Basil is quiet. He doesn't...understand what she means. For the first time since all of this started, he's left feeling legitimately confused, like they've misunderstood each other somehow. Or, no...Basil has misunderstood something Max has said.
And once again, Max doesn't...stop talking, even when Basil is pretty sure she would have if she could. It would make him feel guilty for it being forced from her, if they hadn't already spent so much time together on the floor doing exactly this for...what feels like it must be hours, at this point.
His expression shifts to one of concern. He can't help it, it's...worrying. His ears- previously perked- droop low now over his shoulders as he leans just a little closer, trying to look at Max's face. The light flickers oddly off it now due to the glow of his own hands, red mixed with blue. In this light...she somehow manages to look alive and dead at the same time.]
