Of course, what kind of other idol could I want?! Idols always sing and look cute, that's what idols are like!!

[ If only this conversation wasn't happening on two different levels entirely for both of them, huh. ]

[protectthecastle]

I have heard of singing idols being referenced in books, but I think those have more to do with their location or inner workings. I can try to find them, but it may take a bit. Is that alright?

And what kind of idol do you find cute?

[reloves]

[ That's sort of a weird way to put it, "inner workings".. but she guesses it still sort of applies, so she's not questioning it. Her second mistake, really. ]

I mean cute as in handsome. You're a girl too, surely you understand what I mean when I say that, right? [ Don't tell her you have terrible taste in boys! Or.. well, cows. Yeah. ]

[protectthecastle]

I am sorry to say that I do not really understand. Rahzel has explained it to me a little bit, but she has said that it is very subjective.

[Some people dream about making out with cows, for instance.]

[reloves]

[ .. Why did Veronica seem so normal before, and now so weird all of a sudden.. Minako has to reread the text three times since she's pretty sure no one can just not understand something like that, it should be so obvious to every single girl out there! ]

Have you never thought anyone was attractive before?

[protectthecastle]

[She's very good at hiding the weirdness.]

I do not understand what makes someone attractive in the first place, so the answer is no.

[reloves]

Well, you just look at them and then..

[ This is so weird. So weird! How should she have to explain to anyone how being attracted to someone works, that's totally backwards..! ]

You have this.. feeling inside, you know? Like your heart beating really fast, something like that.

[protectthecastle]

I always thought palpitations were an indication of heart disease, not of attraction.

[reloves]

If they're really bad, then it's an illness, yeah! But if it's just for a moment and it's not too bad, then that's a total signal of the dokis!

[protectthecastle]

How bad must it be then for it to be classified as "not too bad"?

[reloves]

I don't know, I guess as long as you don't feel like you're dying then it's probably nothing bad..

It's really weird for me to explain this much, okay? There's a lot of people here who are oblivious about totally normal things, but this has got to take the cake! I've never met someone who didn't even know what that heart-pounding kind of feeling is, I bet some shoujo manga author is crying somewhere right now!

[protectthecastle]

I was never aware that it was weird. I have never experienced it, so I do not know what the feeling is. I did not mean to make you uncomfortable or to make anyone cry.

[reloves]

Of course it's weird to never experience that!! Doesn't everyone love?!

[ Even the tsunderes. They just don't want to admit it, okay.. like a lot of people Minako knows, it's like she's naturally drawn to them.. ]

[protectthecastle]

But I do love. I have just never felt physically attracted to someone, at least not to the point where I have heart palpitations.

[Or maybe they're just drawn to Minako. And her tsundere-pheromones.]

[reloves]

So you love someone purely for their inside? Their personality and all that stuff? That's what you're saying? [ Not that it's that weird to Minako if she'd just put it that way.. Minako's just a little too shallow to not notice how attractive people can be, okay. ]

[protectthecastle]

Yes.

There is nothing wrong with that, is there?

[She's gotten to the point where she doesn't even notice the outward appearance.]

[reloves]

No, not really.

[ Even Minako, with as ridiculous as she can be from time to time most of the time, has to admit that much. ]

It's actually pretty admirable. I'm sure a lot of people wish they could be that pure.

[protectthecastle]

Why is it pure?

[reloves]

Because you're not lusting after their crown jewels, of course!

[ Don't make her explain the birds and the bees, Veronica.

No one wants to see that happen. ]

[protectthecastle]

Why would I want something like that? I am sure their jewels are lovely and very valuable to the right buyer, but I would prefer flowers.

[What do jewels have to do with people?? She's so confused.]

[reloves]

[ ... yeah, she should have seen this one coming. If she didn't even know about physical attraction, then euphenisms are probably another whole new world for this girl.. ]

No, I'm not talking about actual jewels! I'm talking about.. you know, his carrot? His nuts? The snake in his pants?

[protectthecastle]

[........She's certain there's something she's not understanding here.]

I am afraid that I do not know. Also keeping a snake in one's pants seems unnecessarily cruel to the snake.

[reloves]

I'm not talking about an actual snake, you know.

[ Does she just.. not.. know anatomy.. Not being physically attracted to people is one thing, but this goes far beyond asexual and all the way into "where were you doing sex ed class". ]

[protectthecastle]

[Anatomy was the study of priests, and squires do not make reference to anatomy in front of the princess unless they want a sword to the groin courtesy of Veronica's guard, Rida. (Well, okay, maybe not a sword to the groin. But there would be Words and a training session where any thought of talking to the princess of anatomy would be thoroughly kicked out of them.)

And sex ed was one of those things that everyone assumed would happen. At some point.]

What are you talking about, then?

[reloves]

[ Well, fear no longer, everyone.. Minako will deliver the sex ed you've been waiting for so badly.

In the worst possible way. ]

I guess we'll have to start at the beginning, huh? No one ever gave you that talk? About what happens when a man and a woman love each other very, very much.
