Mercury was doing rounds in the castle grounds. The Hallows territory was almost as familiar to him as his own paws. Certainly, it was starting to feel a lot more like home. It was a nice feeling, knowing how familiar the paths were becoming to him. He could see himself living out his entire life here. If only life would stop throwing him curveballs.
He was just coming up towards the greenhouse, when he came across the sight of the brown wolf and her prize. He paused, taking in the full of it. There was Talyssa, on her haunches, tongue out panting. And beside her, was one of the biggest pumpkins he had ever seen. It was almost as big as the pup was! He trotted forward, tilting his head as he admired pup and pumpkin. “Making friends, are we?” He asked, amusement in his eyes as he came to a stop on the other side of the pumpkin. He took a seat, and leaned on the other side of the pumpkin. Luckily, it made a sturdy rest and he was careful not to put too much weight on it. Just the thought of sticking a hole in her prize was enough to lead him to caution.

“Are you going to introduce me?” Mercury continued as she agreed with gleet that she had been making friends. Interacting with Arts kids was definitely a highlight of any given day, and he offered her an amusement smile, falling silent as she spoke. He obediently brought his attention to the wilting display as she pointed it out to him, and then back to the pumpkin.
The idea that he too was told he couldn’t use knives brought an amusement smile to the Ermis’s face. “I think we can work something out here. How about, you use some of the dye that has been harvested from the flowers to draw what you want on the pumpkin, and i’ll carve out the picture?” He suggested. He was more than happy to be the knife-wielding part of the activity. That kept the pup within the bounds of what she was allowed without missing out on any of the fun. Getting to his paws, he indicated a container of dye, to see what she thought of that part of the plan. “As for the knife.. Do you think these might work just as well?” he asked, raising a paw and extending his elongated and sharp claws. They would be able to pierce the pumpkin just fine, through he might find his paw a little pumpkin stained by the end of it.

“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.

She agreed with his line, and he got to work. Carefully sawing at the pumpkin with his claws. Making a careful line until he had made a full circle. He used another claw to ‘pop’ the top off, and expose the pumpkin bits inside. “I think your mum has the right idea. Why don’t you scoop out the worst of it, and then I’ll start carving while you clean out the rest?” he suggested. That should keep them both busy.
He pushed the pumpkin gently, leaning it towards her so she would have a better vantage to start scooping. He would hold it steady as she got the worst of it out, and then trotted off to pick out a rock in the garden, dragging it forward to give her a step-stall. Enough of the pumpkin was scooped out at this point that he could get started on the carving. Allowing both wolves to be busy at work. He started to sketch a claw across her dye drawing first. Getting the feel for the outline. He didn’t want to screw up the kids' work, after all. “So, this is the second pumpking you’ve carved?” he asked conversationally as he made the first cut.
He squinted, his face an expression of concentration as he made a careful line across the eye. “You seem pretty interested in the growing side of things. Are you thinking of becoming a healer?” He asked her. This was the second time he had found her around the garden after all.
