It seemed Abby was as determined to win this leaf war as Guinevere! No matter, Guin was not one to give up on something like this! She was too competitive. But Abby just looked so silly all covered in dirt and leaves, Guin started laughing...and...got a couple leaves shoved into her mouth. "Gack!" She spat them out away from Abby, still laughing, and trying to get as much leaf bits off her face as possible.
Of course you know, this means war.
"Ooh! 'M makin' Seduire." Or trying to, at least. Seduire's feathers ruffled a bit, hopping onto a clear part of the table in front of Sera and titling his head.
You're painting me? He asked with pleasant disbelief. Him? Really? How flattering! ...Wait, this gourd seemed rather fat. Was he fat? Oh well, it wasn't the gourd's fault it was morbidly obese. The farmer must have just given it too much water. Poor little gourd. Sera grinned and nodded, taking the white paint now and adding a circle to the red mark on the back of Seduire's head. The daemon sat down with his chest puffed out proudly, making the girl giggle again.
"He's silly. Do you have a piggy?" She was painting a piggy! So did that mean she had one?

Abby collapsed laughing them, splaying out in the leaf pile like she was making a snow-angel. The leaf battle had been fun, but now she was tired. There was only so much beating her little body could take, and her lungs burned from the cold!
Hannah smiled when she heard what her new friend was painting, and then looked back at her piggy, painting eyes and some pointy ears.
"No. No peddat home."

Guin had found her stick again and was picking at leaves, making a sort of leaf shish kabob. Huzzah! Only...this didn't look very appetizing. Oh wait...speaking of appetizing...where'd her apple treat go? Guinevere blinked and put her stick down, only just now realizing that she'd never properly thrown it away. Agh! Something sticky was on her leg! Something sticky was on her leg! The girl suddenly gasped and stood up, watching as the very caramel apple she'd been wondering about fell from her stocking. "Ewww, should've thrown it away." She stuck her tongue out and picked the apple up by its stick, holding it between her thumb and index finger like one would hold something totally revolting. Well it was! It was all covered in dirty and bits of leaves and broken pieces of twigs! "Oh. They're fun!" Sera smiled. Seduire wasn't her pet per se but she couldn't exactly explain it right now. Hm...now...did she want to paint the entire thing while? The stared at it for a moment or two and started painting a pair of white wings, having decided that it'd take too long to paint it all white and then wait for it to dry. Plus, she didn't have enough paint for that! And it'd take forever without a bigger brush. Black feathers were added after the white wings were done, and she finally felt satisfied with her finished product. But...something was missing. She looked at Seduire, and then the gourd, and then Seduire again, then finally one last look at the gourd. Oh! His beak! Duh! She picked up another paint brush and painted the end of the gourd's handle with the yellow like a beak. Now she was satisfied. "Ta daaa!" She smiled proudly and held her arms out to present the Seduire gourd to Hannah.

"Ewwwww!" Abby said, still laughing. She'd forgotten about the apple herself and was privately glad that she hadn't been the one to step in it. Honestly, that was gross! She did stumble up out of the leaves though and walk for the nearest garbage can, waiting for Guin to join her.
Hannah clapped and smiled when she saw Sera's creation. "Vewy naice," she said, and then gestured to her own. Oh no! Wait! She scribbled a squiggly little tail up on the neck and giggled.
"Look!"

Guinevere was quick to follow Abby to the garbage can, dropping her gross apple in without a second thought. Of course both girls were still totally covered in leaves and dirt, and when Guin saw this she started laughing louder. They were a total mess! And the leaves were destroyed! Oh man, someone was going to be mad when they saw that!
Their gourds were perfect! Sera giggled. "S'cute!" And it even had a little curly tail! It was perfect! It looked more like a teardrop than a piggy, but it was still really good.
"Le's show your daddy and my mommy!"

Abby had, of course, forgoten about her unspoken promise to clean up the leaves. Fun was not followed by cleaning. Fun was followed by more fun.
"Yeah!" Hannah agreed, grabbing her piggy and Sera's hand to go to their parents. Korri had been chatting idly with Crescentia, who he'd actually grown quite find of (aside from her clearly promiscuous nature...I mean, really). He looked up when the kids approached and took Hannah's piggy in his hands.
"Wow! It's a great piggy!"

Yeah, they both knew those leaves weren't going to be raked up again by them. They looked like leaf monsters as it was, Guin had a feeling that if she was to even go near that pile again she'd end up ruining it more rather than fixing it.
Sera grinned and picked up her gourd by its neck, it was too big to hold in one hand by the base and the paint was still somewhat wet so it had to be held carefully. Seduire hopped off the table and followed the two little girls, helping support the gourd on his back incase the neck was weak.
Crescentia wasn't doing anything promiscuous, she was just fine with chatting with Hannah and Abby's father. It wasn't like she went around looking for sex. When the girls came over to them she smiled brightly, waving to Sera and Hannah. Piggy? Oh, Hannah's gourd. Sera let go of Hannah's hand to give her mother the Seduire gourd, smiling proudly. "Wow, honey! Is this Seduire? It looks just like him!"
"Uh huh!" She pointed to Hannah's. "An' Hannah gots a piggy!" Crescentia turned to see the piggy that Sera was talking about.
And then she immediately coughed a few times to cover up a laugh.
Sera blinked. "Momma?" Was she okay? Was she getting sick? The gypsy laughed sheepishly and waved her hand dismissively, smiling sweetly.
"I'm fine, just had a little something in my throat. That's a great..uh..piggy, Hannah." Oh god, Crescentia.

Hannah beamed and clasped her hands behind her back, swinging. "Thanks!" she chimed. Ah, the innocence of youth. Some day she would look back on this and laugh. For now, she didn't understand.
Korri was a bit innocent himself, and so tilted his head and whispered to Crescentia. "What?"

Crescentia shook her head when Korri questioned her little coughing fit. She wasn't going to look like a one-track minded fool, because she wasn't one! Really, she wasn't! Smiling warmly, she looked up to see Guinevere leading Abby hand-in-hand back to their families...and then the smile fell to a slight frown. "Guiiiin, you're all dirty!" The gypsy sighed and ran her fingers through her hair, standing up and brushing herself off.
"We were playing in the leaves!" Guin beamed proudly, letting go of Abby to fix her sagging scarf and pick a few leaves out of her pigtails. Sera giggled, picking up Seduire again to give him a hug and hold him as she had been before. Why was Mommy standing now? Oh no! Did they have to leave now?! The little girl frowned and looked up at her dirty sister.
"I saw that, I didn't realize you'd gotten so dirty from it. We'll need to get you home so you can take a bath." Both Guinevere and Seraphine whined in protest. Sera was right! They did have to leave now! Crescentia tilted her head to the twins as a silent 'Say goodbye now' signal to the twins, turning back to Korri to offer him her hand and smile. "It was a pleasure to meet you, Korri. And your adorable girls, but we should head home now. Call me anytime they want to play, alright?"
Seraphine put down Seduire to hug Hannah goodbye, pouting over the fact that they had to leave. There was always next time, she supposed. "Bye bye, Hannah!" She chirped, changing her pout to a smile when she let go of the other girl.
Guin had bent down a little to hug Abby too, picking a leaf out of the other girl's hair with a giggle. "Next time we should find some snow to play in!" And then they could make snowballs and snowmen and snow angels and snow forts! It'd be awesome! Crescentia pat her girls on their heads when they were finished with their goodbyes, patting them forward in the direction of home as she waved to Abby, Hannah and Korri.
