Summary
Max was loud in combat. The boom of his shotgun and the steady stream of invective he kept up generally added to the overall force he projected. Lately, rather than simply promising death, he’d begun adding a new, existential level of threat by telling his enemies that they didn’t exist to begin with. It was funny, if not a little unsettling. He was also noisy when he was injured - Pearl was pretty sure the entire colony had heard about it that time he splashed rapt spit on his arm.
So to hear him make a sound like that, soft and surprised, but with a jagged edge of pain… her chest and throat were so tight they burned, even though she already knew what she would see behind her.
