Calm

A while later, Max and Emily returned to their inn, carrying unconscious Lily.

Emily's brows were furrowed together, she had a cold look on her face. Max, however, looked calm… frighteningly calm.

Shasha and Ray were waiting for them in the lounge. When they saw them, the duo visibly relaxed, and went over to them. 

"Everything alright?" Shasha asked, looking at unconscious Lily in Max's arms.

Max, however, acted as though he didn't hear her. Slowly, he walked past her, and went up the stairs.

Shasha couldn't help but frown when she saw this. It was understandable his mood wasn't good since his girl seemed to have been injured, but he could at least say something. She and Ray, after all, risked their lives to help them just now. 

If Oliver wasn't in too much rush… or was a little smarter?... he would've easily realized someone was helping Lily and Emily from the shadows. If he tried looking, finding them wouldn't be too difficult.
