I'm not sure why, I watched that thing take Millie right here." She felt her voice get shaky again.
She then laughed a bit, "You know Oakey, you and I haven't been on good terms this term, but I have to say.. I get the plant fear. I don't ever want to see another plant again if I can help it." She had her fill of plants and wanted to stay far away from them. All the time she had interactions with that stupid thing, "You know that day you came to the hot springs and that vine was around me.. Just think if it would have drug me.." She didn't even want to finish that sentence, it was on her mind so much lately after everything that had gone on.
What no! The Plant fear thing was his, and possibly Milton's now.
"Minerva, it's not all plants." He tried to say reassuringly to her.
"You did a lot better than I would have in the Green House. I just froze, you went right at it to try and free Milton." He set the cage down beside him as she explained being there watching Millie being dragged off, what an awful sight that must have been.
"What about Pepper?" Oakey asked unaware of what happened to the dog.
and speaking of those bad terms.
"I've been meaning to apologize actually." He frowned and tried to look Minerva in the eyes, which had become difficult since she took up the fetal position.
"You were right about Elliot. I had no idea she was so hateful to my heritage, to you, and to Sophie." He placed a hand on her shoulder to try and get her to look up.
"I'm sorry I doubted, and yelled at you for being mean to her."
