He shrugged, laughed. "Eh, you could always teleport yourself..." A yawn followed the words, and "besides, this whole thing is probably just a scam to get a free piggy-back ride."
Isn't it lovely?

Max laughed, shaking his head good-naturedly. "Now that you put it that way, I guess it couldn't have been."
He walked in silence for a few minutes, almost gliding over the bumpy path, careful not to jostle his passenger. Then, out of nowhere, he turned to glance at her, one eyebrow raised and "come here often?" he questioned, well aware it sounded like a pickup line, knowing she wouldn't mistake it for one.

Max nodded. "It's my first time down here, although I've been at Starlight for about two months now." He coughed, ran a hand through his hair absent-mindedly. "Until about a week ago, I was being kept under pretty tight supervision... Making sure I don't kill anyone, that sort of thing." He paused, head tilting to the side. "I'm still considered a bit of a hazard... They're going to be mad, knowing I talked to someone."
He paused, glancing back at Callie and grinning. "Not that I actually would kill anyone... I'm too kind and gentle for that sort of thing." He laughed dryly, not bothering to explain.

He raised an eyebrow, shrugged, and told her. "I believe the school has a policy to 'watch' the students who've been in an asylum for five straight months. Who aren't used to seeing things yet." His eyes widened, fingers dancing absent-mindedly in the air. He had to admit, he was trying to scare her, somehow trying to test her to see if she'd even want to be around him anymore. On the other hand, he was just telling the truth. "I'm also still under suspicion as being a pyromaniac, setting fire to my home - not true, by the way."
He shrugged, eyes sparkling. "Hmm, but what if you're just a figment of my imagination? That'd be insane, wouldn't it? Walking along, chatting to an invisible female you're carrying on your back..." He laughed, starting through the forest to the school. “Think that could get me locked away again?â€Â
