[There's a pause though, as he kind of just stares at her now, like as if he's actually regarding her more closely now in consideration of something.]
You do realize that I can't actually walk around outside looking like this, right?
[He would have to go back to being human Tsuchi size and appearance when leaving the school. This "date" she wants might end up being rather boring for her in that regard...]
[That gets a blink, and then... a sudden burst of laughter.]
I'll give you this, you're pretty confident for a human! Can't say I remember the last time I spoke to one that was this determined for company with yours truly...
[It's still definitely awkward, sure, but if he can get some entertainment out of this... then maybe it wouldn't be too bad to give this a shot...]
[Give or take about fifteen to twenty minutes to take care of things, Tsuchigomori reappears at the entrance as well. He's reverted back to "human" form, extra appendages and other more inhuman features hidden once more. He adjusts his glasses as he seals away the 4pm Bookstacks out of sight so that he doesn't have to worry about any other humans finding it while he's away, before he turns his attention to Evangeline once more.]
Alright, I'm ready to leave now when you are... ah, you might have to be the one to lead the way to our destination, as I don't leave very often to go places outside the school, other than for required parent-teacher home visits.
[Thankfully, he is not bringing back The Voice... although, it would be really funny if he did it just to mess with her...
Instead, he just shrugs in response to her statement.]
As a supernatural rumorbound to the school, I don't usually get to have a lot of reasons to go anywhere other than what is required of me... but you're right, it is a nice town from what I've been able to see of it over the years.
Oh, nigiri is a good choice. I'm also fond of maki rolls myself sometimes, so hopefully this place has a good selection of those as well.
[The sushi he does usually get is takeout delivery, so this will certainly be nice getting to go to an actual place to sit down and eat it at by comparison. It doesn't take long at all to find a table and seat for them both, as well as to put in their respective orders and drinks.
While they wait, once they are alone and able to talk--]
I assume that you have questions you want to ask me, but first, there's actually something I want to ask you: earlier, you told me that I'm not the first "monster" that you've met before. I'd like to hear more about that, if you don't mind.
Oh, that. Well... Have you heard of The City? I don't know if the rumor has spread this far, but that's where I'm from.
[A city with incredible technology and an even more incredible callousness towards life. They say that it's powered by the energy of captive supernaturals.]
If it's the same one I've heard inklings of, it's enough to know that it's not the kind of place I'd want to be in. I take it then, that you came in contact with one or even multiple supernaturals that were there.
Trust me, absolutely nobody wants to be in there except the rich people. But yeah, I was born and raised there, and I've seen all kinds of supernaturals. Seen plenty of my coworkers killed by them too, so you don't need to tell me how dangerous they can be.
[He gives a little quirk at the mouth as he says, almost sardonic. He knows very well what it's like to become attached to a human, in ways you don't expect to be.]
Regardless, I suppose I cannot fault you for seeing things that way, given the life that you had in the City surrounded by such circumstances.

Oh! Great. How about sushi then?
[Much more reasonably located and affordable!]

[Tsuchigomori pauses for a moment, head tilted as if suddenly listening for something, before he speaks.]
But first, would you mind waiting for me outside? I need a moment to prepare before I can leave the school.

Really? That's a shame. This town is a nice place, it seems a little sad to be cooped up in one school.

Well, of course having fun is a good reason to go out. Hence why we're able to do so here now.
[He even offers a toothy smile.]
Especially now that I have good company to do so with.

[Ah, here they are at the restaurant already.]

Do you already know what you want to order from the menu here?

[There's a pause, as Tsuchi then can't help but raise an eyebrow, folding his hands in front of him here on the table.]
And yet, you're interested in the potential of romantically pursuing a relationship with one anyway?

I don't hate it though. There are definitely perks supernaturals have that no humans can replicate.
