The large boy crossed his arms and maintained his cheerful grin. "Nice to meet you too." He replied to her curt and formal response. No one acted like this where he was from. He wasn't use to it and it made him feel odd, out of place. As she spoke about the possibility of a bruise caused by her weapon Max smiles again. "Don't worry. Bruises are nothing new. I'll be alright." The towering boy could barely feel where he had just been hit. Which ,from the way she was talking, could be good or bad. Hopefully the former, not the latter.<br/>When the small girl started looking around he did as well noticing that the majority of the crowd was gone, likely inside. "Ah crap.." Max said to himself as a whisper. His mother would skin him if he were late before school even began.<br/>"Yeah good idea. Being late day one certainly wouldn't make us look very good." The boy walk at half his stride to catch up and keep pace with Olive. Their first meeting had been strange but she didn't seem so bad. A bit clumsy maybe but not bad. Max decided to stick close to her. As bad as it was she was the only one of whom he actually knew their name. Making her his only aqaintence. Not going as far as calling her friend yet. Through sheer force of will he kept himself from asking her questions about she and that weapon she called the Eerie Blade. In his head he mulled over what information she had already given him instead.
