[OTA] Pumpkin Faces

The weather was somewhat back under control, a little chill but certainly not an unhealthy one. The snow was melting, and the colors were turning, and that made Juan Pedro want to be outside.

His youngest class was in the middle of the afternoon, after school, and he decided that instead of dance lessons, today they would carve pumpkins. He'd purchased a whole bunch of them, and had them set up in the green, and he surprised the kids by claiming a field trip where he took them outside, and presented to them their trip.

Pumpkins, paper, child safe scissors, child safe carving sets, glue, paint, brushes, a whole assortment of goodies to do up some great jack o lanterns. They wouldn't last til halloween but they'd certainly be a fun, creative way to spend an afternoon outdoors. And there were plenty of the orange squashes for more than just his students. If any adults or young people decided to come and join the fun, the better.

To keep in the mood of Spanish dance class, he'd set up a sound system that was playing latin music, as he sat down with the kids to start working on a pumpkin. So far, it seemed a great success.

"Next week?" She offered, and then shrugged. "I'm going off-Deck towards the end of the month, so..."

She had a feeling Victor was probably a little amused at her repressed excitement over Prague.

"It should be fine. Your kitchen?" She didn't have a private one, so otherwise they'd be baking under the stern eye of Chives.

If they go to his mother's, she has a feeling she'd get the questions about Victor that she gets when she has dinner with her grandmother. "The Club kitchens probably have more room," she said. "More people to judge."

She clasped his hand and then offered him an impish grin before whispering. "You know, if you kiss my hand, they'll be buzzing for at least a week."

"Horrible, terrible people," she murmured back, before stepping away. "Adiós, Juan Pedro." She waved, then, before turning on her heel to make her way back to Spade Castle.
