"Does it?" Del smiled, looking down at the boy's bright eyes. "Then maybe we should! What will you do with it?" he asked, crouching down next to Monty, looking over the orange fruit. The child was fun to be around, to be honest. The excitable blonde always had something new to share. "A few years ago, my father and I decorated our house then with pumpkins," he said wryly. "I was a horrible child, though. We ended up with a pile of mangled pumpkins," he grinned. "Hopefully if you plan to carve them, you'd have better luck then I did."

Listening to the young boy's sharing admittedly brought about a nostalgic feeling in him. As Monty told him about what his mother and he did back in his home in Germany, it brought back a pang of longing for his own mother. When he had shared his own experiences with his father- - - which were the most fresh and the most vivid in his mind- - - what he had not expected was the emotional outburst the ash-blonde had had once he jokingly- - - or not- - - referred to himself as a 'horrible child.' Looking down at the boy, stunned, blue eyes met fiery hazel, the elder shocked at the amount of passion in the boy's voice and what he had said.

"Big brother?" he asked, still in disbelief. "Monty, did you just.....?"

He hadn't ever thought anyone would refer to him as big brother. Maybe once, a long time ago, when his mother was still here and he used to talk and run himself ragged telling stories about his day to his baby-sibling-in-the-tummy, prattling on about the things he did and the things they would do when his sibling had grown up. He had referred to himself using that term then, just like his parents did. It had been a long time, since then.

ᴄᴏʀᴀ walked through the pumpkin patch with her family, outerly serene, though she was actually quite annoyed. Her two twelve year olds had vanished on her, and she didn't think it was an accident. She should have expected this by now, but after the last festival or any sort they'd been too... she wanted all her children where she could see them. She bit back a sigh, noticing Vi looking at her with concern. "I'm fine, sweetie," she assured the little girl, picking up a small pumpkin and showing it to her. "Look at this little thing. It's like a baby, isn't it?" she smiled gently.

ɢᴀʀʀᴇᴛᴛ had an excited as usual Thea perched on his shoulders, who was crowing in delight at all the pumpkins. He glanced at Cora. "Ya know, if you're really worried, we could go root 'em. Yell at 'em in front of their mates, ruin their social lives forever," he joked with a grin. She just shook her head, muttering something about how they would never hear the end of it if they didn't "magically" reappear within the hour.

ᴜʀɪᴇʟ walked alongside his family, minus the twins, content. All the pumpkins were really cool, after all, and without Jess and Toby things were nice and calm, just the way he liked them. He smiled when Vi silently showed him the small pumpkin she'd hesitantly taken from Cora. "Look what Auntie found," she said so very quietly her cousin almost didn't hear her.

Uriel laughed. "It's pretty cute, huh?"

She nodded.

ᴇʟᴇᴀᴢᴀʀ trailed behind his older brother, talking happily with Thea. Despite the age difference, the two chatted like best friends, since he never talked down to his little sister, and she actually acted more mature around him, as if remembering when it had just been the two of them, alone on the streets. "Can we carve pumpkins this year?" he asked eagerly, getting a typical adult response of "maybe, we'll see". He seemed hopeful anyways, knowing his parents would cave eventually.

ᴠɪ stared at the small pumpkin like it was a treasure, ad clutched it like priceless gold. It was just so...adorable. She poked and prodded at it as she walked, humming an odd tune to herself. For once she seemed happy to be just doing nothing, outdoors, with her family. Though she missed Toby giving her a piggyback ride.

ᴛʜᴇᴀ pointed and gasped at the size of several huge pumpkins. "Daddy! Mumma! Look at that one! Ooh, and that one! They're so big!" She looked down at Eleazar from her perch, beaming. "Do ya see them, Lea?"

He nodded sagely.

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's a time to change, hey, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey, hey

Chris chuckled, smiling. "Maybe brooding is the wrong word then, obsess, probably. Our father's a workaholic, and he spends as much time at his office as he can. Mostly because he likes the work, but he's single-minded that way. You know how that is." He thought for a moment, thinking of things they could do together, but ended up shrugging. Well, he could always take her out for something to eat, right? It didn't bother him to do that. "Well, how about dinner then? I mean, maybe actually get out and about and well, have some times to ourselves without potential stalkers, I mean. Can't be too hard, right? I'm pretty sure there's a pub or something around we can go to. And my sister's with a friend. He's basically got her all night." If the way he was not worried about his sister concerned anyone, they didn't know Eretria. After all, he was convinced that anyone do anything wrong, and they would be in real trouble from her, and not him or Chalmes. After all, she had a wand, and knew how to use it.

But tell me, did you sail across the sun?
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated?
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star –
One without a permanent scar?
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?

Monty was shocked that instead of harsh or spiteful words of rejection that he was drawn into a warm hug by Del Rey who said it would be an honor to be his older brother making an enormous smile break out onto his face. It was a smile so wide that tears formed at the corner of his eyes but never fell. "DA! Da da da! I promise not cause no troubles!" He clung tighter to the older boy before releasing him with a smile wiping his eyes a bit. "So, can ve get ze Things pumpkin?"
