Michael shook his head. "You're not an easy target, mate. She's just completely batty." And it was true to some extent. Marietta was a nutter but some people did consider introverted people to be 'easy targets' whatever that really meant. Michael didn't care though. He wouldn't stand for it no matter what they thought. And okay, maybe if someone had come after Anthony and said he had been involved with Pandora like Lavender said Bianca might have been, Michael would have been just as angry as Justin, but Anthony was his best mate; he knew him backward and forward and there was no room for doubt. If it had been Ernie, Michael would have understood Justin's reaction, but Bianca...well, he just didn't think that Justin was quite as good of friends with her to know her that well. But either way, he understood the sentiment behind it now, considering he'd have done the same for Anthony.
"Forget about her. She's going to talk her way into her own mess. She's always been very good at it. Meanwhile we have some larger to consume and I might just need to drink you under the table." He grinned, trying to brighten the mood because this was never supposed to be an uncomfortable afternoon anyhow.
