Max wasn't alone in not knowing how things worked in this place. It seemed like mystery after mystery piled up here, to the point that Peter had just decided to give up on puzzling through most of it. He'd never been the best at that analytical kind of stuff, anyway. For now, it was best to stick to the basics, which for the moment meant helping Max.
Because when it came down to it, Peter could never turn away from someone who was in need. Even if all it turned out to be was the guy clawing at his own face, that was still something that should be addressed. And if it was more than that, then Peter wanted to get to the bottom of it.
"M66, got it. Mine's M24, but don't worry, I'll come to you." It's not like it was far to go. Nathan's room was in that block at one point, so Peter knew exactly how to get there. With that important bit of information exchanged, though, it seemed like the shift was wrapping up and they were both going to need to dry off and get changed. "I'll see you tonight, Max," Peter said as he turned off his shower head, giving the other man a wave and then heading back to the changing area.
"Great! I can't wait to see you." Max hoped he didn't sound too excited at the idea. He just really didn't want to deal with the night alone, particularly when he was like this... whatever it was that happened when it got dark, he'd do better with someone else around. Ideally it'd be someone he knew a little better, but he'd take what he could get.
"See you later..." A little late, and probably unnecessary, but oh well. Peter probably wouldn't mind. Max went to get dry himself, which was going to be a frustrating process if the tenderness of his many scratches was any indication. At least the night was one thing he didn't have to worry about now!
