[There hadn't been any question that Max would follow after her. Where Furiosa goes, he follows, her constant shadow whenever she permits it. And this time is no different. Which is why he doesn't fight it when the antlers are placed onto his head. Doesn't question the flower pushed into his hands.
Losing any of his clothing is a whole different story, of course. Even his jacket is kept on, despite how comfortable the temperature is. The boots with their laces tied together and slung over his shoulder is the only concession he makes. And even then, it's only so he can get into the booth before Furiosa gets too far away.
Being there with her though makes it all worth it. Brings a level of peace and comfort to him that he's only been able to find in her presence. The voices are silenced, the ghosts hidden, and all he can see is her.
It's why, in part, he doesn't realise where they are until she's offering over the paper. Doesn't really pay all that much attention to their surroundings when Furiosa herself is all the view he needs. So it does take him a while to piece it all together. To look between the paper in his hand and the unreadable carving. To understand what it is that Furiosa's asking of him.]
Second?
[Because his feelings towards her are more than just a Kink- He's aware that likely isn't what the paper means -and Friend doesn't go anywhere near far enough to explain what they are. Doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of just how deeply Furiosa has dug her way into his very being. So that only leaves one option left.]
