Happy Halloween!
There was excitement in the air.
Halloween wasn't necessarily a small event in Chaldea. Not to say that it wasn't celebrated -in the past they of course had done parties and trick of treating for the "young" heroes. It had been fun but having an actual human child at Halloween was something else entirely. There was a different energy this time that even Jack would admit too.
So, this particular holiday was more or less centered around Rin. Not that she seemed to mind. From what costume she wanted to wear, who would make it, to what games they would play at the party and of course who wanted to Rin to stop by their room for trick or treating along with the regular group.
Rin for her part was perfectly happy to go along with everything. Atalanta had the sneaking suspicion that Rin was milking it for all it's worth. In fact, she was so happy she continuously ignored the ongoing glare that Berserker kept throwing her way. "You look very handsome." she said solemnly in an effort to curb his grumpiness. Her words full of seriousness and sincerity.
"Rin, are you finished getting dressed? We have to go soon!" Atalanta called from the living room.
Squealing, Rin pushed back her bangs, her blue eyes brimming with happiness. Nothing was going to spoil her mood. Grabbing her basket she skipped out of her room with Berserker following her sulking.
"I'm ready!" Rin said burst into the living room as Atalanta examined her critically. At that sight of Rin, Atalanta fought the urge to throw her arms around the girl and just hug her to death. She was just so cute! UGH! Standing there, Rin looked up at her with big blue eyes decked out in her black and red checkered dress, her red cloak draping over shoulders perfectly.
"Ah, let's pull your hair back. Can't have your hair in your way can you, Little Red Riding Hood?" Atalanta said as she grabbed a nearby comb and quickly braided Rin's hair. Berserker huffed in the background noisily as Rin pulled up the red hood to her cloak after she was done.
"Since when does the wolf wear a bow?" Berserker grumbled as he tugged on the red bow Rin had tied around his neck.
"AHH~ Bererkerrrrr! Don't pull it off" Rin's voice wailed as she reached over to straighten the bright red bow. "I told you before! You're not a BAD wolf! You're a good wolf! Got it?"
Atalanta fought the urge to laugh as Berserker succumbed to Rin's pleading. Oh, how he was going to be teased tonight. There was no way he would ever live this down. No amount of growling or threatening would ever erase the image of Berserker with fake wolf ears and a fluffy red bow around his neck. Rin had really done a number on Berserker's image. He was really smitten by the young girl.
"..but why does she get to be the huntsman?" Berserker muttered loudly as Rin pulled him out the door.
Rin: Red Riding Hood
Berserker: The not so bad wolf
Atalanta: Huntsman(but not really)
