[ Max is a good actor. He's the kind of ham who'll throw himself completely into any role, but this isn't a side character. Still, the catalyst is embarrassing enough to stop Ash from looking too deeply into the question.
Ah. Damn it. The car still has to stop.
Ash is a very good liar. Some may even call him a professional. Still, he tends to show softer, more vulnerable sides when he's in safer spaces.
Max won't believe his answer. If anything, he'll assume Ash saw the opportunity and ran with it. It's something he may do in certain situations so it's not an analysis that brings resentment. ]
Everybody gets in the mood sometimes.
[ The words are defensive, as if Max is accusing him of something.
With a groan, his head falls into the arm he'd been using to prop up his chin. If Max misses the next words, he can't be blamed. ]
