Cassandra. Hmm. He didn't have a nickname for her yet, that'll have to do. 

Max left the auditorium on the tail end of Sariel's little guided tour, taking his sweet time following. Not that it seemed to matter, with the way she was moving he almost believed she had no idea where she was going. Almost. This was clearly planned. He lingered outside the lunchroom for a bit before entering, waiting for the lines near the food to die down a bit before tackling them himself but unwilling to enter the room and risk subjecting himself to impromptu socialization with the mages from earlier - not to mention vampires. 

When he finally did enter, he loaded up a plate before turning to look around for his partner. While he may not want to talk to anyone here, eating alone like a loser was out of the question. The only dilemma was whether the vampire was even here - not like he needed to eat, and he was too new to being a vampire to be expected to consistently follow proper decorum. 

Fortunately, Morrigan was present. Unfortunately, so were others. Why was Retriever there? It was like the universe saw fit to mock him today. He treaded over to the group's claimed table, shoulders sunk and demeanor particularly sour. He dropped his tray in front of an empty seat wordlessly, without so much as an acknowledging gaze toward the others while they were finishing up their introductions. He tapped at his phone briefly, then rudely shoved it past Aaron in Morrigan's direction, New Contact entry open and waiting on the screen.

[color=8585AD]"Hey, I forgot to get this from you earlier,"[/color] he muttered out gruffly at the soonest lull in conversation, [color=8585AD]"In case you need to get ahold of me for... whatever."[/color]

He still hadn't spared a glance at anyone else, and if he had his way, he'd get to pretend they weren't even there for the entirety of lunch.
