I'm not dancing around anything. I'm just having trouble seeing why you think someone wouldn't raise eyebrows at a story that found you traipsing around any sort of red light district.

[Now he's just exaggerating to be difficult.]

[darkinferno]

prof you've MET me

if anyone's surprised to hear that i've been there they don't know me very well and if they don't they'll figure it out fast enough

and i never said that people KNEW i was going there, it wasn't exactly something i asked permission about

[daemonized]

[Time to delve into LOGIC.]

Dante, there are a lot of things that you do that don't necessarily /surprise/ me. That does not mean that I don't still worry.

[darkinferno]

[SHAKING HIS HEAD???? He doesn't get this. It's not even that he's intentionally trying not to--he just can't wrap his head around the idea that Ardyn might be concerned about the trouble he's gotten up to in his past. It's over now, right?]

that's pretty weird prof

but if you say so

[daemonized]

I think we've reached an impasse when it comes to understanding. Simply accept my concern for you, Dante, everlasting as it will be.

1/3

[darkinferno]

it's not like i've got any other choice, is it?

[As always, there's no real bite to the text. Ardyn's so weird, but he wouldn't have it any other way...

The second half of it comes a few moments later, delayed. It's still hard for him to be genuine sometimes, okay?]

thanks

for looking out for me

accidental; a little while later

[darkinferno]

[This isn't quite a misfire--this is Dante opening his text app to send someone else a message and forgetting that he'd texted Ardyn last.]

hey im not gonna make it tonight i jacked my arm up again rain check

[darkinferno]

shit ignore that wrong person

[daemonized]

[SO ABOUT THAT WHOLE PERPETUALLY WORRYING ABOUT DANTE THING...]

What did you do?

[darkinferno]

nothing

you saw me monday im fine

[daemonized]

[Or he could just throw Dante's words back at him.]

"i jacked my arm up again rain check"

[darkinferno]

yeah so what maybe i hadnt told him yet anything had happened

[dante being defensive isn't going to help your case

(not to mention the fact that does Ardyn even know in the first place? He's not realizing that part)]

[daemonized]

Dante, I don't understand why you seem so adamant to hide things from me, when it's more than obvious that /something/ has happened. Just tell me.

[That's right, being defensive does absolutely nothing to make Ardyn back off.]

[darkinferno]

because i know what your reaction will be and the answers no

[One of these days Ardyn won't have to argue him down and back him into a corner first.

One day.]

i did something stupid last night and i wasnt wearing the cast

i think i made the break worse

[daemonized]

And why is the answer immediately no? I've recovered enough to take on an injury or two, Dante. Especially if it's something as bad as that.

What was this "stupid" thing you did?

[darkinferno]

because you dont need to feel it grell made me go to the hospital when it first happened itll be suspicious if its completely healed three days later

[What's punctuation? Something that involves maneuvering over to the other keyboard, that's what.]

i guess grell already found out anyway

i held a guy off a roof by his ankles

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

1/2

[daemonized]

[Ardyn has no difficulties deciphering this. He's used to terrible grammar and sentence structure over text; it's the burden he lives with.]

Then keep your cast on it. Simple as that. No one needs to know right away that it's been healed fully.

[You know how stubborn Ardyn can be about this, sorry Dante.]

[daemonized]

[also sorry but what.]

/Why/ did you do this, exactly?

[darkinferno]

there are other people that can heal souji healed it after it first happened

[They're both stubborn, honestly.]

its a long story and im only typing w one hand right now

look up ayano on the network and the stuff shes posted it was the guy that punched her as hard as he could he admitted to it before i did it

[daemonized]

[All right. What if he just calls you now, Dante.

Ring ring.]

[darkinferno]

[STARES AT PHONE... but Ardyn already knows he's there, so it's not like he's got any excuse to ignore it.]

You're just as bad as she is. No wonder you two got together.

[daemonized]

[That seems to confuse him for a second. Way to derail.]

What are you talking about?

[darkinferno]

Grell. I tried to text Togusa and half of it got sent to her.

She called me too.

[Maybe if you weren't trying to be cagey, Dante......]

[daemonized]

I see. In that case, it's probably because you weren't answering in a direct enough manner over text.

[Look how easily he sweeps that away, like the unimportant detail that it is.]

But more importantly, tell me what happened.

[darkinferno]

[He's not wrong.

Dante sighs, but it's not like he doesn't have the time, considering he's walking over to Togusa's at the moment.]

It's a long story, but okay.

There's this girl on the network; she's one of the new ones. I think she thought it was all a game at first. She was talking about becoming a hero and superpowers and rivals... anyway, this guy I know was a pretty big dick to her. He kept trying to convince her nobody cared about her, calling her worthless and getting more and more pissed off when it didn't work. Especially when she decided that meant he was supposed to be her rival.

I still don't know everything that happened next, but yesterday she posted on the network looking for advice on how to hide a black eye. She tried to say she'd run into something, but I've seen enough fights to know someone punched her.

It took a little bit, but I got her to tell me she'd been arguing with someone about whether they were a bad person or not. She tried to call his bluff by daring him to punch her as hard as he could. [Ardyn might be able to hear the shrug in his voice as he says:] He did.

I've known the guy for a while. Trying to talk to him normally doesn't get the point across. So when he admitted to it, I had to resort to tougher tactics to try and get it through his thick skull that he's a dumbass.
