[ It’s an evening out for Hugo, since now that he has his sights set on a building he wants to—ahem—obtain, he’s all about flattering the locals to squeeze any money out of them he can. He’s always been a natural at striking up a conversation, so it’s been off to the nicer bars in the evening to see who he can befriend. So far as he sees it, if he doesn’t get an investor, then he’ll at least get a future customer! Advertising and fundraising go hand in hand for this little venture, and when he’s an Augmented that’s easy on the eyes, it’s a lot easier.
…Though, admittedly. He has been trying out something new as of late. Being a Spectral may be something he largely feels negative about, but he’d have to admit, it comes with its fair share of useful powers. As of late, that silver tongue of his has been complimented by a more supernatural pull to win people over.
Not that he’s practicing it when Takasugi finds him. He has his usual of a dark wine, and by all appearances, it actually is reasonable that he might be waiting for someone. He’s alone and casually looking around the place, but he’s been looking for a mark, not— ]
Ah.
[ He at least catches himself from having a question in his tone as he looks to Takasugi, and there’s a little bit of a flinch under his hands, though it’s subdued. Hugo does look surprised for a moment as his mismatched eyes meet Takasugi’s, but it easily becomes a winning smile as he looks to the Patho-Gen escorts. ]
That’s right. It’s just a little date night, so nothing to worry about, gentlemen.
[ He plays along very easily probably more than Takasugi expects. In fact, Hugo immediately gives some petty payback for being put in this situation where he has to play along as he leans in to plant a kiss on Takasugi’s vulpine cheek without any shame whatsoever. The pair definitely recoils at the public affection here, and it could be enough to scare them off… But Hugo’s eyes intensely stay on theirs as they freeze to listen to his Spectral Suggestion. ]
