I know. She showed me.

[But as Max isn't privy to the hand-holding she did, she adds after a moment:] She thought you would hurt the other bystanders if she let you go.

[theroadwarrior]

[Max huffs, and that's about how the tone of the conversation is into eternity, am I right.

He leans back against the tree trunk.]

Could have not worried at all if she let me leave in the first place.

I wasn't the one using force.

Were you being aggressive towards the crowds?

[She doesn't sound accusatory tbh. A picture is forming here and she can see pretty much how things went down, but Misty wouldn't antagonise him without reason, even if it was ill-advised antagonism. So, genuine curiosity. Help a gal out.]

[theroadwarrior]

I pushed away someone who tried to grab me.

[It's not the best situation, but they shouldn't have touched him.

He doesn't give a damn if it's their way of life; it doesn't mesh with his own.]

... I didn't hurt anyone.

Before Misty. [A gentle correction.]

But I understand. Thank you for being honest. Do you hold a grudge?

[theroadwarrior]

[He looks entirely annoyed by her correction, but he lets it go well enough. He did hurt her, after all, but he's not about to be put a spotlight on because he did it. She was threatening him first. He's hurt people for less, even if it was purely on rabid instinct.]

You should ask her that, not me.

[She's seems like an emotional person, if her concern for a stranger is any guess.]

I keep to myself.

[What a childish response. But hey, it's in keeping with 90% of other men she knows, so Makie's response is to...not really give a response at all. Surprise. She just watches him another long moment.

It's all she needed to know. She can save her breath on anything else. But eventualy, courtesy will move her to ask.]

Are you all right?

[theroadwarrior]

[He assumes she just means physically — that's really what counts, for most people.]

... Just a concussion. S'nothing bad.

[He's had a ton of those, anyway. But he shrugs abortively.]

I'll stay away from the villages for the rest of the time. Keep everyone comfortable.

[therewerefifty]

[Not a surprising answer. She inclines her head at the statement. If he's camping and cooking and talking lucidly days after the fact, the concussion is healing without incident. And really, she needed to make sure there wouldn't be a repeat performance. That's all.

Max is a man who prefers his time alone. She can respect that in spades.]

Thank you for the explanation.

[She'll leave you be, Max. But she won't forget this happened.]
