Canon is Uchouten Kazoku

[diditallfortanuki]

My, how strange. I thought we had already put the issue to bed. Weren't you the one who said you couldn't handle me? That it would be too hard. What am I going to do with you if you can't even keep your word on something as simple as that, Mr. Mundane?

I'll forgive you this time. After all, I'd rather you play with me. Sitting around doing nothing is hardly interesting. I suppose I'll have to be careful now that I know I can't trust anything you say. Are you another cunning trickster who's come to lead me astray?

Well at least you have experience dealing with those.

[diditallfortanuki]

That's right, isn't it? I've had had quite a lot of experience with mischievous troublemakers. It's a good thing I'm fond of them.

fond of them in a nice sauce?

[buttwarmed]

A good thing for us too. Are you sure he can handle you?

With fava beans and a nice Chianti.

[diditallfortanuki]

But, it's because I like you so much that makes me so sure I'll gobble you up some day. If you weren't so cute, you wouldn't be half as appetizing. As for is anyone can handle me, we'll just have to wait and see about that. Unless, you think you know someone fit for the job.

[buttwarmed]

I don't know if there's anyone that can handle you...or if anyone should. But hey, it's a full...[He looks at the calender]...week and a month until new years.[Oh shit.]

[diditallfortanuki]

You aren't even going to offer to try? How disappointing, you really are such a good for nothing Tanuki. My, how time flies. To think, Jurojin is still fuming over the last new years. I wonder what would happen if he got his hands on you now. Being made into hot pot might be getting off easy.

just stuck on this icon forever with her

[buttwarmed]

Handle you, maybe. Tame you, I don't think anyone could do that. And if he got his hands on me is a pretty big if. You wouldn't sell a guy out, right?

Every image of Benten oozes smarm. I'm pretty sure I could just hit random icon every post.

[diditallfortanuki]

Tame me? Domestication isn't meant for humans. It's for lap pets and livestock. Of course I won't tell, I vouched for you. Even if I was only being deceived and used by a naughty tanuki, it would make me look bad.

[buttwarmed]

I'm not a naughty tanuki. I was acting exactly according to my nature.

[diditallfortanuki]

Maybe you're the one who needs to be tamed, then.

[buttwarmed]

Nah, you like my troublemaking nature. It keeps you from getting bored. [He's playing with fire and he knows it.]

[diditallfortanuki]

I do love the thrill of the hunt, but I can't help thinking you'd make a cute lap pet. You're right, though. I'd get bored after once you were well behaved.

[buttwarmed]

That's why you can play with me but never really catch me.

[diditallfortanuki]

Are you saying I won't catch you or that someday you'll walk willingly into my arms?

[buttwarmed]

Yes.

What is this relationship?

[diditallfortanuki]

[She just smiles wryly.]

A miserable little pile of UST and potential dinner

[buttwarmed]

So, got any Christmas plans?

It's pretty good.

[diditallfortanuki]

Well, I was planning to spend my Christmas with Sensei again this year, but given our current event it seems my schedule has just opened up.

[buttwarmed]

Well, as long as i'm not going to be the Christmas dinner, maybe we should have some drinks. [He will find a way for them to encounter Professor, oh yes he will.]

[diditallfortanuki]

Hmm, I wonder. On your budget, I suppose we'd be sharing a bottle of Electric Brandy? I have to admit that has it's own charm. But, on the other hand, you've never been able to turn down my generosity. I don't think I've ever seen you drink seriously. I hear tanuki's drinking can be quite the sight to behold. I wonder if I'd be able to keep up? [Are you trying to make her being found in another man's arms into a holiday tradition? Leave that dirty old crow tengu out of this.]

[buttwarmed]

It's totally possible you wouldn't be able to. [Potentially free drinks out of this too? Yasaburo's just gonna ignore that this is how his dad got eaten and focus on the keikaku he is keikakuing here. After all, he cares for both Benten and the Professor and he knows they care for each other, although really, sensei should go after women his own age. And the closer he draws Benten towards him and Professor, the more strain on her relationship with the Friday Fellows. So.] We put oni to shame.

[diditallfortanuki]

That's quite a bold statement. If I ever meet an oni, I'll be sure to let him know you said that. [Benten does not want any help connecting further with her kidnapper, father-figure and would-be lover, thank you very much. She has a good thing going with the Friday Fellows. Why you gotta try to make all her relationships as messed up as the rest of her relationships?]
