'Two Truths' or 'A Lie'

[The one shown in the picture window is very purposely Mercury. Equally intentional, it's too close-up to really give a hint of where she is.]

I want to apologize for my actions. Because of certain situations, I needed that energy to be able to live. I should have said so right away and asked for help. Please understand that.

[Well, this is certainly unexpected.]

The energy to live? Really?

[Otherwise known as capitalizing on ignorance regarding the Dark Kingdom and her world. And who knows? It might be true. Is it really inconceivable that the amount of dark energy needed to corrupt a sailor senshi, of all beings, would be enough to make the changes to her body require it?]

Have you come to ridicule me?

[nottanzanite]

[He's not buying it, dude. Though he's willing to test how long you can go without it if he has to... damned mildly skewed loyalties.]

I'd never dream of such a thing.

So will you forgive me, too?

[Aww, look at that honest face, though! And it was Zoi's own dear Master Kunzite who told/taught her to lie!]

[nottanzanite]

I don't like you.

[Honest faces don't do much for him. Why, look at all the time's he's made Usagi cry.] Why would I forgive you?

[no_use_running]

I see. So you definitely won't?

[nottanzanite]

I really don't care either way about what you did or what you're doing. Just stay away from me.

[no_use_running]

That was already decided.

[nottanzanite]

Glad to see you still have some sense left.

Then let's get along from now on.

[Which will inevitably be broken the next time one of them pesters the other, but hey. It works temporarily.]
