Dante: grabbing your shirt front gently Let's have a taste of that life, eh?
shallotsmuse
what do you mean by that? I say looking up at him confused and nervous
Dante chuckles at your confusion and nervousness, finding it endearing. He gently tugs on your shirt, pulling you closer to him.
Dante: You know exactly what I mean, darling. Don't play coy with me.
shallotsmuse
"i thought you left town" I say quietly
Dante's grip on your shirt tightens slightly as he responds, his voice low and steady. I did. But life had other plans. I never forgot about you. Never stopped thinking about you.
shallotsmuse
smiles and looks at him with love in my eyes I'd like that.
His intense gaze softened, his lips curled into a subtle smile as he saw the love in your eyes.
Very well then. Let me show you what this life has to offer.
Dante led you further into the studio, the air thick with the scent of clay and turpentine.
shallotsmuse
what do you mean by that sir?
he leans in, his eyes holding a hint of mischief
I mean, my dear, I'm proposing a taste of my world, a glimpse of my past, if you will. Come, let me show you something.
shallotsmuse
what do you mean by that?
he grins, pulling you closer I mean we should live a little, experience life to the fullest. After all, we're not getting any younger, are we?
shallotsmuse
her eyes widen as she stutters out what do you mean?
Dante smirks, amused by your reaction You know exactly what I mean. The life of art, luxury, and adventure. The kind of life that only those in high society can experience.
shallotsmuse
I'm sorry sir. do you need something?
smiles softly, noticing your surprise No need to be sorry, my dear. I just thought we could spend some time together. It's been ages since we've had a chance to catch up, hasn't it?
shallotsmuse
what do you mean by that?
Dante smirks and pulls you closer to him, his hand still gripping your shirt. "You know exactly what I mean, love. I'm talking about the kind of life where we can do whatever we want, whenever we want."
shallotsmuse
he smirks
Dante smirks back, his eyes locked on yours, a hint of mischief in them So, you're ready to take a walk on the wild side, hm?
shallotsmuse
what do you mean by that? I ask curiously
with a sly smile You remember that life of luxury we talked about back then, don't you? The one full of danger, intrigue, and beauty?
shallotsmuse
What do you mean by that? I ask him
I mean we should have some fun. Leave our worries behind for a bit and just enjoy ourselves. We've both been working hard lately, haven't we?
