He chuckled. "Nahh it's cool, and i might take you up on that sometime...There's a lot more to her than meets the eye, Min...and she really does care about me...I know you think she's a monster but she's not.." He explained. Hoping she might one day get it. "Well, if he laughed at you i'll make sure he can't laugh again for it...I've got your back, Min.." He said softly, offering her a kind smile and then ignoring richard..yes, he saw him...but he wasn't going to say anything..
Minerva sighed, "Well just give her sometime, once the hurt lessons, she will see your not trying to replace Joan with Elizabeth. She is just in a lot of pain is all, you both are over the loss of your mom." She gave an encouraging smile.
Minerva smiled, what did she just get herself into, listening to him talk about Elliot would be like pulling out teeth without Novocaine, but to help their friendship she would push through and deal with it. Yes she could hear about the dumb girl all the time, as long as they didn't have to be nice in person. Yes, she could handle that. "Ok.. ok, so the stupid princess has a soft side, I get it." that came out the wrong way and Minerva quickly frowned, "Sorry.. I'm trying, but it's going to take sometime." she offered hoping not to make him to mad. "Oh no..no, it's Ok, if he laughs, he laughs, I'll be fine, I'm a big girl. It will be better just to know if he likes me or not, so then I can move on if he doesn't." This constant nerves, blushing, and possible flirting was starting to drive her a bit crazy. She had to just say she liked him.
