"Before I attempt to answer... that question ... May I ask one of my own?" She went ahead, of course, "Why ARE you asking that question?" Why was her heart and mind being called into question? Was it the stupid Joao thing? Meh.

Max thought about approaching the owl that found particular interest in his presence, but if its intentions were malicious, he would rather it not come after him in front of Aspen. When she spoke again, Max turned back to her and cleared his throat in discomfort.

"I'm sorry," he said quickly, his hands out in front of him. "I didn't mean to... pry or... invade your privacy. I just-... you looked kind of... pensive? But maybe not in a good way, I wondered? And I just figured... y'know... well, I care about people a lot... and I wanted to make sure you were okay. Or, err, if you needed someone, or a friend, I wanted to make sure... you had one?"

He rubbed at his eyebrow, his face contorting with anxiety. "Sorry," he said again.

Max wasn't good at talking.
