With the others focused on the nonsense that was going around him, he was not only debating with himself on the right action to take but also to keep a pointed ear out for the approach of anyone or anything. He didn’t like how two random mutants had come out of The Fall nor did he feel comfortable around the cryptic seer that had addressed him by his birth name. Maybe the “ghost stories” people told him about the damned forest all his life had some merit. But he had more things to worry about than some spooky bat lady who needed to shut her fucking mouth and get as far away from him as possible. The Red Star sky pirates were not fools, and if his experience in dealing with them told him anything it was the fact that they didn’t pick on random transports without any information on what they were packing. His travel route was premeditated and that means whatever package he was carrying was worth going the full mile for. And Max was pretty sure that this group he found himself part of didn’t have the experience or mettle to go the full mile with them. Taffy understood how quick they needed to get their shit together, but was that enough? If Max cut himself from the group he wouldn’t endanger them and he could deal with the pirate all on his lonesome; it was faster do travel solo and while all the dangers of The Fall were freaking him out he had a feeling he could get far enough away from everyone else without risking their lives. They could head out to Taffy’s uncle’s place and be safe. As long as he was with them they were in danger. His brows narrowed as he looked at Taffy engage with the others before turning towards the opposite direction and moving without mention. As he did so he drew his revolver, taking deep breaths as he moved away from the group and possibly towards the pirates who were hunting him.
