Scarlett
Dante isn’t just a pretty face
Kerra
Darax is struggling not to laugh a lot
Maggie
I don’t get it…Driok did what?
Scarlett
He tried to play Dante at his own game. Dexx also finds it highly amusing
Maggie
And what face does he make when he finds something funny? Is it any different to his usual resting warlord one?
Scarlett
Fuck you, Maggie
Lydia
Does this mean we don’t have to go to Driok’s sector next?
Kerra
You don’t have to go anywhere you don’t want to, hun.
Scarlett
Yes you do. Unless Dalox says otherwise.
You can come to Dante’s sector if you want, Lydia
Kerra
Is that even allowed?
Scarlett
Dexx says yes, but he wouldn’t go. Dante has a reputation…
I consider for a moment whether to disabuse them of Dante’sreputation. But I am both bemused and concerned he hasn’t mentioned what my friends are discussing.
There is a chime at the door, which is most likely Dante, and I leave my comm to answer the door.
He leans against the door frame, his scales glittering, but his eyes have a sadness to them which pierce my soul.
“What’s this about Driok?”
Dante sighs, but he doesn’t enter. He taps the side of his head.
“Driok always believes everyone is hiding things from him.”
“He’s paranoid?”
