When Maximus woke up the next morning on the living room couch he got confused about why he slept here. Then slowly, last night's events told him the truth. He waited for Theodore to confront him about where he went? and why? He ended up sleeping here and let Theodore go, instead of catching him red-handed.
He scurried his way to Theodore's room. He didn't waste his time knocking on the door as he was too worried to know whether he'd come back? He knew Theodore isn't that foolish to die in the hands of a beast, he's a great hunter but still, what if hasn't seen that coming. His brotherly affection, made him think of many worst things when he hadn't returned last night.
Relief spread across his heart when he saw Theodore sound asleep on his bed. One thing is sure, Theodore is hiding something.
