Markus sat back in the chair he had found, waiting at the Honey and Ivy. The stylish noodle bar was just as he remembered, even though he had been a bit too drunk the last time he had visited. Markus didn't pay much attention to the people around him as he waited.
Earlier, the redhead had reached out to Max, asking to meet. It was a request Markus had been putting off for far too long. He had first met Max at the train station, and they had seen each other in passing a couple of times since then. Markus had wanted to talk to him when he discovered Max had been invited to the Byte Bash. However, the shock of the event and the encounter with the Wraith afterward had taken priority.
In a mental spiral, Markus had given into wanderlust. He traveled for a while before returning to the city, more determined than ever to uncover the truth. Recently, he had seen Max in passing at the Sewing Circle. Although they had never directly stopped to talk to each other, Markus realized he needed to reach out. He had too many questions to keep putting it off.
Besides, he owed Max a thank you; the redhead was still pretty sure that he would have been lost in the train station if he had been alone.
