Imagine little MK running up lbd to hug her leg only for her to kick him off her
THIS IS CRUEL 😣😣 NOT LIL MKKK
Its so sad because I CAN SEE IT HAPPENING, yet my LBD wouldn’t exactly kick MK. Because she doesn’t care enough to. That kind of emotional reaction is beneath her. Acting on it is a waste of energy.
If little MK ran up to her the way he runs to Macaque, she wouldn’t react with anger, even disgust is too strong a word. To LBD its insignificant. Mk’s feelings are insignificant.
A cold glare, annoyance is the most Mk would get. She would never indulge his loving nature. his actions are pitiful, human even. She understands them, but she does not care for them.
You know how her magic can form chains? I feel like she wouldn’t even waste physical action on pushing MK off. Maybe a flick of magic that pulls him off, or like a string, not a full chain? Not a hard tug, just sudden and firm, like batting away a fly.
Or the Mayor wordlessly lifting MK by the scruff like a misbehaving pet?
Mk doesn’t understand because he’s used to Macaque’s hugs, how Macaque no matter how frustrated or tired he is always lets Mk curl beside him, or wiggle into an embrace. Because we all know when Mk first feels the warmth and rush of happiness a hug brings, he would want to share it. So being greeted with LBD’s icy reaction, it hurt, it was scary.
Macaque is at his side in a heartbeat, probably having been running after a loose MK. But freezes for a moment under LBD’s gaze before she turns back to her work, because ONCE AGAIN, its insignificant to her, she has far more important things to look at. (This one is just a colored sketch)
Then he scoops MK up and whisks him from the room, tail between his legs.
I imagine Macaque scolding Xiao softly, not out of anger, but that fear that manifests into frustration. But it instantly melts away When Mk looks up with bewildered, tear streaked face.
So Macaque holds his kid close all the way down the hall, whispering reassurances, his own hands trembling.
He’s not mad at MK.
He’s just terrified of losing him 🙂↕️
Its probably this moment where MK understands (as much as his young mind can) that while LBD may show him attention and ‘warmth’ in his training and regarding his destiny, she doesn’t care for him in any other way.
