Max couldn't help but lean forward as Kyle began to quietly and quite sadly tell the story of his parents and their demise. The young hunter felt a large pulse of pain in his heart for his new friend and training partner. Max had a relatively nice childhood to have a friend who was now an orphan saddened him quite a bit which meant that he had to do something to make things right and he knew exactly how to start. Max went completely silent as he just held up a finger as if to silently say that he would be right back. He then stood up and walked over to the two female waitresses and asked them for two smoothies, a pina colada smoothie and a cherry smoothie. He then walked back over to his table with smoothies in hand and just sat Kyle's cherry smoothie in front of him as he sat down.

"Kyle, I know I or my team can't replace what you have lost but if you would like, I'll gladly have you as an unofficial fifth member of my team and an official member of the Chromium family. I will fight alongside you when ever you need me."

Max then just smiled and began to sip his fruity smoothie rather happily. He knew that he could never replace what Kyle had lost but maybe together, they could work in repairing the cracks in each others emotional armor.
