If he had been a more pleasant person, she might have actually felt rather bad about being so obstructive to his wishes. However he was making it rather difficult to actually play nice with him. But then she was the one who had wanted to be a healer and not just a debutante, she had signed up to be nice to unpleasant people.
'Then I shall be able to say that I treated the ministor for magic' she responded, trying not to rise to the bait of his tone, but instead act as suitably impressed as he no doubt intended her to be. It was becoming clear that Mister Maxime had, inspite of Murdock being a werewolf, a greater killer instinct than her brother. Murdock had become the head of his department, a noted member of the wizengemot, but he had no political aspirations, never even considered going for a position like the Minister for Magic. So when Mister Maxime said he would one day be minister she had little cause to doubt him. He would certainly look the part at press conferences.
She laughed at his assertion of her pep - as a healer it was a valuable resource. 'I will bear it in mind Mister Maxime,' she returned, as though he had offered her some great compliment on the shade of her dress, as though she would look better in blue rather than red. 'Less pep - noted, although being more assertive is not something gentlemen liked in young ladies?' it was as much of a genuine question as a commentary on his statement of her personality. 'I thought most men of note wanted demure, quiet, with sunny dispositions.' her eyebrows gave a small teasing eyebrow raise.
