Max looks ill. He takes another sip of his coffee to both fill the lengthening silence and wet his suddenly dry mouth.
It's only a matter of time. He knows it because he's lived it. It didn't take long after people found out what he was, for them to start trying to convince him to forsake his Master forever. And that was with his master being far away. Max is here. He is actively participating in it.
What will his friends and family think of him doing the one thing he swore he'd never do? Will they understand his reasons?
"Maybe it would be best if we didn't tell anyone about the true nature of our relationship. If they don't know then the won't try to interfere." He feels queasy just suggesting it, but he needs time. This needs to come to light in a controlled manner.
