[But she laughs along with him, leaning back into the chair (that she's sitting properly in). He's very right, of course. She does this for many reasons, and helping people is the second one.]
And now you say everything I do is crazy. There's just no winning. I'm going to request a different assistant next time.
[Hey, if she wasn't such a freak, he'd probably still be sitting in his room feeling sorry for himself. He rubs the back of his head sheepishly.]
Hey, I never said I wasn't crazy too. Besides, you can't get rid of me. No one else is going to carry you to the car when your dainty little feet get tired, y'know.
[She crosses her legs and sets her elbow on the arm of the chair, propping her chin up and looking not unlike a lazy cat.]
Maybe that was my plan all along. I could use a nice long break. [A pause.] And if that's the case, then no thank you, I don't want to imagine you in a dress.
[Terra just laughs as he kneels down and grabs the can of paint, placing it on the ground close by the final, unpainted spot.]
If you ask me, you've been on break long enough already.
[Making his way back, he walks behind Minako and starts to lean down behind her, so his neck if hovering just over her shoulder. Given that he's next to her ear, his tone is hushed a fair bit more.]
You're only saying no because I'd pull it off better then you.
[By the time Minako can shove him away or deliver another devastating flick to the forehead, she'll notice that she's now floating in midair, getting closer and closer to the spot that hasn't been painted yet.]
But I also think we both really want to go home, so let's do this together, 'kay? You know, teamwork, and all that shit. [Also hurry before he DROPS YOU.]
You and I both know you weren't getting out of that chair without significant intervention.
[SIGH. He carries her and her throne over to where the brush is resting and tilts her enough that it's in arm's reach.]
Well, if I didn't pick you up first you wouldn't have let me put the brush in your hand. [And once she grabs it he carries her back over in front of the spot.]
You have about 65 seconds before I drop you. No rush.
Wow! Look at you go when the pressure is on. [It actually does start to strain on him after a bit, but that's not information he's going to let out into the world. He does make a point to lift her up as high as he can as she finishes, though.]
[He's a bit taken aback and also not entirely sure what the level of sarcasm is here, so he just kind of squints at her.]
...Not really. [I mean, he was probably just going to go home and get mad at himself for not being able to properly memorize all of the major battle sites of the first world war.]
Exams aren't for a while, so I still have time I can burn without feeling absolutely terrible about it.

[She leans over to playfully flick his forehead.]
Thanks for the offer, Terra, but I'm a big girl. Now that you mention it, though, I kind of want to see if I can carry you.
no subject
"Big girl." [translation: minako ur smol as frick]
You can carry me when you marry me. [Snickers.]
Carry me across the threshold like the groom you've always wanted to be.

Is that a challenge, Terra? Because I will absolutely take you on.
[And then the smirk is gone, and she's gasping, arms flung out to keep her balance.]
Terra! [Give a girl (and her skirt) some warning!] At least give me the brush if you're going to do this!

Your forehead is so getting flicked once I get down.
[Minako works quickly and efficiently though, intent on making sure she doesn't miss any spots.]
...okay, I'm done.
no subject
I guess I should drop you now, huh?
no subject
It's like you're asking me to kick your shins.
no subject
Actually no, he just pretends to. He then sets her down very gently and turn away from her, rubbing his arms.]
It's never any fun if you're not threatening me by the end of the day. [He looks back at her.]
Seriously though, good job today. It looks awesome, as far as coats of paint go.
no subject
You too, Hercules. Thanks for not dropping me. You busy after this?

You feeling up for coffee?

I'm not one to turn down latte, so you probably already know my answer.
