["I did hear what you heard."

He has to fight to keep from snapping back at Sora, but the scowl slips onto his face regardless. Sure, he might not know what Sora heard, walking through those trees, but he'd heard more then enough to try and persuade him on that he can guess. He'd been tricked too, and having to give up that promise is one of the toughest things he's had to do in a long while. Sora's not the only one hurting here.

But saying that would only invite an argument, and for once, Dante's not up for one. Instead he'll just follow along after Sora, back toward the edge of the forest.

And once they've reached the edge, stepping back into the clear air of the city, Dante will sigh and glance Sora's way, jerking his thumb over his shoulder toward where the RC jeep he's commandeered sits. It's looking a bit ramshackle now with all the mods Dante's done to it, a cover zip-tied over the open framing to keep it relatively dry in the downpour, mini-LEDs clipped to the top rail for some sort of light in dark places, paperclips and bread ties and rubber bands creating a makeshift seatbelt system.]

Look. You want a ride home?

[Don't take it as a sign of friendship. It's just that it's getting dark and pouring down rain and Sora looks pathetic enough with his hair in his face as it is. He's an asshole, he's not heartless.]

[Sora stops walking and looks back at Dante when he speaks. It takes him a moment to register what he's said, and then he takes another to think about the offer. There's no Buck here for him to ride, and it's pouring rain. The sun has already mostly gone, and it'll likely be pitch black by the time he's halfway back to his house.

Honestly, he doesn't have much of a choice but to accept Dante's offer. It's better than walking, anyway.

He nods, and then walks back towards Dante, rubbing his arms slightly for warmth.]

Sure. I'd appreciate it, thanks.
