Resilient. Highly contagious.


How amusing it is—strangely psychic even—that this young visitor should consider Dante the long-lost half brother of Anawar, for they are in fact related. Long-lost half cousins was a more accurate description. Not that either boys were aware of their shared blood, though. As far as the unknowing were concerned, Atlantis was just a pretty place for the blind to admire.

Dante attempts to assume a more welcoming expression as the mare stepped back from him, a small bud of guilt blossoming in his chest at her hesitant reaction. Reasonably he knew that her uncertainty was not directed at him specifically, but he couldn’t help but feel bad for seemingly scaring her away.

“Don’t,” he replied suddenly, a little more abruptly than he had intended. His voice was still rough and croaky.

He cringed inwardly and quickly stumbled over his words in an effort to reword what he had meant to say. The last thing he wanted was to upset the timid creature any further, but his mind was still foggy and thoughts chaotic after waking up in this bedraggled state after that disturbing dream.

“I mean—you don’t have to go. I don’t mind visitors, honestly.”

He tossed a tangled, ginger forelock out of his eyes and smiled crookedly.

“And you certainly don’t have to call me sir!”

He chuckled, his tone joking but his words quite serious. All too often these days he was getting called ‘sir’; it was far too formal for Dante’s liking, and it made him feel old when he was little more than a baby in the flesh.

Still smiling, he made a feeble attempt to start some kind of conversation without making a complete fool of himself.

“I’m Dante. What’s your name?”

DANTE
a man possessed of some radical notions



OOC: I am so, so sorry about the wait. I don't even have an excuse, I'm just silly. XP
