The venom from her surprises Max, even if it shouldn't. His eyes go a little wider and he stands up a little straighter. It stings. The name was meant to sting. Perhaps just one more way Max is atoning to Erik for his crime of daring to defend himself against a vampire and win

"I'm sorry too... I don't know what he plans to do about that. I can try and prevent him from picking anything terrible if that's what he decides."
Then, on a whim, he decides to add, "Jonah. My name was Jonah before..."
