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!"

It certainly was nice out here, wasn't it? He got a minor thrill every time he could kick a few leaves up into the air, watching them flutter back down with a small giggle. It was early yet, but it was already looking like a promising walk with Wembley, and there was yet the bigger gathering planned for once the sun set, too. But that was then, and this was now, and right now...

"Wembley!" He laughed, grinning alongside at him. "That's the third pinecone you've picked up already!"
