[ Haha, real funny. It's not like he already has a head of white hair.
Dante chases the magazine as far as the edge of desk before slumping back into the chair, arms crossed and scowl upon his face. Thanks you little shit, he had been having a perfect dream until you came along. He leans back, feet kicking off an empty pizza box of the desk to rest his feet up once again. ]
Yeah, on a job. [ Something he is both annoyed and grateful for. Part of him would rather be on a job than manning the fort, but another part of him would rather not be nagged for the umpteenth time about the state of the shop. Their current hassle crusade. ] What about Nico?
[Congrats at looking like a bit of a child, though Nero keeps that to himself, snorting back something of a laugh. It takes a moment, but he tosses the magazine back at the desk, just so Dante has something to cover his eyes with.] What, they ground you for something?
[At the mention of Nico, though? He lets out an aggravated sigh.] Considering she's putting me on blast for nearly breaking a prototype, she's busy. [It's not his fault she left it out and a group of demons almost ransacked the van. Nero had to take care of them, obviously. Shit happens, she'll cool off eventually.]
[ That's a win for Dante. The scowl changes for a grin as he catches the magazine, tossing it onto a empty spot on the desk. Later he'll cover his face when his nephew isn't demanding attention and leaves him to sleep in peace. ]
Something like that. [ A dismissive wave. ] They made it real clear they didn't need any help with this one.
[ The subject change makes him grin, tilting his head to the side to get a better look at Nero. ] Ah, you got grounded too huh? [ Banned from the van, banned from a job, aren't they a pair. ] She'll cool down eventually, though it's probably a good idea to steer clear for a while.
Sounds like a day that ends in y. [Nero makes it easier for Dante to at least catch the snort as he speaks. Whether his comment is on Dante being bullied or the girls doing what they want, it's hard to say. It might just be both.] Gotta be rough.
[He huffs at that, though. God, Dante, he's not a kid!!!! It's not a grounding!!!] Yeah, well- I'd rather not get my ass run over the next time she sees me.
[No, it's absolutely a grounding and he knows it is, but he's also stubborn. Isn't that familiar?]
[ Dante snorts, shaking his head. Nico sounds just as bad as Lady, it isn't surprising they get along so well. ]
Not as rough as being kicked out of my own van.
[ Come one, it's totally being grounded. Worse even. ]
So, [ He leans back in the chair, floor boards creaking as he does so. ] Why did you come here for? No where else to go? Or did you really want to come visit little old me?
Pretty sure she can do worse. [ Don’t tempt fate, man, Nico could hound his ass even worse, and Nero definitely doesn’t want that.]
Don’t flatter yourself. [He scoffs and rolls his eyes just a little at that. Yeah, it’s bad, but he’ll live with it!! He’s not as bad as Dante in terms of debt or reputation.] I figured trouble had to be out somewhere- I’m just surprised it’s not here with you.
