Her name's Angharad. She's... one of the girls, from — the Fury Road. Furiosa and I were taking them somewhere better. [Despite the fact that she's good, he looks... uncomfortable. Worried. Anxious. Since her arrival, he's kind of had to re-face opinions of himself, from his own mind. Ghosts are noisy, as of late.] Wanted to tell you. So you could...
[He licks his lip, shifting on his feet. Asking people for things is still hard.]
Keep an eye out for her, too.
Make sure she's... okay.
... Safe.
action
but whoever she is, she's one of the souls max had worked so hard to save -- according to furiosa. peggy is prepared to accept his request outright, but she takes her time. she wants him to see her thinking about the task, rather than taking it on as instinct. ]
Yes. I'll do that. If she doesn't mind a friend. Do you know which ship she's been shuffled onto?
action
The Pathstone.
[He wonders, only briefly, if he should tell Peggy more. But that's all Angharad's business; it's not his to divulge. So all he can do is show in his own way that she matters a great deal to him. More than he'd like. It's hard to explain it, but Max feels responsible. Feels like he once again failed to protect a mother and her child. It repeats, god it does, and he wonders briefly if it's some higher power punishing him for his weakness.
He glances away. Despite coming to her and finally talking, he still seems... anxious. Like the walls are going to consume him, drag him in.]
She's... good. You'll like her.
Got a good head on her shoulders. Smart girl.
action
having taken certain measure of max's maze-like character, it's enough to know he feels compelled to ask for her help in this task. it's enough to know he would, indeed, trust her with something that may very well be precious to him. she taps her fingers along her elbow. ]
I'll find a reason to visit. Shouldn't be so difficult.
action
Don't even know if she... Hmmm... Likes me all that much.
[The anxious look is a bit more humorous, as he tries to find a nice way to put it.]
Was kind of... myself... around her back home.
...
Lot of dirty looks then.
action
[ she knows that's not what max had been trying to explore with that statement. but it's so silly -- she can't help but underline how very much she doesn't care about what others think. max's value must come from max himself, and not what others read him to be.
half the problem, really. ]
action
Peggy, pls.]
Must be such a difficult feat.

M'calling custody of the dog, then.
action
[ she is so losing the dog isn't she. ]
action
[........ Even Max knows.
Dog's too taught.]

Good. You're part wastelander. Hope for you yet.

But... That saying, hm. "S'the thought that counts."
