Max blinks in surprise at the hug and then the kiss.  With a clatter as the throwing axe falls to the floor, his massive arms circle Arianna, lips returning the kiss.  Finally breaking the kiss.  Looking a little flustered, he gives a soft shake of his head.  "I was in the right place to end this.  The others made as much a contribution as I did.  You did as much as I did, if not more."  He gazes down on her, then realizes they are in the middle of a labrynth, with their comrades all around.  Although, truth be told, not really wanting to let her go.
