Mahmud was dealing with his own problems over in his corner; Farmer had gotten just a bit too close when they had been cooking together. His anxiety was shot to all hell, and he felt like an absolute failure...
... but not as big a failure as that guy. Wow.
While he was over in Harpommy's loving feathers, trying to sooth his nerves, he saw the next kid come up to try and make a Mooncake. But the poor guy, it seemed like every single thing that could have gone wrong went horribly, terribly wrong. It was mushy and undercooked, and absolutely ugly. That was enough to make Mahmud feel sorry for him but... damn. It was supposed to be for his lusus?
He looked up at the great creature in wonder... it would take a whole lot of mooncakes to feed that guy, and he didn't even take the mushy one his own kid made him. Hell, he didn't even take the ones that greenblood bought for him.
Harpommy cooed and snuggled with Mahmud, but was shocked when her son wiggled out of her wings and went up to grab his backpack. After some time of shuffling through a metric heck-ton of hay, the young boy finally managed to pull out a big package: his perfect mooncakes, from the night before. Gingerly, he pulled one out of the package, trying so hard not to squish the designs too much while running it over to Fermer and her Duckdad, calling up to her.
"Hey. Hey." He still refused to touch her, but when he finally had the woman's attention he dropped the cake gently into her hands and whispered something that made her smile a big, toothy grin.
"Honey! Hey, little guy!" Fermer took a turn walking the perfect cake over to Sephos, holding it out for him to take. "That boy over there said to give it to your lusus!
Mahmud was already back to Harpommy's side, peering over his Ommy's wing to stare at Sephos. That sure didn't take long.
draconicfeline I hope this was alright dear! biggrin <33 Sorry if its too long, let me know if its too much and alksdgjalsdjga

Sephos grumbled as he left the mooncakes stand. He'd try again later, and he'd make Maku those mooncakes... he'd make Maku the best damn mooncakes there were to make, and he'd find out why the damn treebeast wanted them so badly. “Honey! Hey, little guy! That boy over there said to give it to your lusus!” Huh? Sephos stared at her blankly, then looked down at the mooncake. He took it wordlessly, his gaze drifting to the young troll she gestured to. ”... okay...” he said, walking over to where the boy hid behind the wings of a... bird like lusus thing. He held out the mooncake to Mahmud. Ignore the fact that it was probably better than anything Sephos could have made himself. Ignore the fact that it would be a perfect present. ”Here.” he said gruffly, offering it back.

Why was he returning the cake?
For a moment Mahmud glanced down at the treat, then back up to sephos, then back down at the cake before muttering to the other troll "It's not poison or nothin', she watched me make it..." .
Then he blurted to him "Look, your lusus is freaking huge, alright?! It's gonna take like, a bajillion more moon cakes to feed it. Um..." Again, he looked up from his moms wing, and then poked his head around to stare up at Maku" "Her? Him? Them? Xir? Uh..." Any edge to his voice from before trailed off into bewilderment the more Mahmud stared up at Sephos' parent. "So just... Take... The stupid thing. Alright?"
draconicfeline Meanwhile, Harpommy considers trying Maku as a perch. Harpommy no stop Ommy.

Skyli Peep Maku would be delighted to be used as a perch. He thinks its cute Sephos stared at the orangeblood kid as he explained that the cake wasn't poison (Sephos hadn't thought it was) and that he wanted to feed Sephos's big lusus. ”... He eats daywalkers.” Sephos grumbled, holding out the cake again, ”So I don't need it. Take back your special cake.” It felt weird being given a cake for his lusus, and Sephos wanted that weirdness to go away. Just take it back already! he thought, a little frazzled. Maku had several centuries under his bark, but he'd never seen a harpy before. ”Hoom?” he reached out a tentative, massive, branch hand towards her, offering. He wanted a closer look at this amalgam of troll and bird...

b] "... You touched it though, so you keep it." Clearly, two could play at this game. Just as Sephos felt strange for being given a cake, Mahmud felt weird about said cake being refused... until he brought up Daywalkers. "... Wait, daywalkers? You serious?" A lusus that ate daywalkers, while useful, would certainly find no satisfaction in a single cake.
Yeah no, at this rate it may be better to retreat from this guy.
Just as he was turning to his mother to go, however, he found her happily hopping onto Maku's branch hand. "Coo!" Apparently, she had no issues with a GIANT TREE THING THAT ATE PEOPLE.
"OMMY!" There was no hiding how panicked Mahmud sounded, as he scurried over to the two lusii. "Ommy! Get down from him!"
"Coo! Coooooo cooo!" Jeez, who was the parent, him or her? Harpommy refused to come down from Maku, instead taking time to nuzzle at the branch she perched on. "Cooo!

