Markus heard the footsteps as someone approached and turned his head to see Max. The redhead gave him a gentle smile and raised his hand. “Thanks for agreeing to meet Max,” Markus didn't know the other man's last name and felt a little strange being formal with what they survived together. “Feel free to call me Markus.” He added with a smile as Max ordered a drink. It was interesting to the redhead that Max knew the bartender by nickname and in such a casual way. He wondered if that meant that this was a common dive for Max.
Taking a small drink, Markus awkwardly cleared his throat before speaking up. “First, I wanted to thank you properly. I should have reached out sooner. But I really appreciate what you and Goki did in the subway,” Markus said softly. Though that wasn't his primary reason for asking to speak with Max, he wanted to address that first.
