needed out. Just the two of them. Not for anything. It was just a reason to spend time with each other. Plus, Charlie had it in her head that they were going to carve pumpkins for Halloween.

Some time later, Charlie was walking down one of the City streets, her fingers laced through Merlins. Right now, it was just wandering. Eventually they'd make it to the grocery store but she was having fun taking her time.

No. Charlie probably did things on purpose to see how many odd faces she could get out of Arthur, just because she was a pain in the butt.

Passing houses and storefronts, Charlie looked at a few carved pumpkins in the window. To Merlin, she asks with a smirk;

"How hard would it be to convince Arthur to carve a pumpkin with us? He said he wanted one with his family crest, but he's going to have to do it himself."

Because really, Arthur. That's no fun for anyone except him.

Merlin wasn't familiar with carved pumpkins, but he found that they were really pretty amazing when you were walking by them. It seemed like such a simple thing, but some people had really managed to make something incredible with them. The Pendragon family crest...

Well, that sounded very complicated. He could probably do it with magic, but that wouldn't be the same at all.

"Not that hard."

Charlie'd teach him. She'd teach him all manner of fun things to do with pumpkins. Like making pies and pumpkin soup. Her favorite, though? Roasting the pumpkin seeds.

"We'll figure it out. I'm sure he has a picture of it somewhere." Charlie's still studying pumpkins, noting the designs and finding some amusement in some of them. The pumpkins were giving way to store-front decorations and those were less interesting, if Charlie were going to be honest.

"They make these guides you can buy that show how to cut out different patterns." Charlie smiles at Merlin, glancing at a couple more storefronts. They were nearing the grocery. "We can get one of those. And stuff to snack on while we're working."
