Minx felt safe and warm. With Riot now there she felt protected. She gazed up at him in a doe eyed fashion, her adoration growing by the second. Her mind began to conjure up fantasies of her as the helpless princess being rescued by the handsome prince. Riot smiled down at her.
"Minx I am here for whatever you need. Ask and it shall be yours." Riot said gallantly and as if to read her mind he dipped his body forward in a slight bow. Minx giggled ,delighted with his playful antics. " Hmm ,,,,well I wouldn't mind some aspirin. My head is absolutely killing me. Did you pick some up?"
" Yes, as a matter of fact!. Practically bought out the whole drug store , I did. I left the bags with your door man. I'm sure he should be bringing them up momentarily. In the meantime I think we ought to discuss your current matter of dress." Riot frowned and eyed Minx critically. From the look on his face she could tell Riot disapproved. And she immediately began to feel small. Minx always tried to look her best and hated to be anything less. Especially where Riot was concerned. He expected strict obedience from both her and Rapture when it came to appearance. And when there was an important event, even scrutinized the tiniest details. But as Minx lay there miserably , she had not the faintest idea of what Riot was talking about. There was no gala party type event to attend, no interview, no live performance. She was just here. Alone. In her apartment. And she was SICK. Surely he wasn't serious.
"Riot, you know I'm not well!" She stated defensively.
"Of course I know that. Don't be absurd. But that is precisely my point. When one looks good,one feels good. I imagine it works the other way around. So you see.. I'm only trying to help you Minx. And if wearing whatever it is you call that which you have on is any indication as to your present state, well then no wonder you feel so terrible." Minx just stared at him a little stunned. She knew Riot almost better then anyone but even he surprised her once in a while. Riot caught her glance. He knelt beside her. " I am not suggesting that it is merely your clothes that are to blame for your condition but obviously it cannot hurt to look a little more presentable"
Minx rolled her eyes. " Fine Riot!" She said curtly " What did you have in mind?" She might as well play along it was clear he was dead set on this madness
"I am going to call Yaki right now and have him create something immediately. And don't worry Minx, I will make sure it is fashionable as well as functional."
