Phoenix Maplewood will rise up

halloween themed thread i; tag(s) for reference!

though phoenix maplewood is further from the glacier than wintersbane has travelled in some time, he nevertheless makes the trip. @Meerkat had mentioned ( at some point or another ) about a wild pumpkins growing there and the tundrian seeks the wild patch out now. though he is, admittedly, not one for traditions he does not dare deny the fun a cub could have with a pumpkin ...or perhaps a tasty snack it might offer.

it is easy enough to find it; though the pumpkins are a range of colors: some are pale as bone, some as green as the grass underfoot; others the tell-tale jackolantern orange. he ventures up to one: a rotund, lumpy orange one and grasps it by the vine it's tethered too, attempting to lift it up —

only to find that it's heavy and that if he budges it a few inches from the ground it is not for long. it falls with a thump back to the earth and the tundrian gives a low grunt of contemplation.
