Pumpkin Patch Pals

“You’ll think of something” Mercury said as she admitted to the lack of name. She was quickly taken with his idea of using the dye to draw out the shape she wanted. As she dipped a paw into, he wondered if introducing her to dye had really been a fantastic idea. He had a fleeting image of her painting every available surface of the castle, and her mother having something to say about it. Shaking away the thought, he watched as she started to trace some shapes on her pumpkin friend.

He could assume that the first image was an eye. It could be a mouth, but he reckoned it was too high up for that. As she finished painting he leaned forward - only for her to realise they were missing a vital step of the process. “You know, I think you're right about that” he agreed. “I haven’t carved a pumpkin before, so I think you're the expert of the two of us.” He said, flashing her a smile. “Should I cut the top off about… here?” he asked, tracing a line with his paw near the top of the pumpkin. “and then do we use our paws to scoop out the bits?” He asked. He was sure she would love being able to take the lead.
