For when we come to summer's end, I'll go peacefully.

The world was a beautiful place. That was true beneath the ground as well, but everything up on the surface - even after a year - still inspired awe in Wembley. Autumn was wonderful, and he appreciated it more on his second experience. The first autumn he'd spent above-ground had been bittersweet; all those lovely colors, but they meant the leaves and plants were dying... Now, he had a bit of a better understanding of how things worked up here. Out on a walk with Gobo, he was able to appreciate it all. Everything seemed to bring him joy, from the nip in the air to-

"What a nice pinecone!"
gobetween: (Trash heap)

"My last-?" He cut himself off shortly when he saw what Wembley was doing right before he did it. A brief war between instinct to run and instinct to not let Wembley hurt humself had Gobo in a brief awkward split, that had the resulting catch mostly being Wembley landing on him and pushing him to the ground.

Then again, with their similar sizes that would've been the end result anyway.

He lay there stunned a moment, then laughed lightly and looked up at him. "Hello."

"Nice jump. Try it over water sometime, I bet Red would be jealous."

Getting to his feet, he gathered up the apples, dividing them up with two- and, after a brief moment with his knife on the fifth -and a half each. Man, they smelled even better up close! This would be a great snack for their walk.
gobetween: (See you later!)

"I think every season's got something good in it!" He worked on the half apple first, continuing to cut chunks off with his knife.

"Summer is probably my favorite, though. The air's alive with play, and the weather is almost always nice enough to hang out and explore, and when it's not it's nice enough for a swim!"

"Yeah, that too! It's nice to see all the birds around again." He was silent a moment or two, thinking.

"You like birds a lot, huh Wembley?"
gobetween: (So that's Plan G. What do you think?)

"Yeah, that bird was pretty cool." He took his idea and folded it up, carefully tucking it away in a mental pocket for the next time he spoke with Chris.

"Oh! Daniel was telling me the other day about this neat farm just outside of Birchpointe that does some fall stuff! Hay rides, and pumpkin carving, and corn mazes." He snickered some. "I don't know what some of that stuff is, but it sounds great!"
gobetween: (See? You figured it out!)

"Sure! We'll check it out tomorrow, alright?" Finishing the half apple, he started in on another one. "The perfect continuation of our autumnal adventurous expedition."

Red wasn't the only one who could use several words like that in a row.
gobetween: (The Master Plan)

He laughed warmly, if only because that'd been exactly what he had been trying to get out of using that phrase.

"Making it an annual thing sounds like a great idea!"
