Woah!

[ Such power! She pulled that out with 0 shame whatsoever. ]

I respect your gift for grift! I'd take it but... I don't think I even have 50 cents, let alone any gold. Gald? [ He just put down a mortgage. Shit would she know what that was? How would he explain, he doesn't even get it himself. ]

Can I get you an IOU?

[shivmeabreak]

[Strike fast and without detection! That's the best business tactic for a quick sale!]

Eh, no worries there. I just thought I'd see if you had anything to trade. But consider this a gift on the house. [She quickly folds up the jumbo shirt and offers it to him.]

You were looking for advice after all, not some magic cure-all. But somehow I think you-- er, your friend might have the ability to play havoc on my creation anyway, it could be worth a try. Good luck to him with wiggling into it with his sister, though! That's the hard part.

[ Strike fast... He'll try to remember that next time he's threatening Enzo to cough up cash for his next hunt. ]

Trade... I've got a ton of demon blood. Looks like little red orbs, but it's not much use as currency outside of selling stuff to demons.

Heyo, but I'll tell my buddy to lay in ambush! I...he'll strike when his sister is least expecting it. Should be some fun, even if he gets stabbed.

special item obtained!

[shivmeabreak]

[Now that piques her curiosity and gets her hovering nearer, leaning this way and that to try sneaking a peek at the item he mentions.]

Demon blood? Like actual real demons? There's bound to be some use for the things, even if it's just a collectible. [Just about anything rare can be made to seem valuable.]

Ooo, good idea! He can get the drop on her and use it like a net! [A pause as she finally stops nosing around to look at him.] Though I don't think getting stabbed is such a hot idea?

[maycry]

[ Dante is going to pretend he's not secretly super pleased to have a cute girl hovering over him. God he's so cool and unaffected by this. ]

Think so? I mean, here. Have some. [ He'll just open up a palm and hold out a few orbs that look like screaming human faces. Fun. ]

Are demons not real common in your parts? I hunt them, so you shouldn't worry to much about me getting stabbed. I'm tough.

[shivmeabreak]

[Well that's totally not what she was expecting when he said "orbs." Rose thought they'd be simple round jewels that could be easy to peddle to the upper classes. These though? They're so much cooler. What do you want from a girl with skulls on her jacket buttons?]

Wow, they really do look like they came from demons! You sure you don't mind me having them? [She takes the orbs in both hands, admiring their color and all the detail in the expressions.]

Nope! Not strictly demons like from mythology. There's hellions that are kind of demonic, but those are just people or animals that have been transformed.

[Hopefully he won't mind that she's a bit of a smart ass, as when he mentions it'd be him getting stabbed, she jabs an elbow at his stomach.]

And here I thought it was for a friend.

[maycry]

Don't they? Don't ask me why they do that, probably somethin' about how the demon world interacts with ours.

[ He never read up on the metaphysical stuff. That's Vergil's thing, Dante likes the part where you kick demons hard enough they explode! ]

Demons possess people and animals to get in though so maybe... Oof! Watch it! [ She is a smart ass. Luckily all interactions Dante has with girls usually end with him getting shot in the head, so this is better then average. ]

Sheesh! Elbow on you - and what could you be implying? [ He holds up his hands in mock surrender, lowering his head with a grin. You got him... ] I don't even have a sister!

[shivmeabreak]

It's pretty cool whatever the reason. I'm happy just having them - not knowing the hows or whys works for me. I probably wouldn't understand it anyway.

[Or she'd fall asleep during the explanation. Either or. Kind of like how she doesn't really care what it takes to make raw meat and vegetables into food, she just wants to eat!]

Oh? That's pretty damn slick of them to try that. I'll have to keep an eye out for anyone acting suitably demonic, huh. [Said in a teasing manner as she figures that any demon worth their salt wouldn't be so obvious about what they are.]

Hehe, don't worry, I won't spill your secret to anybody. Though I do hope you can do something about this pesky brother of yours. It's not good for family to be fighting if they don't have to. If you can, you should treasure them. [No more elbows this time, though she does prod his abs with a finger to hammer home her point.]

[maycry]

Ow ow ow.

[ She's trying to kill him! Or tickle him! ]

He's a dipshit not worth anyone's time. If I'm cool, charming and blessed with a wonderful set of bangs, my brothers the total opposite!

[ He puts a hand on her head and pushes her back gently. ]

It sounds like you're a lot luckier then me if you've got family you can treasure. How're they?

[shivmeabreak]

C'mon, you can handle a little prodding!

[Not that she forces the issue, instead allowing herself to be steered away from him. She might be a bit of a brat but she does have respect for other people.]

Have you ever thought that maybe it's because you're all that and a bag of chips that's why he fights with you? Maybe he's jealous.

[Not knowing the guy, all she can do is speculate as to what his reasons are for fighting with his own brother.]

Well, I don't have any blood relations but I do have my merchant guild who are like family. They're a ragtag bunch who look out for one another and enjoy a good party. I'm sure they'd love to meet you!
