At first, Mina did not understand why Cylus was kicking Connor. She had assumed it was because he had held her hand, but after he released it, Cylus still looked angry. She was replaying Connor's words in her mind but could not see anything wrong until he followed up by asking her if he could teach her to use her 'hands.' She intuitively knew he was being dirty, and Cylus responded accordingly. Mina melted in her seat as Connor confronted Cylus. She could not tell if the man was being loud on purpose, but he certainly did an excellent job with catching everyone's attention.

The man had managed to twist her words, but he was not exactly lying. She agreed to a relationship; and a marriage was a relationship. Mina cast her eyes toward Ash, who raised an eyebrow as she chewed whatever she was eating.
