Immediate inflation. Feathers on end. He didn't even apparently realize he was doing it. "Ahaha. Thank you for your hospitality, I-" and his voice increased slightly in pitch. "Didn't realize I was speaking to the host of the evening! It's, ah. Lovely to. Meet you." Guest. Host. Beelzebub? This was not what he expected. At all.
She asked a question. What was the question?? "Forgive me I didn't exactly- ah. Hear what you said."
"Don't be scared! We're all friendly here," Bee giggled, a bit awkwardly. Whoopsie, had she gone a little overboard with the intimidation tactics with the Sinner a minute ago??
"What's your favorite snack, feathers? I've gotchu."
"Scared isn't... exactly the word, I've just... never been to a party quite like this one and this isn't at all what I was expecting." Question. Favorite snack. You look like an idiot. Don't think about the Persona because that's not likely to win you points. Do not think about the Persona. Fuck-
He cleared his throat. "Truth be told, I'm not sure what's available, but if you're offering I'm willing to try anything you can recommend."
"Hmmmm... what's the right vibe for tonight..." Bee pondered aloud, thinking for a beat. "Something savory-sweet I think. We're getting a little more toothy tonight, flavor-wise..."
Snapping her fingers, she smiled as she decided and summoned a platter of bacon pancakes. "There we go! Go ham on it, feathers, and have fun!"
An eye twitched. Clearly, this was a cosmic joke at his expense. And yet, there was no possible way she could've known. God dammit.
"To be honest with you, I don't think this... kind of party's for me. But I'm told that getting out and being around people in general is good for me, and the welcome is appreciated, just the same."
Polite. Uptight. Bee scoffs a slight laugh, but restrains herself from any comment.
"Still coming out of the cocoon, not quite a social butterfly yet, hmm? Here, take this, it'll help ease the tension," she assured with a wink, summoning and passing him a nice, cold bottle of beezeljuice. "Sweet as sweet can be, a little gift from your Queen Bee~"
She'll pass the pancakes to someone else, buzzing off to meet and greet and get more people absolutely fucked up in a food coma or blisteringly drunk.
