[mercurio]

wtf
this got heavy all of a sudden
how to react to someone caring?????

[mercurio]

that actually sounds like a decent kind of fight club
i'm still doing it though

[darkinferno]

was that last line supposed to be a google search again

[He may not bring it up much but he certainly remembers all the searches that showed up on the network...]

[darkinferno]

yeah i wasn't exactly expecting the conversation to go there either

it's weird

anyways do you mean you're gonna fight or what, i'm not gonna try and stop you

[uncagedbird]

[Better not...

Ari doesn't actually hear him come in. She has music playing softly from her laptop, something from by Sibelius, and she's just quietly listening to it while sorting her stuff. His greeting is enough to make her drop the shirt she's folding though.]

Ah!

[She laughs it off and goes to hug him, warm and tight.]

Sorry, I was kind of spacing out. How are y--

[It's been a while, but she's pretty sure Dante didn't have silver hair the last time she saw him. She stares up at him, her surprise turning to a blush, until she breathes out two words.]

... oh my.

[mercurio]

blocked

[mercurio]

well you already know i suck at fighting
i might want to learn some tricks here and there you know!

[darkinferno]

[There's a smile on his face as he wraps his arms around her, kissing the top of her head. It's been too long since the last time they saw each other.

However, he doesn't get to hold her for long before she pulls back to look up at him, her expression giving it all away. Dante's smile fades into something a bit more neutral as he reaches up, running a hand through his hair.]

Yeah... I woke up like this this morning. Apparently Retrospec decided they needed to take away blond, too.

[darkinferno]

you forget this is retrospec

blocks don't do shit it'll come right back the next time you look away

[darkinferno]

yeah but i remember you saying you didn't LIKE fighting either

but if you want to learn i'm sure not gonna stop you, with everything going on it's probably a good idea to at least know the basics

[mercurio]

I DON'T NEED THIS APP TO BLOCK YOU FOR ME TO BLOCK YOU!!!

[mercurio]

yeah like you said
nothing wrong with learning the basics
no good to be the only fool who can't keep his feet on the ground when shit hits the fan you know?

[darkinferno]

it's too late

you already let me in your house

you INVITED ME IN

at that moment your fate was sealed

[darkinferno]

i'm pretty sure you wouldn't be the only one

but i'm sure not gonna stop you from learning to fight, maybe the two of us can spar sometimes, it'd be fun

[mercurio]

try anything funny and i'll actually hurt you

[is he serious]

[mercurio]

i'll take revenge for you breaking my nose!
you won't know what hit you

[darkinferno]

define "something funny"

[Come on, Prompto, give him ideas. That won't end poorly at all!]

[darkinferno]

hey i SAID i was sorry for that!

but that offer for a free hit still stands

[mercurio]

don't worry about it, i still remember that!
so when you least expect it... BAM

[mercurio]

like trying to scare me?

[darkinferno]

at least have the decency to WARN me you KNEW it was coming

[darkinferno]

oh so i should throw out the sheet ghost halloween costume and stop practicing the scary "ooooOOOOOooOOOoOOoOoOOOooh"s

got it

[daemonized]

As long as you didn't slip and fall, then I suppose it would be helpful. Of course, you've not very many reasons to go traipsing around buildings in such a manner.

[Right?]

[uncagedbird]

[Ari has to cover her mouth for a moment. She's not... terrified, or anything. But she sure is flustered.]

You're so handsome. You were before, but now you're even more striking.

[She gently twists a bit of his new silver hair around her finger. It doesn't look the same as an elderly person's white hair. It looks like someone spun clouds into silk, and she can't say she dislikes it at all.

She has to think of his comfort, of course. She isn't terribly focused on appearances, not like her mother, but she is conscious of them. She figures that a huge change like this might make him feel... alien.]

I think it suits you, Dante.

[darkinferno]

hey everybody's gotta learn to fly sometime

[That's a minefield and the best way to avoid it is just to not even go into it.]
