[It's an unexpected moved, and there's some padding that feels like awfully real flab there, but beneath is still despite his best disguises, the reliable, broad, hard body he's come to rely on. A hand smooths the back of his hair. Ash not being one who cares terribly about conventional attractiveness allows him the luxury of being able to be so practical as to come pre-dressed for their mission like this.
It's quite selfish. But if Ash is going to think about Max the entire time they're together, it may as well be thoughts of how he actually is, rather than wondering, rather than guilt at not having been able to see him first.
Of course, if Mr. Glenreed has been self destructive, it will be worse, and Blanca has very little faith in the man they're seeing not to dramatically self destruct, but relationships can't be all fairy tale dates and feet sweeping romance, can they?]
