[A LONG PAUSE..... for some reason he really wants to keep this close to his chest. Sure, Prompto's his bro, but at the same time... he's pretty sure that Prompto will be pumped for him, and Dante's not entirely sure how he feels about this whole revelation. What if he meets Dylan and it turns out the two of them are different as water and oil? What if things don't work out as well for the two of them as they did for Prompto and Cloud? His luck with family has never been great, so why should things start now?

But Prompto is his brother. And he's trying not to make the same mistakes the other him did, pushing other people away. So...]

don't get all excited about it or anything, i don't know how this is gonna end up but

i'm pretty sure he's my brother

[mercurio]

[not getting excited because dante asked, but he totally made a super surprised noise irl and nearly dropped his phone]

you have a bro?

[darkinferno]

[THANK U PROM you're a true friend]

yeah, a twin

i don't remember anything about him though, our folks split when we were three and that was the last time i saw him or our mom

his name was dylan, our mom's name was lena walker so the pieces fit

i just don't know why he's looking me up NOW

[mercurio]

if he's arrived in recolle and has the retrospec app and saw you on the contacts list then that gives room for pause?
maybe he wants to reconnect and doesn't know how to go about it

[darkinferno]

i don't know

maybe

pen knows where he's staying tonight, maybe i'll try and track him down

[mercurio]

you sure you wanna do that

[darkinferno]

not really

but what CAN i do? either i sit around waiting until he gets the dirt he's looking for somewhere or i go call him out and see what this is all about and get some answers

neither option's really that appealing

[mercurio]

you wanna see our conversation?

[darkinferno]

yeah sure, cleo sent me some screencaps of the messages he sent her too. it didn't seem like he got very far with her

[mercurio]

[he sends a bunch of screencaps]

whaddya think

[darkinferno]

that apparently he needs socializing lessons if he thought he was gonna get anything out of anyone that way

good use of the fire story though, i liked it. the timing was good

[Dante... stop beating around the bush.]

[mercurio]

yeah i think i handled it really well
anything else?
