A Wreath for Samhain

Mercury was walking past the garden. Keeping a brisk pace as he warmed his muscles and worked to keep in shape. With strange things going on in Auster, it wouldn’t do to let himself take a break. He was about to pass the greenhouse by when he noticed the tiny form of one of the Aegis’s first litter inside. Her paws were full of flowers. He paused, and then stopped. Back tracking towards the door which he opened to glance in. He’d been given the names of all the pups, and it took him a second to recall which of them this was. “Talyssa? What have you got there?” He asked, looking at the bright array she had gathered for herself.

“Are you picking some flowers for your room?” he asked, or perhaps she’d found a teacher who was encouraging her to learn the names of the flowers. It was hard to say if it was business of pleasure. He knew so many in the castle were eager to help the little ones learn.
