Mm. If any of the other kids made pumpkins, invite them along too.
[Since they worked hard, too. Slowly, she carves out another eye - another thin, narrow line.

Are you basking in my glory? [Hikage's been in and out of the system for longer than Charity's been old enough to volunteer, so they aren't exactly the deepest relationship the world's ever known. Charity's only a few years older than her, after all - Hikage hardly even thinks of her as an adult. And they haven't spent enough time together to have any kind of sisterly relationship. They're more like cousins, maybe.
But there's something comforting about having her around, and the fact that she is a volunteer is a reminder to Hikage of all the people that have helped her out.]
... Kidding. I'm not that great. [With the eyes done, she starts to carve in the mouth.]
