[Is it that he's not into it? Max is certainly a good looking man. But there's a vulnerability to sex that he's not quite sure he wants to put himself in with him just yet.]
I'm not.
[But then, in the effort of being honest - or maybe not burning all his bridges - he hedges:]
At least not right now. Nothing personal.
[Lie. But unfortunately one he may not be covering that well (7).]
( he may not know Rusty well enough, but he's been fixated enough on him for the last few days. his (12) surmounts the personalisation behind it. but he doesn't have to tell him. his life, his rules. he has a lot to cover up. obviously.
that it being person or the not right now, he doubts both, but he doesn't know why. )
[Unfortunately for that sense motive he gets a mask (19). Almost as though Rusty's picked up on the fact that it wasn't his best lie, and he's trying to shut things down.
Centuries worth of complications and old wounds that Rusty isn't ready to reveal, isn't ready to talk about, isn't ready to give Max a bar to rise above just to be accused of moving the goal posts if Rusty's feelings don't change.]
I'm sure there'll be someone willing back in Moscow, if you're willing to put the effort in.
( yeah, well, he doesn't usually try twice. so we'll see what happens. )
I don't know what that means.
( but, sure, if he wants to find someone, he probably will. rusty won't be surprised when he finds someone leaving max's hotel room the next day, when it's time to get out of moscow.

Yeah. Fair play.
