[For his part, Tsuchi really likes the kimono, as he can't help but bring a hand up to check for anything that needs to be touched up around the collar or the like here once he's done looking over himself.

He kind of regrets that they are here for a job and that he can't just forgo the ball to do something more fun with Suga in this kimono, but alas.]

Good. I'm glad that we don't have to waste time repeating any warnings here. Are you ready to go?

Of course.

[Suga takes one of Tsuchi's hands in his as they enter. The ballroom is full with supernaturals of all kinds - some more humanoid in appearance than others, including a couple of spiders like Tsuchigomori. Everyone is dressed to the nines, and music drifts through the room from instruments that seem to play themselves.

A few spirits glance over at their entry. A couple indistinct murmurs. Is that a human...?]

[Tsuchigomori doesn't pay any attention to the spirits that glance at them, acting for all the world as if it's perfectly natural to them to be here like this as he guides Suga towards where some drinks can be obtained.

He picks one up to sample, and after he licks against one of his fangs as if checking the taste for anything off that's lingering there, he then hands it to Suga.]

Alright, this one should be safe for you to consume while we're here if you want something to drink.

[If Suga does drink it, he'll find it tastes like a normal type of tea, though perhaps with a hint of strawberry as a flavor.]

[Grateful for Tsuchi checking for - whatever it is that supernaturals drink at parties - Suga tastes a sip.]

Oh, it's good. Can we have some of this at home too?

[Not that Suga should attempt to make spirit food anytime soon, of course.]

Sure. I can try to acquire some the next time I go shopping.

[He picks up a different drink for himself that has a rather sickly purple color to it, but he seems to be sipping it just fine without any problems, so it must be some kind of supernatural based drink that they can stomach easy in comparison to any humans that would have attempted it.

When he speaks, it's a lower tone though this time, clearly not intended to be overheard by anyone and just for Suga's ears.]

If someone offers you anything else though when I'm not here to see it, it will also be a helpful deterrent having something else already in your hands here.

[Good timing, too. A spider supernatural approaches them, smiling coyly behind her fan.]

What a surprise it is to see you here, Tsuchigomori. I thought you hated these kinds of get-togethers.

[Suga looks between the woman and Tsuchi. Do you know her...? Should he say something?]

[Tsuchigomori doesn't even seem to acknowledge Suga glancing at him and her with confusion, instead offering a polite enough smile to the other spider supernatural.]

I could have said the same about you. Given that someone like you has quite the social standing here in comparison to some of the others that show up to these gatherings.

[He then puts his hands on Suga's shoulder, using a third to extend and hold his drink to keep it from being lost or dropped.]

I don't think you've met my companion here yet, have you?

[Hopefully the other supernatural will take this as an opportunity to introduce themselves to the human, and... nothing too grand aside from that, he hopes.]

Joroguko. I must say, Tsuchigomori is very lucky to have picked up such a cute young man.

Oh, um, thank you? -Suga.

[He's definitely not giving his full name, he knows that's a bad idea, but being called 'cute' has him a little flustered.]

How kind of you to say.

[But, while his tone is still casual and his smile still pleasant enough, Suga may feel Tsuchigomori's hands squeeze his shoulders momentarily before he speaks again.]

So, what business can we help you with today? It must be something important if you are taking time out of your busy schedule to speak with us here.

Now, now. This isn't a gathering for business, but for pleasure.

[Suga is pretty sure that would be flirting if they weren't literally explicitly already on a date?? Where is this lady's date.]

Some might say business is pleasure.

[Tsuchi however also notes the fact that she is alone.]

So where is your companion? Don't tell me they were so cold as to leave you to wander around alone here.

Oh, no, she's over there.

[The spider gestures with one of her spare arms to another spider lady, who is currently Blatantly Flirting with a dog boy half her height who looks very, very nervous.]

We don't mind sharing, you see.

Ah, of course.

[He nods as if in understanding, good enough at acting as if he does not particularly care about the plight that the dog boy demon nearby may soon be facing. It's only natural for spider demons to behave in this particular manner, after all, especially female ones.]

I'll have to remember to say hello to her as well when I have the opportunity to do so.

Hmm, well, if you're not busy after this~ I've always found the desserts here a bit... lacking, personally.

[She's looking at Suga why is she looking at Suga oh god he knows why she's looking at him. It takes all of Suga's willpower not to step backwards.]

[At that, Tsuchi smiles, but it's not really particularly friendly as he grips Suga's shoulder with one of his hands a little harder than before.]

My apologies, but I'm afraid I can't share this one with you. Perhaps you'll have better luck trying one of the others around here who will be more suitable for your tastes.

That's disappointing to hear. You should hurry and eat him up if you don't want him to be snatched out from under you, you know.

...um, do I get a say in who I'm eaten by...?

[Since they're talking about it in front of him and all?]

Oh trust me, I intend to.

[Wow, that sure is a possessive sort of note to his tone here in response there, as he pretends to casually ignore Suga's question to keep up appearances in front of the spider woman here.]

But, you know me. I like to take my time with these sort of things until they are just ripe to my liking.

Hmm~ I hope that works out for you, Tsuchigomori.

[The spider woman's partner waves her over, and she smiles politely, nods to Tsuchigomori, and heads over. Leaving Suga to give Tsuchigomori this look.]

Seriously?

[Tsuchi waits until she's out of earshot before he looks at Suga, offering an apologetic expression.]

Was that too much?

I think most people don't like it when people talk about eating them right in front of them. Even for appearances.

[He does not know vore exists as a kink, nor does he really want to know.]

[Ah...]

I'm sorry. It was the best thing I could think of to get her to drop the discussion.

[Still, he tries to offer a hair ruffle here with one of his other hands as a further apologetic attempt.]

[He's weak to hair ruffles, and he leans into the touch.]

...If it did happen I'd want it to be you. If anyone else tries they'll regret it.

[That... actually gets a momentary blush from Tsuchi, before he coughs and tries to wave it off.]

Come on. We still have work to do here.

[Oh no, cute.]

Right, intel gathering. Ready when you are, Tsuchi.

Mm. Let's go.

[And so they get back to work keeping an eye out on what Hanako had been wanting them to look for, asking around where possible... at some point however, they may get separated as some demons demand Tsuchi's attention long enough that he can't really look at Suga while talking with them.

Hopefully Suga will be fine on his own for a little while...]
