Boring!Max could've used that kind of enjoyment in his day.
He watched Vivi curiously, his eyes following her fingers as they traced the frame. "Ah." That was no help. It... used to be easier to sneak out? What did she mean? He didn't really know, but he gave her a small smile and a nod anyway. Surely she knew what she was talking about, so there was no reason to question her.
His eyebrows raising in surprise as Vivi turned on him, Max took in her general presence for a moment before responding, "I appreciate that. I like your curiosity and... adventurous spirit." Very admirable. "Sure I'll stay. I don't have anything to do." He shifted the bag on his shoulder, grateful that he had an excuse to procrastinate a bit longer, then recrossed his arms. "So what's our plan?" Did they even have one? Or were they giving up? "Simple would be so boring. Any random 'Puff could do it." Vivi wasn't sure why his face had gone all crumpled and unhappy, but she didn't like it. This was fun and there was no reason for sulky faces. She didn't know him nearly well enough to jabjabjab him with her finger until he perked up, but he almost got the deadly finger anyway.
Buck up, Eagle Boy. They were having fun. "I like solving problems, and this, my friend, is an excellent problem." She shook her ponytail at him as she turned back toward the mirror, pantomiming an attempt to lift the mirror off the wall by hooking her fingers under the frame.
No luck, although Max earned himself another grin for 'fessing up to liking her adventurous spirit. It intimidated some boys, but Max liked it. Awesome. "Mutual admiration. Love it when a plan comes together. And... do y'know what, Max? I feel a draft against my fingers right... here." She pointed to the corner of the frame on the opposite side from where she'd banged her nose.
