Max could not sleep in peace on his first night back home, as despite Asiva's best efforts to distract him, Max remained completely preoccupied with his thoughts.
For the entire night, Max did not utter a single word and kept staring into the distance.
His demeanour turned colder and colder as more time passed with him eventually beginning to emit a thin killing intent that frightened Asiva even though it wasn't directed at her.
Whatever Max thought of in the duration of the night was a silent resolve that seemed like an unshakeable promise.
It was only in the morning after, that Max began interacting with people again as the first thing he did was to visit Zippo in the infirmary.
The black dragon had taken a hit for him and Max appreciated his loyalty and competency.
Without him, Asiva could have been seriously injured and the baby could have died.
