[To say Dante's on edge would be an understatement. It's only a few days into the month but he's already realized how dangerous this fog can really be--he still doesn't understand 100% what it was that he ran into when he'd found Derek in the middle of the street, but he remembers the way the thing had felt, the way it had seemed to suck out any happiness that might have existed inside of him. The way it had dragged up all the memories he tries so hard to forget, the way it all came cascading back...
He's not going to be taken off-guard again. Dante's got his hackles raised as he wanders the city, sticking close to the shadows. He doesn't carry his sword openly, not yet, but he's ready to summon it in an instant if need be, and his hood is up, his eyes blindfolded. He's still learning how to use this new power he's discovered, and right now, wandering the city, is one of the best times in his opinion to practice. If necessary, he can always rip it off, and in the meantime he's learning to trust this new sense of his as he moves.
It's when he "sees" someone else before him that he stops, instinctively taking a defensive stance, hand at the ready. He doesn't speak... he just waits to see what this other person will do. But if there seems to be anything hostile in their movement, he's ready to defend himself.]
vera; we were sitting with our backs against the world
