[Tamamo is clearly in a better mood.

The reason? Obvious, most likely, given how she had escaped the cafeteria in search of her Master. Her expression is thoughtful, though unwrinkled by concern, and her kimono trails behind her like a wedding dress as she walks the halls of their prison.

Seeing Shiraishi before her, however, the woman's nose gives a visible scrunch]

Ah, Boar-san. Good evening.

[A woman of manners, of course, and so she will greet him, though she'll just as quickly skirt around him unless he has business with her]

From:

felinguistic

[ Thank goodness for small miracles. After a moment of surprise, and then pointing at himself in a "who, me?" gesture, Shiraishi tilts his head at her. ]

You look more relaxed. Did you find your precious detective?

From:

foxweddings

But of course. I would have removed your head from your shoulders otherwise, for daring to wander into my presence.

[A tilting laugh, covered by her sleeve]

I am in a good mood, however, so your misdeeds will be forgiven for now. I hope the evening finds you well, Boar-san ♥

Threatening murder over something so petty isn’t a very charming character trait, you know.

[ Well, at least she’s in a friendlier mood. ]

Yes, yes. Thank you for your generosity. Did he explain about the room to you too? Makes you wonder just what sorts of things were going on here before we got here. If the decor didn’t do that anyway.

From:

foxweddings

Please, your personality is far uglier than mine, you've no room to complain.

[she ain't denying the pettiness tho]

He offered me some details, yes. [glancing at him from the corner of her eyes]

It seems we will not be able to explore the room he found himself trapped in. A pity.

From:

felinguistic

[ Shrug. ] If you say so.

Mm. It's a shame none of them propped the door open -- even if the room itself wasn't the same, you can get a read on things from knowing something's there. Context can make a lot of things clearer.

...

Although we can say for certain now this definitely leans towards love hotel instead of regular hotel. Decor aside.

From:

foxweddings

That was the most likely conclusion from the start.

[Well, since they're talking shop, Tamamo will drop the pretense of leaving for now, and settles in front of him with her arms folded in front of her]

Though I remain concerned as to the "whys" -- and how fast we'll turn on each other should the announcement prove true.

[He knows the one she's talking about]

From:

felinguistic

[ How kind. ]

If going home is the prize? I wouldn't give it long.

We're still somewhat out of the loop though, announcement or not. Who, what, where, when and why. But people don't need those answered in order to act.

From:

foxweddings

[tamamo never goes out of her way to look for Shiraishi; that's just an indisputable fact of this hotel, and anyone with eyes would realize as much.

But today... well, things are a little different, and she roams the hallways and rooms until she finds him, wherever that grinning bastard might be.]

Ah, here you are, then.

[arms folded business-like]

I have a proposition for you.

From:

felinguistic

[ tamamo, you break his heart. he's here, waiting for you and your fluffy ears... ]

Hm?

[ he's less grinning, more chilling and flicking through the clamshell but y'know what sometimes a change is good. ]

This is out of the blue. [ he's not upset though? he looks intrigued. ] But go on then, I'll listen.

From:

foxweddings

It will be a long while before Master earns the chance to touch my ears, so for now, I still have my debt to settle with you.

[And her expression... flattens, like she can't believe she's going to offer this]

I want access to that gift shop. And need the coins for it. And you seem like the curious sort who would join me in my endeavors.

From:

felinguistic

[ That she does.

Although, to be fair he does look a little surprised when he makes the suggestion. And then thoughtful. ]

...

[ After a moment where you can almost see the cogs turning in his mind as he thinks through the proposal... he nods. ]

I'd like to get a look at it as well. If people are going to repeat last week using item from that shop, it'd narrow down what we're looking for if we know what's missing fom the shop and what could have been used.

[ ... ]

And I'm curious what this place thinks counts as a "gift".

From:

foxweddings

Exactly. And I've no issue using whatever I find in there for my own benefit, if such things prove useful.

[Thank god he's pragmatic and sensible. Exactly what she needs to calm her spirit. Tamamo relaxes slightly, and gives a nod]

I've no preferences when it comes to the particulars. I'll leave the details up to you.

[So the where, the when, the how many clothes... yeah she'll roll with whatever]

From:

felinguistic

If you're not bothered then the sooner it's done the sooner we have access to the shop. [ ... ] And the sooner you're out of that debt that's you've had hanging over your shoulders all this time.

Seems like a situation with positive outcomes.

From:

foxweddings

Very well. But if you touch my ears even once, I will break your fingers.

From:

felinguistic

[ sigh. ]

This deal just got less fair. You can touch my [ FAKE AS HELL YOU WEIRD MAN ] ears in return if it makes it even.

From:

foxweddings

-- But I don't want to touch your ears!

[She really doesn't want to touch any of you, son, this is just a business transaction!!]

Why are you even so obsessed with my ears, anyway?!

From:

felinguistic

[ hey he's hot but you gotta deal with his personality until you find that marshmallow centre somewhere in there, that's the curse of these interactions. ]

...

Because they're cute and fluffy looking?

From:

foxweddings

Hmph! You would be correct in both of those assumptions.

From:

foxweddings

But I don't let just anyone touch my ears, I'll have you know. They represent this pure maiden's heart, and I can't allow you to sully them so easily.
