Let's start with the better news. It's...maybe not so relevant now, but the other rooms on the first floor are a gift shop and a ballroom. The gift shop was opened today when we were investigating, and...the ballroom was still locked.
[...and...aha.] ...and I found out something about how things work here. [...] Don't take this the wrong way, but have you...you know. Been with anyone since we got here?
[All of that extra detail about ballrooms and gift shops goes straight out the window as Tamamo leans over, staring him in the face]
Could it be-- you're interested in how many I've seduced with my tails since arriving? My my, how brazen of you to ask. As if I would have eyes for anyone other than you...
[WHY. His eyes widen suddenly and he blinks rapidly. Hewwo???]
Then this is going to be news to you because it was news to me. [So yeah, that's right.] Turns out people among us are getting paid for sleeping with each other. [He'll. Let that one sink in.]
Maybe because people think we're married?! [TAMAMO?] Calm down, I don't know, you'll have to take that up with everyone else.
[But he's also still on his back and letting her grab the front of his shirt so that's. Fine.] From what I've been told it's one token per sexual act. Goes into an app called Finansex, could maybe be used for the gift shop but the people who told me about it weren't sure yet. But it seems most likely.
They could at least have the decency to proposition me anyway!!
[She'll eventually stop trying to strangle his shirt, but that's only replaced with a pout and her face dropping straight into his chest. Is she sniffling? She might be sniffling.]
Masterrrrrrr, is it because I'm old? Are my tails drooping?
It's still optional. We don't even know what the tokens are for, so...it's something to keep in mind. [...they should maybe discuss this though?] If it's something you want to do, then...
[Junpei, a dumb bitch who isn't used to being propositioned.]
Well. Uh. [He's not that dumb though because he gets that implication and he blinks at her again.] I mean not right now, no. I'm still learning about the people here and seeing who might be the best to align ourselves with.
[It's fine, it's sort of comforting and cozy? Granted she can probably hear his heartbeat spiking a bit but it's fine.]
Even so, it would benefit both of us if you could get along with her. Especially if you're still staying with her. [...] She's the one who told me about the app, by the way. So she might be good for information in the future.
Are you even interested in girls? [I'm. Sorry he would ask. But at the same time he stares at the ceiling and makes a face.]
She's not really my type, so she wouldn't be my first choice. [Rest assure, he's not touching that with a ten foot pole. The name "Zero" still gives a kneejerk reaction.]
Why wouldn't I be interested? There is beauty in all human forms. And I might find myself a suitable husband among them as well.
[Yeah she uses the term "husband" super loosely, apparently]
-- And what's this? Master has a type?
[Her ears are literally vibrating with intrigue here. And remember that quickening heartbeat of his? Well, apparently she did notice, because she traces a finger right over it, I am so sorry]
Do tell, do tell, the sort of lady or man that would set my Master's heart alight~ ♥
[He doesn't question why she's using husband for both genders. It's probably a servant thing? It's fine. But also okay, sure, he can acknowledge that both genders can hold beauty but this isn't about him.
Except Tamamo's ears twitching is always a bad sign and there's a nervous laugh when her finger trails over his chest. At least he's wearing a shirt this time, and he's trying to keep a straight face all the same.]
Does that really matter? I'm not sure it's ever going to come up. [No he's just. conflicted about a lot of things, it's fine.]
[Tamamo when she's amused is one thing; it's another entirely when she is being serious. Something seems to have prompted the latter, and while she doesn't move, she regards him carefully]
[His heartrate levels out again. Thanks Tamamo. He doesn't mind when she pulls back, turning his head to keep an eye on her.]
...don't burden yourself too much. But if you decide to...I'm okay with it. [It's not so much permission as an addendum to their contract.] I've never really used sex to gain information, but if that's a possibility...we should think about it.

[Tamamo is occasionally bold, but not stupid. No sir]
What other details did you want to inform me of before tomorrow?

[I'm so sorry Junpei, Tamamo's got her hands fisted in his shirt as she starts screeching in offense]
You're telling me people are being rewarded for debauchery and I wasn't informed?! Just how much are they getting paid? What are the perks?
Why has no one approached me yet asking for a night on the town?!
no subject

After a moment, he says:]
Would you say yes if they did?
no subject
Her head pops up, glancing at him]
To most of them? No.
[Stone cold. Guess this fox spirit is picky.]
Though seeing as there are benefits to exploit, I suppose I'll be stretching my standards to accommodate...

no subject
[she does not specify who the heck she is pursuing so, engage at your own risk, dude]
no subject
Depends. Is it someone worth keeping an eye on? [So that's not exactly a no, but he's curious.]
1/2
no subject
[rubbing at one of her ears like she can't believe how dumb her Master is]
In any case -- as you've talked to more than I have currently, is there any you wish me to cast my net out for?
[I can't fuckin believe she's offering to fuck someone on Junpei's behalf like it's no big deal]
no subject
Well. Uh. [He's not that dumb though because he gets that implication and he blinks at her again.] I mean not right now, no. I'm still learning about the people here and seeing who might be the best to align ourselves with.
[But. Oh.] Have you talked to Zero recently?
no subject
[She's just. Not gonna bother actually moving from his chest unless he just pushes her off. Sorry she's comfy]
I've yet to learn of any particular details... no doubt because we are natural enemies and likely won't get along.
no subject

[Her tails flick behind her in mock agitation]
Are you insinuating that I should try to bed her as well, hmmmm?
[...]
Or perhaps Master would like to try his hand at that~
[Mmmm DANGER]

[Tamamo when she's amused is one thing; it's another entirely when she is being serious. Something seems to have prompted the latter, and while she doesn't move, she regards him carefully]
Do you plan on sleeping with anyone here?
no subject
No. It's not in the plans for me. Not unless it's necessary to get us out of here faster.
no subject
... But that is a line she does not think needs to be crossed so soon. There are secrets to every partnership, including one as new as theirs.]
Very well.
[Leaning off of him at last, lounging back against her arm]
You've proven yourself useful to me already; I don't mind accepting some of the burden in this regard.
no subject
...don't burden yourself too much. But if you decide to...I'm okay with it. [It's not so much permission as an addendum to their contract.] I've never really used sex to gain information, but if that's a possibility...we should think about it.
