In happier times he might have laughed or quietly flirted beyond simple compliments but he simply wasn't that person anymore. Constant battle had sapped that from his very being. Seeing his men and friends in arms fall around him had taken so much of what had made Maximus, Maximus that he wasn't sure there was anything left worthy of such kindness.
"Wha' ye 'ave shown me 'as been impressive so far," he commented quietly. "I thank ye fer yer time an' I 'ope te convince me Da' te send Moira 'ere so tha' t'was nay wasted. Only time will tell I'm afraid. Thank ye again, Lady 'ufflepuff."