Skyli Peep A MONTH A FREAKING MONTH AAA IM SO SORRY He touched it? What did that have to do with anything? ”You made it. It's yours.” He brandished it at Mahmud, wondering why it was so damn difficult to give back a stupid present. Such a nice lusus! Maku tried to coo back – it was only polite – but managed only to make a sound resembling a Hoooooo. It was close enough. Dad... Vater... Sephos sighed internally, his face twisting into something less grumpily neutral and more outright annoyed. His Lusus did this all the time, and it was no use complaining to the treebeast about it. Sephos himself had no problem with Maku hanging out with other people's lusii – he didn't care. But this meant that his efforts to make this troll with his gift go away would be in vain for some time yet. ”Don't bother.” he mumbled sourly, looking up at the trollbird and the treebeast, ”She looks real comfy up there.” and Maku looked real comfy with her. Yep. They were going to be a while. Sephos was not happy... Sephos also failed to notice that the way he was holding the mooncake was quite percarious, and, slowly but surely, gravity was pulling the rest of it down... and the perfect crust would only hold for so long...

Before he could snip back at the boy, a loud coo came from Maku's branch. Once he turned to look up at the treeture his mom decided to befriend? Mahmud knew that arguing any point was fruitless. A parent's glare was unavoidable when given, and the one the lusus was giving could wilt a rock, never mind plants or stubborn children.
So what choice did he have?
"Ommy..." With a strangled sigh, the boy plopped on the ground next to Sephos, crossing his arms and glaring right back at his parent. Harpommy seemed not to care; she was too busy being caught up in a cooing conversation with Maku. While Mahmud couldn't tell from here what exactly she was talking about, he had reached the same conclusion as Sephos: They were going to be there a while.
"So uh... yeah." He gave an awkward throat clear, only now choosing to look at the other boy. "Does this happen ofte-- hey! Hey hey!" The mooncake! The precious mooncake he made with the nice Fermer lady, the gift he was going to give was going to...
Mahmud darted his hands underneath the other boy's just in time to feel filling his his palms with a plop. For quite some time he sat in silence, leaned over, with mooncake squishing. "... often" Instead of sounding grumpy, the little boy's voice wavered a bit, as he slowly stared down at the mess in disbelief. "The... the cake... my cake..." Near the end his voice started to waver, and his eyes started to grow misty. Oh boy.

"What...?" Sephos looked down at the mooncake as soft, moist filling spilled morosely out through his fingers. "Oh." Uh. He glared at the broken cake in confusion. How was he supposed to deal with this? He set the broken crust in the boy's hand, perhaps a little quickly and stared at the full magnitude of the mess for a little bit. "... Didn't think it would do that." he observed, wiping his hands on his overalls and looking around briskly. Their lusii were still there, still chatting, so he couldn't just walk away (the best option he could think of, and one that didn't require him to figure out anything). And he was pretty sure that, now, the boy was going to talk at him. Which meant he had to respond, or something. And what did he respond with? Sephos had no idea, so he winged it. "What was that filling, anyway?"

"I unno..." Or rather, he did know at one point and was too distracted by it crumbling up into nothing to be bothered with an answer. "I-I guess... it was too moist?" So it hadn't been a perfect mooncake after all. Had the woman only been nice to him when she said it was? Or were Mooncakes supposed to crumble that way?
Okay, now he couldn't help but tear up a bit, sniffling and wiping at his eyes with the back of his wrist. "M'sorry... Uh..."
How did he salvage the situation at this point? From crying and being a big ol' grub?
He did the only thing he could think of doing at that moment and shoved his hand out to the other boy. "Mahmud. I guess.... Sorry I got mooncake all over your hands and stuff..." It was only polite. He couldn't scream at this kid for wrecking his mooncake without knowing what his name was, right? Much as he was loathe to get close to another person, let alone touch them, in this situation it felt somewhat... necessary? The worst thing this guy did was hurt his mooncake, and not him.
Somewhere up on Maku a satisfied coo could be heard, as Harpommy turned to the creature and bobbed her head enthusiastically.
draconicfeline We can wrap this up soon if you wanted to! O v O I still have a hard time judging when to wrap RPs up, haha... I'm not used to them... ending.
