ascendedverses | Starter for Dante

"Eh, you'd be surprised" He shrugged. At least Dante wasn't 𝙖𝙨 broke as a joke. There were a lot of times of struggle. Most of it inflicted by himself, the admitted to himself.

He smirks slightly, his eyes catching hers.

As they make eye contact, Poison sips from her drink again before letting out a small laugh.

"What? Somethin' on my face?"

"Hey now. It's my turn to admire you just as much as you've been admiring me"

This makes Poison giggle.

"Alright, then. Go for it, handsome."

Dante was about to say something but frowns as a few rode patrons amble in from out where the band was. He'd roll his eyes a bit.

"Oh yeah, we were gonna peek on that band" jerking a thumb over his shoulder.

"Hm? Sounds like a good idea to me. I love a good band!"

She laughs a bit, finishing the last of her drink and setting the glass down.

"Here's hopin' they don't turn into demons on us."

"Heh, don't curse us like that. We're here for a good time~"

Although that to Dante sounded like it was a good time, however...

Heading out with her, he brushed his hair from his eyes.

"I know, I know. Gal's just gotta keep her wits about her, y'know?"

Poison laughs, walking out with Dante while locking arms with him again.

A chuckle issuing from him. Keeping the woman at a comfortable closeness, it seemed that all the patrons where having a good time. Several chatting excitedly to one another while others were enamored with the music.

As they pass by several other people, Poison takes notice of a few rough looking types nearby. She rolls her eyes with a brief exhale.

"The vibe here kinda takes me back to my Mad Gear days... Wasn't always great, but I made it work."

"That kinda lifestyle can be rough, but there's a certian charm to it you can see later in life"

"Speakin' from experience, Dante?"

She smiles, feeling reassured. "Though you seem tough enough to not need a gang or anything."

"Hah, maybe" a wink.

"Nahh, I have some people I uh...run with I guess. I never had a huge group of people around me until recently. I never thought about having anyone all that close to me due to uh, work and all. Also no one could really handle my lifestyle" a small laugh and a shake of his head.

"With a job like yours, havin' some allies sounds like a damn good idea. At least I can rest easy knowin' you aren't always by yourself fightin' those freaks."

Returning his wink, Poison lightly tugs Dante's arm to head towards an area where people were dancing.

"C'mon! You got rhythm, right?"

"I'm unkillable, don't you worry. Devil's luck~" He'd joke before allowing her to steer him around.

"Something of the sort" He'd hope he wasn't too rusty. But what even classified as dancing nowadays?

Releasing Dante's arm, Poison gets into the groove as the music continues. Swaying her hips, she laughs and throws up her hands as she enjoys herself.

"Not bad!"

He'd boogie down with the brawling beauty, Dante's coat flowing with his movements almost fluid as he did so.

As they dance, Poison trails a finger along Dante's jawline. This was definitely a much better night than she was expecting!

A bit of redness there but he'd smirk, keeping those eyes locked on the woman before him.

"Heh. Like riding a bike"

"I knew you'd be fine~! I know a good dancer when I see one."

She smirks in return as she continues to dance, wrapping her arms around Dante's shoulders.

He couldn't help but smirk. He's feeling more at ease. Definitely better environment than the bar they met at. He'd keep at a comfortable closeness to her.

"Not bad for a...first date. Or uh- half date, considering" Dante shrugs

Poison smiles at Dante's words.

"I think first date sounds about right. Been a while since I liked a guy for somethin' beyond bein' handsome."

She leans in, giving Dante a light peck on the lips.

Dante was a bit flustered at the kiss, but he'd accept it rather graciously. A bright smile on his face.

"What's the plan after the concert? My night's free."

She continues to move to the rhythm of the music, although slowly to keep her attention on Dante.

"Hah, I was about to say the same honestly!" He gave a bit of a shrug as more and more people filed in around them at a comfortable distance.

"I didn't imagine the night to wind up this way-but I'm glad it did!"
