Max was happier than she had been since Angel's death. Like most things, she kept herself from exposing the seemingly perpetual wound that was the biggest loss she'd ever taken. But she kept that from Iggy. Dying in Rivelata didn't mean Angel was dead at home, but it didn't ease the guilt she felt, nor the irritation that was building as she remembered the callous treatment she'd received.
Ignoring that, Max found it slightly amusing Iggy had found a girl to bond with in such a short time. Then again, Max had always liked Nunnally, and out of everyone her brother could've picked, Lelouch's little sister was probably the best (and hardest to date) for him.
"The limit's forty feet," Max called as they flew back to her house, and, consequently, nearby Lelouch's, "The roofs don't top thirty, so keep above that, and you should be fine."
She was happy to have another of her flock; Max couldn't recall missing each one of them so much. Namely her right wingman, but that was a thought for another time. She kept herself close enough she figured Iggy could follow her, but far enough away their wings wouldn't tangle. It was nice to be flying with one of her flock again.
"Angle down, we're landing on a roof. There's one at twelve o'clock, twenty feet away, ten feet down." Of course, it was actually the roof next to Lelouch's house, but coming from the docks, he shouldn't see if he was watching the street, she hoped.
