“if anyone hurts you, it will be the last thing they’ll do.” -> for max :-)
Max had invited the other over for simple company, a like minded individual that understood their plight. Even for someone as successful as himself Maximilien was often met with scrutiny if only because he was an omnic. Human people could have a gambling addiction (and one he fed willingly) but the world seemed to forbade that he made any sort of name for himself because of it.
He had been lamenting over the various attempts on his empire, both between his competition and police forces, when mentioning that harm was more often than not included in these little games of charades. Nothing permanent, for certain, but harmful all the same.
Ramattra's response seems to floor him.
Max cannot help himself but to stare at the other, looking away again just a moment later.
"I appreciate your.. ah.." For an omnic that often had a response for everything, he was, for once, quite speechless. It doesn't last long as he recovers to try and save face.
"I appreciate your protectiveness, even if all I can offer to you in return is funding for your own purposes."
