[He's so very used to this — somehow, some way, someone is welcoming him to their group. Asking him to follow, or to join them. An extension, an offer to not be alone. And time and time and time again he resists and runs. Because if he's around, something terrible is bound to happen. Potentially because of him. And, in some sad way, he's predestined himself to dying alone somewhere, like a dog, because that's what needs to happen. And that's really his own fault; he knows that.

So again, the offer's extended, and he looks at her sincerely, with a heavy hesitance and a softer smoothing of his usually perturbed brow.]

When I left, mmm... Wasn't going to come back.

[He thinks she knows that. When they saw each other that last time.

He was proud of her, but he couldn't join them. He didn't have that right.

It wasn't his place.

But now, forced to see these faces everyday and live among them with no escape...]

I don't know.

[kill_switch]

I know. I hadn't expected to see you again.

[That last look they'd had back in their own world had been what she expected was their goodbye. She had her world to take care of, and he had his; he was the enduring spirit of survival out in the Wastelands.]

[But then they find themselves here, forced to deal with people and with themselves; it's unexpected and complicated. Even then Furiosa is aware of her advantage having to deal with people in the past; Max, obviously, hasn't had that - or if he had it's so far removed it's not a part of him anymore. She can only guess, and she gives him the benefit of not.]

We'll just have to take it as it comes.

[He falls quiet, thoughtful, as he eats.

Then, softly — ]

Maybe. Could visit, someday.

... Like... t'see what you do with it.

[kill_switch]

I'd like that.

[Equally soft, thoughtful. She finishes up her meal and settles back in her seat.]

Here's hoping there's something to get back to. [She didn't doubt the Wives now, not after everything they've been through, but they were her family now; there was a desire to protect. She couldn't do that from here.]

[theroadwarrior]

[He smiles just the slightest.]

Mm. Here's hoping.

[He doesn't do much of that.

But he supposes he could entertain it, just for the moment.]
