[ oh look it's the dog. howard shoots him a quizzical look, but he's focusing on the man's words. ] Are you in engineering, son?

[theroadwarrior]

[... Great, it's you. :|

But — ! It's also Peggy's... friend(?). So Max will... try to play nice. Keyword: try. This replies are still short, but it's better than nothin'.]

Mn, no. Not like that. Mechanic's better word for it.

[speedboat]

A mechanic. You like cars? [ he can speak that language. he too is trying to be nice-nice even if it might usually be in his nature to dismiss someone like max. ] I made a hover-car, you know. They told me I couldn't do it.

[theroadwarrior]

[He motherfuckin' loves cars man, but he's not about to wax poetic.

He quirks a brow at him instead.]

Hover car.

[Said oh-so-skeptically.]

It works?

[speedboat]

Of course it works. [ tho he understands the skepticism tbh. which is the only reason he doesn't go on... ] I see your dog is... well.

[theroadwarrior]

[He gives a slight nod, looking to the just about pouting dog.]

Better than dead.

Usually the goal.

[speedboat]

Depends who you ask, probably. [ he bristles, but only slightly. it's not worth getting offended around here he's noticed. ] That was... real humanitarian of you. To save him.

[ even if he was the one to injure him in the first place-- details. ]

[theroadwarrior]

[Mm... Max gives the smallest shake of his head.]

Not much of one. I only helped him because I did the damage.

[Which is potentially the truth. Max is careful to divvy up his priorities proper.

And a gravely injured dog wouldn't have been the highest.]

[speedboat]

Still. Not everyone would have. [ he's sticking to his guns on this one, uncertain if he would have bothered with the poor creature. but he crouches down on the dog's level, studying it. it is funny how dogs never seem to be in a bad mood. ]

[theroadwarrior]

[Dogs are weird, man. Weird therapeutic creatures like that.

That makes Max quiet, though, because he knows is true.]

... Hmph. Better to not turn into a complete monster.

Then you need to be put down, probably.

[aka i'm a totally nice person once you get to know me but he'LL NEVER ADMIT SUCH THINGS]
