[ A clean plate in his place--No, that's fine. Honestly all plates start off clean until the fun happens.

Just curious? An interview, is it? For what? Or... ]

Oh, a test?

[ Dante takes another bite of his own taquito as he rounds his desk. It's not the messiest piece of furniture in the area with a large plush leather-backed chair that's seen better days. But it's worn in all the right places and Dante did his best to recreate every perfect imperfection. ]

I'll have you know I was proudly middle-of-the-road in primary school.

[ No star scholar here. That was always going to be Ver--

He pauses.

Ah. Nero talking about Vergil? Now that's way more curious. Dante plops down in his chair, ready to hear what disparaging remarks Nero may have made when instead Wanda offers a comparison he hadn't expected. There isn't a lot that phases Dante or catches him off guard, but he does blink then.

No jokes on this one. She delivers it easily, but the cut of losing your twin is all too real. Dante purses his lips for a second before he reclines a bit more in his chair. ]

Ah...never easy to lose family.

[ Probably the most serious he's sounded since they met months ago. ]

I'm sorry to hear that. Being a twin's a little different.

[there's a cut-through tone that is familiar to her because she has taken it, in the same way that dante, too, takes now. the talk about losing family, of what it means to be a twin and no longer consider yourself one, for your other half is lost forever.

she squints her eyes at him for a moment, then traces her gaze down onto her hands at her lap.]

It sounds to me like you know what that's like.

[sure, she is digging a little, but she opened up with her own vulnerability first. it's an equal exchange, of sorts.]
