[For Lystra] Hope there's enough leaves...

[thistle_muncher]

It's been unseasonably warm, not extraordinarily so, but enough that one hasn't needed a winter coat to go out, during the past few days. But the leaves have fallen off the majority of the trees, even a good number of the oaks which are always the last to drop their leaves

Lystra just so happens to be out for a walk, and when she comes across the huge pile of leaves, she stops and stares at it in wonder. It takes a moment for her to notice the little grey donkey.

"Eeyore?"

He looks up, a sprig of oak leaves on his head. "Hello, Lystra," he says. "Don't mind me: been moving lots of leaves, making a big pile of them. Lots of work, hope it's big enough."

"It's perfect!" Lystra is thrilled. "It's so big!"

"You can jump into it, if you like," he says. "Or crawl into it, whichever is easier. Crawling in might be easier since you're a big person."
