Philip glanced up at her, blinking for a moment before grinning and turning back to Jones. "Bustopher Jones, lovely cat from St. James' Street, meet my dear Bombalurina Piper."
Well, she at least was pretty enough to look at, Jones though, forcing a sickly sweet smile on his face. "Ah, yes, lovely to meet you."

Inwardly wincing in emotional-trauma, she managed a passably pleasant, simmery smirk. Curling her figure somewhat in her stance, she managed to use Phil's arm as a good wall to fake attraction. Bile threatening her throat if she continued, she managed to lock the rounder-tom's eye, flashing a grin.
"Charming...Its a shame we haven't met before, but I'm afraid I'm new in town and don't know anyone important as of yet." Bombi knew how these sorts liked to think, and she supposed a particular brand of female flattery would fair well with the....blob.

Jones arched a brow, looking her over again. "New to town are you?" he asked, finally dragging his eyes back up to her face. "Lovely then. And how do you like our town so far?"

Bombalurina's dignity threw up somewhere in her subconcious, a shudder of disgust running up the back of her spine, but she held her ground.
"Its...well, the only big events I've seen in town so far was The New Year's Ball at....some hotel." She fluttered her eyelashes, tilting her head in an imitation of naivity, red hair spilling over one shoulder. "I'm afraid I haven't been to anything more of worth, haven't had much of the chance." The scarlet queen flashed another sparkling grin, hiding her twitching eye. She didn't think she could hate 'debutantes' more, but acting as one made it all the more....she wasn't sure what, only that she'd be scrubbing herself raw sometime later tonight.

Philip forced his face to remain neutral at that, though he was tempted to react... and probably in a bad way.
Jones' brows rose and then a slow, self-satisfied smirk settled onto his features. "That hotel would not happen to be the Demoniaque would it?" he asked, voice sickly sweet again.

"Ah," She snapped a paw, letting a pretty, tinkling laugh sound, "That was it, see, I'm just so awful with names; luckily someone isn't."
A little ego petting never hurt, she thought briefly, full lips in a similarly slick smile toward him. "I didn't notice you there, however..." Bombalurina mentioned, feighning a disheartened air fairly easily.

Philip snapped his gaze over to Piper and back to the other in front of him in half a moment.
For a long moment it looked like Jones wasn't entirely sure how to react to that statement, fluctuating between flattered and offended and furious. "I had better things to do with my time," he finally sniffed.
For a second it looked like Philip's eyes were about to pop out of his head before he quickly masked the expression, turning down to his pad and scribbling something quickly.

Bombalurina nodded, sensing some mild displeasure from the larger tom, quickly adopting her expression to looking as if she knew exactly what he meant, uncurling herself from Philip's arm enough to wander over to Jones and beam up at him from his side.
"I couldn't agree more - the whole event was so...passe" The scarlet queen eyed his reaction, her expression adopted based on what she though he might agree with. "In fact...I left before they rung in the New Year...It was disappointing that it was my first event in Felidae." Bombi gave a standard, society-brand eye roll to match, a gentle sigh escaping her lips.

Jones smoothed down his headfur at that, giving her a slow smile. "Yes, well, it's hardly your fault--You can't be expected to account for taste if you are new in town."
Philip blinked a couple times, leaning back in his seat, considering the pair.

Bombalurina shot Philip a subtle glance as she moved around to Bustopher's other side, gathering her wits some.
"Well, if there are any tasteful functions on the horizon, I hope you would let me know," The scarlet queen smoothed somewhat, tail flickering some as she returned to Philip's arm. "Afterall, Phil's the only friend I've managed to make here so-Oh! Phil, here," She bent down, passing him her camera with a wink, "Why don't you take our picture?" Bombi moved around to Bustopher's side again, coiling her arm through heres and suggesting for Phil to take a picture of Jones whilst subtly cutting her out.

Philip blinked at the camera, and up at her, in slight confusion. It wasn't like he didn't know how to use a camera, but he wasn't entirely sure what she was thinking. Mentally he shrugged, taking the shot, keeping both of them in it. That was what editing was for.
Jones scowled at Philip, though he managed to plaster a pleased expression on his face for the actual photo, before looking back at the queen. "Yes, well, sadly most of the events for the season are over, but if you keep in touch I shall be sure to let you know when next a tasteful function shall appear on the horizon."

Bombalurina smiled throughout the photo, grinning brightly, if fakely to the flash. She turned to Bustopher afterwards, looking coy but cool.
"I will be sure to...Mr. Jones." The scarlet queen flickered her tail warmly in her wake, returning to Philip's side.
"Phil, why don't you introduce me to some of your other friends...?" She glanced at Phil, somewhat pleadingly to leave Jones' side, his scent rather sickening after spending too long around it.

Philip sighed at little and nodded. "Yes, of course," he said, rising. "I'm sure I'll see you around, Bustopher."
It was a little hard to tell whether Jones was smiling or grimacing in reply. "Of course, Hunt."

Bombalurina kissed the air gently in a smooth goodbye, waggling her fingers as she allowed Phil to lead her away from the detestable Bustopher.

Philip sighed at they walked away. "Well that was quite the display," he said, nodding to one of his more usual contacts.
