Obviously I don't drive like this when I'm not small.

[There's a shit-eating grin on his face as he glances over, and it's probably obvious what he's about to say before he even says it. Sorry, Ardyn, he's definitely having fun at your expense here...]

I can actually drift in my car.

[god dante you are an ass of the highest degree

HE SCOFFS AT THAT REMARK, hand reaching up once more to adjust his hat.]

You're on the fast track to dying exceedingly young at this rate. Would you like an adult to lecture you on just how reckless that is?

[darkinferno]

[HAS HE EVER PROFESSED TO BE ANYTHING ELSE? I think not]

You know, when I made that dad crack, I wasn't being serious! How many lectures have you threatened me with now? Two? Three?

Besides, I don't drift inside the city limits.

[Beat.]

Before midnight.

[daemonized]

And I will continue to threaten you with my lectures. It's my civic duty, as a responsible adult.

[SERIOUSLY THO]

Honestly, the recklessness of youth is utterly mind-blowing.

[darkinferno]

[A snort as he rolls his eyes.]

See if I ever give you a ride again. Here I am being innovative and coming up with good solutions and all I get is shit.

Besides, who decided you're a responsible adult? I demand credentials; I don't believe it.

[daemonized]

And exactly what is that supposed to mean, hm?

[He'd take offense to that! ...If he were any other man than Ardyn Izunia.]

I'm utterly surrounded by proof of my responsible adulthood. Surely that much is obvious to you.

[darkinferno]

[Yeah, Dante's side-eyeing Ardyn.]

You're being driven in an RC jeep looking like a kid playing dress-up in his father's bathrobe with a bad hat. Is this a trick question?

[daemonized]

[Wow rude?]

And what does that say about you?

[darkinferno]

That I'm a reckless young man having a bit of fun in a shitty situation?

[Come on, you didn't expect him to admit to anything, did you?]

[daemonized]

Overall, correct. Though a bit more simplistic than what I would have said.

[And before you can ask what he was going to say!]

You're a reckless young man who had better learn -- someday soon, hopefully -- that danger and fun can be mutually exclusive.

[darkinferno]

[It's a good thing Ardyn continued, because that absolutely would have been Dante's next question!]

I already know that they can be.

But the things that are the most fun always have a little bit of risk to them too.

[Adrenaline is a powerful rush...]
