As soon as T’bia started eating M’dox took a bite of his own pastry, humming in appreciation. It was similar to the ones he remembered from childhood, but flakier. He thought it might also be sweeter, but it was hard to tell. M’dox tried to savor the treat, but it was still gone far quicker than he had planned. He sighed contentedly, licking the remaining sugar dust off his fingers, determined to get as much out of the pastry as he possibly could.
“Uhm,” M’dox started, considering the options. “It would make sense to do gifts next, so we actually have money for them.” He laughed a bit in self deprecation. “I know if we did clothing next I’d spend all my marks there, and I really should pick up a few things for people.” His family, namely, to have on hand for whenever he got around to seeing them. M’dox was unsure when that might be; the idea of seeing them was both really exciting and made him happy, but also scared him a lot. Would they be happy to see him? How had they changed? He carefully folded the wrapper of his pastry, focusing back on the present and not his family. “That work?” He asked, firmly creasing the last fold.
You can fast forward through gift shopping a bit if you want, might get tedious otherwise. Up to you. (Clothes shopping could be fun though ;p)
