[ It's that what it's going to come back to? A constant reference to their new relationship. This is definitely a step down from their original post-prison relationship. They were able to talk and do things for each other just fine without kissing and having sex.
But Ash does notice the wording. It wasn't that Max wouldn't eat bad food if he wasn't dating somebody, it's that he wouldn't if he didn't love them enough. Ash won't eat bad food at all so that's not judgment so much as the first time Max has said that feeling is already fading. That's good. A human part of Ash hurts at that, but it's no good if either of them stays in love.

Either way, Ash is good at the things he does. ]
