heavy were the pawsteps, once intentionally light but now loud, not to terrify the child with silence but the sound, letting the youth know of their approach. the kingpin had been in search of their cider not long ago, much in need of such a thing in the hours of the night when rest would not find them. jaws stretched in a yawn, the jaguar bodied shifter trolled along, the child's slightly milky scent giving them a trail to follow. rumbling softly, they came across the jack-o-lanterns sitting upon the doorsteps of each village house. the trail led forward to the largest one of them all, the kingpin's maw twisting into a chuckle, eyes taking in the half emptied bottles of orange liquor and apple cider.

they hoped that the cub residing inside hadn't drunk them, if any of it. shaking their head with an amused huff, their nose picked up on the scent of oranges, their blue eyes sparkling with amusement - so this was where their orange candies had gone. someone surey had a sweet-tooth, and who were they to judge? raising a paw to their mouth, they smothered their chuckle, "oh my, i wonder who took my candy? oh where, oh where, could the culprit be hiding?", they grinned, purposefully turning their back to wuyi's jack-o-lantern hide out.
