Connor hopes that Margalita likes the present he made her. It's cookies! Just standard sugar cookies, except he mixed pop-rocks into the topping. He looks mildly disappointed when they jsut fizzle pleasantly with each bite... "Aww, I was hoping they'd explode, a little."

"Well you're furking terrible at explosions" She starts to blurt then adds "But.. you win at sweetness"

Tail wag!

And, curiously, "What would YOU put in cookies to make 'em go boom? "

"Well, considering you don't want damage? I'd do something like the fart tarts... tiny pockets that boom when the heat or the like is one thing, but also you can do stuff like pop rocks in the material... you ever have those?"

He ponders, and comes back with. "Do..." He has trouble saying it, he is giggling too hard. "Do farts count as explosions??"

"Not exactlly but it can be smiliar, see it's an expulsion and.." She eyes a brow "What you want me to make you a fart gun or something?"

"Jack has his OWN fart gun." Connor chortles.

"Beans are a magical fruit" Jack says then grins "Only Snow didn't think they were fruit"

Margilita says "Thanks Connor, thanks Jack."

"Sorry you're old now." Connor says in a congratulatory tone.

She sigghs 'YEP.. not looking forward to the first moment of idiocy because of some boy"

Jack says "It's okay, maybe they''ll think you're ugly and want nothing to do with you?"

The nocker hisses through sharp teeth "THANKS so much"

"Anyone who thinks Margalita is ugly is stupid and deserves blowing up." He gives the nocker a quick look and then adds, "But please don't blow up Jack, he's my friend. And he just puts hooves in his mouth sometimes, which is bad because he'll get hoof-n-mouth disease and then we'll have to give him medicine."

Margilita eyes Connor "For your sake Connor, I won't make him go boom" She scuffs his head "Hey, I gotta say tahnks to others. So you excuse me okay? Go eat some ice cream"

"If you insist! It's your day so I will grant you that boon." And he hurries off to eat ice cream as demanded.

Jack fusses at Connor once they got ice cream "I didn't say she was stupid"

"Nope!" He agrees cheerfully, and adds, "Just ugly!" And waits for Jack to get it.

He stamps his foot " i said some boy MIGHT call her ugly and want nothing to do with ehr. I didn't say she WAS" Hurumph. Satyrs are prickly

"It was too close!" Connor nods sagely.

Jack glares, gets his bowl of ice cream, and ttrots away from Connor

Connor pouts for a moment, but then eats his ice cream. Jack will come back, he always does.

A whisper "He'll come back. he always does" Lily says

"Lily!" He squeaks. "You startled me."

"oh connor, you really do say the nicest things" She approves cheering up some

she whispers to him "Mother and father have had a hard time. They are arguing over where to live for good. Sometimes they forget I hear." She says "I hope I live close to here"

"You SHOULD live here. Your dad is a troll right? Trolls belong in Rivervale. And so do you." He has a sad look for a moment, but then wags his tail. "Want some ice cream? I can mix it with the old milk and it will be a milkshake."

"yes, please" She says soft

He obliges and brings it, "Some of the chunks are from the milk... and some are marshmallow fluff. I hope it's not too sweet? It SMELLS sour to me." With a straw! A straw that will likely never be the same and may need to be buried on consecrated land.

"with your nose, you would know, you have a most..." She searches for the word "Adept sniffer"

He nods. "But... people are confused a lot. They think a lot of things smell bad. They don't, not really. THey're just interesting. Except when there's too much of it, like Mr. Skunk."

"You should be careful around the jester of Earth Runes. he IS funnny, if loud."

"He's not a skunk! He's a pooka." A grin. "Not like me, I'm a real live boy. Dog. Dogboy. Boydog!"
