This is a Kankuro.

This is a Kankuro looking highly upset by the fact he's even here at some frumpy-ass party, but he's actually looking nice for once wearing a black haori and hakama pants, hat missing and face paint also missing. He looks relatively... normal, for once.

The only sign that this is, in fact him, is that Joruri the Pyroar is walking at his side, tufted tail still carrying that damned ribbon from when she was nothing more than a tiny Litleo.

[unbroken_chain]

It took Kotoha a while to get ready - the hair was especially tricky - but she's all set now. All that's left is to find Kankuro!

As she steps out into the ballroom, she automatically starts looking for Joruri and comes to a halt as she sees Kankuro without the facepaint for the very first time.

Oh no he's hot

[bunraku]

Like her, he's looking for her, knowing full well he doesn't do well in these situations when left to his own devices. Suna didn't do this kind of nonsense and he wasn't especially the person that went undercover for missions, either.

Joruri is the one to point her out to him first, headbutting his hip almost immediately after she spots her. Kankuro lightly pats her head before turning his attention to where she's indicating, stopping straight in his tracks.

Oh god, she has tits.

What is this nonsense? Well, he knows girls do, but he didn't really expect that.

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha probably would have spent a little longer being stunned if Kankuro hadn't just as obviously been taken aback. There's a slight pause as she processes what could have caused that to happen - the dress, while nice, was unlikely to...oh. Wait.

This is the first time he's seen her in anything that shows cleavage.

Internally, she's grinning, but she manages to keep it off her face as she glides over to the ninja and his lioness, dropping into a curtsey as she reaches him, providing a nearly overhead view of her cleavage.

"Well, you certainly clean up nicely. I almost didn't recognize you without all that makeup on."

This is gonna be fun.

[bunraku]

Inwardly he was already groaning at her attempts, knowing full well that that full view of her cleavage was to get him to stare and drool. Even if he, inwardly, was already doing such. He was male, what could he do to change that?

Covering up the hint of pink dusting his cheeks he turns his attention to Joruri who merely stares back at him with a curious look on her face.

"Yeah, well, it's not often that I go without the paint. When you look so much like your goddamned father, you do what you can to fix that." Especially when the guy was a right bastard, but that was neither here nor there for the most part.

"Or if you look like every other shinobi in the village, need to be able to tell the corpse from the others."

Aaaaand that probably just killed the mood. Good job.

[unbroken_chain]

...wow. Wow.

Kotoha's going to just spend a few moments staring at Kankuro.

"You're terrible at flirting, you know that?"

[bunraku]

And he's going to sputter at her words, immediately going on the defensive.

"'m not trying to flirt with anyone!" He snaps, already blushing a deep crimson red as he looks away from her, huffing in response.

Or, well, he just hasn't the foggiest how to do this whole flirting thing anyway. It's not like he was the diplomatic one in the family and he certainly wasn't the one all the girls were going after.

[unbroken_chain]

"I was, though. Man, you're worse at this than my last girlfriend."

A slight pause, accompanied by the sounds of her skirt rustling.

"Anyway, come on and dance with me, will you?"

[bunraku]

Wait, back up. She was flirting with him?

Blinking at her a few times he takes a deep breath, managing a slightly nervous smile before gently reaching for her hand. He's not good at dancing, but he can certainly try, it wasn't a necessary thing for him to learn.

"Flirtin' with me? Now why the hell would you do that?" He questioned, voice trying to use jokes to hide the nervousness there instead.

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha shoots him a sly grin.

"Well, now that I know what you look like under all your manly warpaint, you've made the leap from 'good friend' to 'boyfriend material'."

[bunraku]

Boyfriend material? This girl is ridiculously blunt the longer he hangs around her and he's not entirely sure if that's a good or bad thing.

"Temari would kill ya for that, you know," he mutters under his breath, knowing full well that pretty much every girl would have to go under her scrutiny back home. But he wasn't at home so this was... well, he was allowed to date being his age, wasn't he?

[unbroken_chain]

"Unless Temari is the man-eating dragon god of ice and snow or the physical incarnation of humanity's negative desires, I can cope."

Kotoha pauses for a moment before continuing.

"Fun party game: guess which of those two is an actual Pokemon!"

She'll just keep the dance going while you figure it out, Kankuro.

[bunraku]

"More like older sister that can and will beat the living shit out of someone for looking at her the wrong way." And who is overbearingly protective of him since she took on the mom role, but that's an entirely different story.

He pauses for but a moment at the party game, frowning at her soon after. "What if I don't want to play it?"

How he's managing to not step all over her toes is anyone's guess.

[unbroken_chain]

Hmm. Older sister. She can deal!

"Well, I guess I'll just have to tell you, then. It's the first one."

As for her toes, well...it probably looks a little weird, but Kotoha is the one leading here.

[bunraku]

If only she knew how much of a dragon she really was. But her loss.

"Somehow I'm not all together surprised," he returns, quite happily letting her lead since hell if he knows what he's even doing.

"You have any siblings?"

[unbroken_chain]

"Closest I've got is Hugh, and he's just a childhood friend."
