Max had been distracted from what had, genuinely, been a lovely moment with Alex because the runaway droid decided to try and introduce his privates to the droid's dome at speed. It was enough that he immediately started thinking very un-jedi-like thoughts in regards to the damnable droid. Grunting a little bit, he did his best to clear his mind of those thoughts as the pain started to fade.
"Never thought I needed to include a cup..." he muttered to himself, giving her a dirty look at her laughter that he couldn't stop from changing to a smile of his own, "Laugh it up Alex... laugh it up..."
Shaking his head, he stood upright again and did his best to shake his legs, trying to work out the remaining, lingering, elements of pain. Good enough for him to be moving on he thought to himself. He managed a grin.
"I think I'm going to need some time to heal from this mission." he agreed with a laugh, "Haven't been hit there since I was a cop... ugh..."
Max reached out and took Alex's hand in his own again, giving it a gentle squeeze. He pulled her in closer and wrapped an arm around her shoulders and smiled.
"No one I'd rather spend time with, even with the mission ending how it did."
