Jiraiya laughed a bit sheepishly, waving a dismissive hand.
❝ well, let’s just say i’ve been ❛ around the block ❜ a few times, ❞ he said. ❝ but just for you, tonight can definitely be special~ i’m pretty good at commemorating events, if you know what i mean. ❞ he offered a wink &&. a sly grin, though the way he carried himself was almost casual, as if the suggestive flirting were his idea of inciting friendly conversation.
&&. it was. to an extent. a small extent. the concept was more of a safety net in the event of rejection, but that was besides the point.

Even Haku offered the man a smile in return to this statement. Yes, he wasn’t in the best mood to be doing this-- But he may as well play it the best he could. Maybe if he played his cards right, he could get out of this before he had to actually come forward and tell Jiraiya he wasn’t what he assumed him to be.
‘ Around the block, hm? You must have a lot of experience under your belt then-- Right, sir? ‘ He hummed. ‘ And to what event would we be commemorating? ‘
Just keep playing along Haku. Just keep playing along, having a decent conversation, and this will all work itself out.
