i Actively want to make maddie's relationship with his mom worse because characters who never get mad Getting Mad are my favorite so like now i'm obligated to give him a reason to

oh my god I forgot you mentioned this before and I- listen, this would be a combination of ant getting angry on maddie’s behalf and also him getting angry about something that is completely out of his control. it’s almost worst to a degree, because there’s a level of... helplessness to it. what can he, a mere... friend, we’ll say fdhsjfk, do to help even? she’s not his mother. hell, it’s not even really his place to get upset about it, but he loves maddie too much to sit back and be fine with it. not after seeing him so shaken after imogen’s sudden visit. not after finding out that his mother, who left on her own volition, doesn’t like the man her son’s become. AND she has a new family ?? oh boy, the audacity. miss janet, you’ve got a big storm comin.

Max had been to some truly amazing festivals in his travels, so it was difficult for these small town things to compare, but something about them still struck a little cord within him. Perhaps they reminded him of his high school, of simpler times at home with his mother. There was simply something quaint about a gathering of people peddling handmade things, street food, and throngs of people going about their own business.

But Max’s favorite part always ended up being the fortune tellers. Most of the time they were fakes, people capitalizing on the curiosity and gullibility of innocent fair-goers. But rarely, he would find the real deal. As he pushed open the door to the small booth labeled for tarot readings, Max wondered which he might find within.

Green eyes fell on the man behind the table, and he knew the game was on. That aura, faint though it may be, spoke of a true talent. Max’s expression turned from detached disinterest to mischievous curiosity. Between his status as a demi-god, and his own connection to Delphi, Max was a complicated creature to read. And he relished in that fact, using it to torment lesser Seers with confusion, headaches and, on his worst days, panic.

“Do you have time for a complicated reading?” He asked. “I will, of course, pay you for your trouble. But I should warn you that it will likely be more than you bargain for.”

‘ No, I don’t think so.’ He replied, not bothering to hide his disinterest. He tried being polite, considering this guy frequented his bookstore. But-- Indigo wasn’t really the polite type. ‘ I’ve never seen you outside of the store in my life. You must be mistaken.’

    Figures, that a little bit of eye contact would be a invitation to come over and try to start unwarranted conversation; maybe even try to spit some game. When he felt her arm link around his and gives that cutesy, little smiles of hers, he knew what time it was. Play boyfriend time, which he won’t complain about. He’ll get some boba tea out of this, so he’s all for the ride.

    Returning a smile right back as he softly touched her hand, “Don’t worry, I gotcha--I’ll count you on that boba deal.”

Don’t mind her as she slides on over to the male in question, lips tugging into a pleasant grin. “Excuse me, I was wondering if you could help me? Oh, unless you’re busy, then it’s totally fine!”
