[ The thing is, everything about this was supposed to be painless. What's the point of making it become something that is? Jason doesn't want that and he can't imagine Max does either.
He knows it's gotten deeper than that- but they don't have to drown in it. ]
Yeah, you're right. A lot of shit goes wrong when people don't talk- until it's too fucking late and then... you know. I'm just glad we can do it.
[He doesn't want to bring other things into it. He won't.]
I'll come meet you in the mornings and we can see some of those sights together. That cool?
[If Max could see into those thoughts, he'd more than certainly agree to them-- but he's his own little alien mind and it's a strange place in there and so he's going to do his best to ride things out as they come. It's still a new thing for Max, a new type of relationship and world.
This isn't New Mexico, and Jason is a very different type of person than most his friends back home. He likes that, a lot. Well, maybe there's a tad of Michael in there, but he's not sure. There's something in the eyes, a flash, but Max doesn't know. ]
I've not always been good at telling people things. I like to try and do all the big stuff by myself, so this is really good. I'm glad that we talk, really glad. You're right, a lot goes bad when you don't talk. I almost died before i told anyone I was dying.
[he laughs a little at how stupid shit was back then, and then smiles with some relief. ]
You're going to be tired as hell, but I'd love to see the sights with you. There's no one I'd rather walk around the town with. Get some pizza, some dogs, and listen to tour guides drone on.
