I wonder if them hiking together is a common thing? Especially with how Max complies and follows David without any complaints. Max doesn’t even change his expression. Like maybe they go on hikes when they have disagreements that run a little deeper than “I think you’re a little frustrating. After Parents Day and the Order of the Sparrow, maybe David realized that talking to Max one on one was a lot more effective??? David’s first idea to talk to Max alone WOULD be to take him on a hike, like that is such a David thing to do.
TL;DR: Maybe it’s a common thing for David and Max to take hikes out to work out their problems.
