[ Sasuke. Look at your life. Look at your choices.
Of course Minako doesn't know anything about any of this though, so she just opens the door obliviously, a huge smile - by default, really - on her face. ]
Good morning, I-- [ .. woah, wait. Cute guy alert. Act natural, Minako. ] W.. well.. hi there..!
But wait. Maybe this is someone mistaking her for the real goddess of love and beauty. And in that case she definitely has to accept it..! Okay, Minako, act natural..! ]
Really? You did that pretty quickly! O.. ohohoho..! [ Overconfident laugh to overcompensate.. ]
[ She's.. slowly taking the box.. not looking into it yet, but still, she's more curious about what all of this is about now. She really doesn't get it anymore.. ]
Um.. I told you to bring me this during the past weeks when everything was weird, right..? Just making sure!
Ah, that's right. When you were in Kouha's body. [ Yeah. In Kouha's body. ] They're the largest that I saw, so they should be appropriate for a "tribute".
[ Kouha? She doesn't even know who that is, how could she be stuck in their body?! But okay, Minako, got to keep up the act, don't deny it, just accept it and look into the box..
...
The moment she does, she shrieks, dropping the box on the floor as if she burned her hands from touching it and taking at least three steps backwards. ]
[ ... should he answer that honestly. But come on, Minako, show some respect for the dead! He might have even said something to that effect himself if he cared enough to, but he's not exactly the kindest to animals as it is. ]
Did you at some point change your mind about what you wanted? [ Sasuke looks from her to the box that is now on the ground. ]
Why would I ask for something like this?! I'm the goddess of love, not some kind of weird demonic being!
[ Still not daring to touch the box for now. If it's needed she might give them a proper burial later, but for now she's still too freaked out by how sudden all it was. ]
Animals have feelings too! [ Normally she might not have felt as strong on the matter, but she remembers Artemis, of course. He might not fully have been a cat, but it's the same deal with any animal, isn't it? ]
How would you feel if a lion killed and ate you just since you're a human and not a lion?
If the lion is stronger than me, how I feel about it won't be enough to deter him. He will think of lions as more important than humans and I will think of humans as more important than lions. That is natural.
Do you not want these corpses? [ When was the last time you were asked this. ]
[ Never. And she hopes she'll never be asked this again.. ]
.. N.. no, of course I don't! Just go and give them a proper burial sometime, and promise me you'll never needlessly kill animals like that ever again! [ Sailor Venus works for PETA now.. ]

Sasuke takes a moment to return the cursory once-over he was given, taken mental notes about who knows what. ]
... Hello. [ If he notices any signs of social awkwardness on her part, he doesn't show it. ] I have the tribute that you asked for.

At any rate, here. In return for your advice. [ Right. The love advice that someone else actually gave him. He holds out the box, waiting. ]

But regardless, he's wondering if she should be called soft-hearted or ungrateful at this point. ]
no subject
[ She's fine with blowing her cover from earlier now, she doesn't want to be associated with some person who orders animals to be killed.. ]
I never asked you for any of this! So the person who did that tricked you, you know!

... I understand now.
There isn't much that can be done any longer. At the very least I'll give them a proper burial.

[ And with that she just.. slam the door shut right in front of him..
You're so nice, Minako. But then again, she was still half freaked out. ]
