Mina spotted Drax's giant form and pointed it out to Connor who cursed into her ear. She laughed at the man, who made her promise that she would not allow the 'ogre' to attack him. She gave her assurances and thanked the man for helping to distract her from the people watching her. Connor knew she did not like being the center of attention, and earlier in the day, he had promised to make her forget all about everyone else, and so far, he was making good on his promise.
Connor was crude, perverted and wild, but he treated her with respect and that was what she liked about him. Her first interaction with the man was less than ideal, but he had slowly made up for it. He had his flaws, and she had hers, but while Mina had been made to think that her personality quirks were bad, Connor had embraced his flaws as strengths, and he constantly reminded her that she was perfect just the way she was.
