Taking a long draft of his drink, Markus considered their conversation as it lulled. While he didn't quite understand the other man's disconnect between preparation and action, he respected the focus on the latter. All too often, people prepped and prepped and prepped and never once actually took the steps needed to get anything actionable done. Had Markus fallen into that trap? It was hard to know, though he absolutely could be doing more.
He grinned at Max's comment, seeming to think it was risky for Markus to offer as he did. Markus only gave a slight grin in response; he hadn't been sure how much longer he was going to stay and was prepared to leave after his next drink if it seemed there was contention between the two, but it seemed to be quickly disappearing. As Max asked his following question, Markus would contemplate. He had plenty of questions but didn't know which ones would be considered rude.
He did, however, remember a comment Max made early in the conversation that came to the surface. “Spirits, when I mentioned the one at the nightclub, you said something about having dealt with a similar event?”
