Max was up early as he had a number of errands to run before he had agreed to meet with 'Dite. Surprises didn't make themselves, after all.

Still, he'd allotted himself plenty of time so that he wouldn't have to rush around. No point in getting tired before his date, after all. The fact that it would also let him spend some time talking with anyone he ran into? Well, that was just a bonus.

And, of course, eventually he'd have everything done, and he'd be meeting the goddess. All in all, it was a good day to wander around the beach wearing nothing but a pair of shorts.
