As Maxie and (Name) took off towards Archie's hideout, they stayed close to one another. While Maxie and (Name) both were very work-oriented, they did care a lot for one another; hence why seeing Maxie so upset hurt (Name).
"We'll get it back, Maxie." (Name) placed a hand on her lover's shoulder, giving it a reassuring rub. Her touch always seemed to comfort the stressed man, especially now.
"I hope you're right about that. Archie and his team of degenerates are sneaky." Maxie mumbled in reply. His eyes were dark and cloudy, showing his distress. This odd side of Maxie always broke (Name)'s heart.
Although (Name) believed strongly in Team Magma, she hated all of the stress that it brought for not only Maxie but the entire organization. Now, (Name) would not dare to leave Team Magma, but she did get quite frustrated with all of it at times.
"I'd say that Archie is probably celebrating their 'victory' now. It shouldn't be that hard for us to sneak in and take it back." (Name) reassured, giving Maxie a smile. "We can handle it. You know, you're a hell of a lot better leader and man than he is. We'll retrieve our orb and raise Groudon once again!"
Maxie blinked at (Name), comforted by her words. His gaze softened as his eyes lightened. "You're right. I believe you, (Name). That moron won't beat us!"
"Exactly." (Name) grinned before pecking Maxie's cheek. "I love you, Maxie."
"I love you too, (Name)."
