It was rare for him to experience this when in the presence of Ash since she was usually quite calm and reserved.
It was usually quite difficult to tell how she was feeling and what her mood was like unless someone paid special attention to her body language and knew her speaking habits and tone of voice used at times.
There was a smaller distance between them than there was before in that moment.
After lessening the awkwardness between them, Max became a little more serious as he began to ask her. "So did they say anything that would help identify who they were or who they were following the orders of?"
He did not recognise any of their voices and could not find anything familiar about them.
They did not seem to be someone that he had interacted with but it was still possible that they had run into each other in the past.
He could not remember everyone he came across and they had done well to conceal their faces to hide their identities.
