As she moved to join him in walking, Max adopted a bit more of a natural gait, matching her pace even as he walked a little ahead. He nibbled at his kebab, but didn't repeat his big bite. He still had to carry on a conversation. Mina didn't disappoint, prompting him for his plans.
“Yep!” He confirmed, turning a smile to her as he licked some sauce off his lips. It was bright, but not over the top. He was trying to make an effort to not alienate Goki's girlfriend, figuring he'd be running into her more if the pair had upgraded to hanging out at their apartment. “Just got off work, bit of a relief to have a couple of days off now.”
The stairs descended a fair bit under the city streets, interrupted now and again by a landing, the natural light of outside changing for the fluorescents of the overhead lights. The smells changed too. Hot and stale air, creating a bit of a wind tunnel in the stairs leading down as it all rushed outside, calming only as they neared the bottom. The ozone of electricity from the tracks and the mingling scents of BO and perfume.
