Quick thinking she grabbed her leg with both hands letting go of him. "oowww I think it's getting tighter.. Come on plant let go." she said. It wasn't any tighter, yes it was uncomfortable, but it hadn't changed since Oakey had left, but she needed to distract both of them from the hurt on Maxwell's face. "M..maybe I should sit instead of standing on my leg. Get at least my weight off of it." She looked at Maxwell to see what his thoughts might be.
She started running through lessons, trying to think about something Betnley might have said that could help with them. She tried talking nice to it, that wasn't working. "Do you think we could stun it?" Looking at Maxwell again, "I..I'm just afraid of making it made and it breaking my leg." she was starting to get nervous and you could hear the fear in her voice now. Her calmness was slipping the longer this thing had a hold of her.
Maxwell was annoyed. She changed the subject. Typical Minerva, she could never deal with anything hard or awkward head on, one of the things that drew him to Elliot. They were so different. "Yeah you should get off of it..." He said and did something drastic, sure it would make things more awkward, but having her sit would only make it easier for the plant to pull her away.
Maxwell picked her up, without question if it was okay. Maybe it would keep her safe and push her to deal with the issue not between them. He nodded. "I think we should stun it....if it get's any tighter...let's give Oakey a few more minutes, i'm not risking it getting mad and hurting you if help is on the way. But don't worry whatever it does i'm right here...okay?"
