Dante smiled at Tal's words to him, and hoped she would still use him if necessary. That's what friends were for, and he needed to be there for the individuals he cared about. "I know I am not strong or anything, but my heart grows everyday, so I am sure I could help with any mental that is going on!" When Dante thought about the words he spoke, he realized he was making it sound like Tal was crazy or something. "Er, I mean emotional." he then said, with a timid correction.
At Tal's words about an adventure, Dante tilted his head in wide wonderment. "An adventure, eh? I have never really thought about it. But you know, once I clear some mind dilemmas with family, I think I would really like that." he gave the mare a hopeful grin, before pacing around her in thought. "Where could we go? I bet we would see a lot.." his mind was racing, and he trying to decide right then and there what he wanted to see in the land. "Since you are the expert, I would probably leave the travel stuff up to you." he then concluded, with a hefty nod. "I would definitely get us lost." And there was no doubt about that!
When Dante really thought about it, an adventure would be the best thing for him. "I can't wait to patch things up emotionally with my family, so that I can seriously consider a nice travel." Though, a part of him wondered if he could handle the major detachment.
"You always return here, right?" For some reason, Dante had an anxiety about traveling, since he was used to his father 'never returning home'. I guess my biggest rule would be that we definitely come back!" He sounded like a little kid, and Dante was completely clueless to that fact.

A soft smile befell the face of the mare as he thought about traveling as if it were the greatest thing since the winter's first fall, her tail floating over the ground slowly behind her, an obvious sign of her emotions. Blast it's penchant for giving her away. Nodding softly as she listened to him, she lifted her head almost mock-defensively, before closing her eyes to speak, trying to give a aura of sophisticated offense, jokingly.
"I~ would never get us forever lost, if that's what you worry about, I have a very good sense of direction, thank you kindly!" she stated, before chuckling and opening her left eyes. "Besides, getting lost is the best part of adventure, the uncertainty of where you are makes you feel more alive about everything around you. You see things you'd normally overstep. Like creatures and beautiful flowers. And cliffs. But I won't let you overstep a cliff. It's not that amusing." she stated, before finishing her line of thought. "But I promise you Dante, I have no alternative motive when it comes to bringing you home, I know you're well versed in familiarity, so.. I promise once again, to bring you back when we're done." she finished, before lowering her gaze again.
"Besides, what am I going to do? Lock you in a cave as a slave forever or something? Don't be silly." She joshed, before looking away. "But I'll definitely wait here till you're heart is set from astray. No reason to leave your heart's problems and walk away, you'll never find peace, and I've got nothing better to do beyond waiting."

Dante knew that Tal would never get them lost, but he laughed accordingly at her words. "Well, I suppose I will have to try this 'getting lost' thing, since you speak so highly of it. I probably wouldn't even know we were lost." It was true, Dante was always in such a hustle and rustle everywhere, that he never had the chance to just.. relax in some good scenery. It would most definitely be worth a taste. "There is a lot of land I haven't seen yet, so it would probably be lots of fun."
His thoughts quickly molded into a nod from Tal's other words, and he knew there were many things that had to be done before any kind of fun could be planned. "I do feel awful for making you wait, but if it is what you want to do, I can't stop you." he grinned, while striding away from the mare in thought. He would have to make a list.. and then he would have to make time to revisit many from his past, and work some complications out.
"I suppose after I finish my emotional quest, I should come find you?" he looked back at the mare, realizing the sooner he got his other crap done, the sooner they could get the heck outta there! "I think it is pointless to say goodbye now, since I am striving to see you soon again." he chuckled lightly, while winking at the mare. "Don't stray too far from where I could find you, or else I will get lost, and then we will both be in trouble!" Dante then gave himself a laugh while he faced the mare.

Watching him go made her wonder what she was going to do whilst he was away finding himself, but, to show that she was serious about sticking around until he was back, she planted a hoof into the ground, taking a bit of ground with her before giving a shake of her head, the sound of metal and glass filling the air around her once as her jewelry she received from Jack sounding off in response to the movement. "Regretfully, I think I would just be a hassle if I stood by your side throughout your finding yourself, and it's something you'll have to do yourself. I just start the wheels in this family, it's always you guys who finish the chapters in you story." she stated, almost poetically, another thing she was given from Jack, nearly unknowable to her.
"And it'd make nice stories, you'll get to love stories during adventures, they keep the days interesting." Watching him break off from her side, she nodded to him once, before finishing her lines of though, the knots unfurling in her mind a little more. "I'll be around here, just look for the green glow, or listen for Metal on Glass. Even if you have to, just look for the mare out of place in this hellish place. I'll totally be sticking around - I don't need you getting too lost." She joked, before nodding. What would she do waiting for him, she wondered. Maybe she would pursue Jack out, and talk to him too; her heart had a few loose strings that needed to be tied back, she thought, and who better to talk to, than him?
"See you later Dante, I promise to be here." She finished, wistfully, before looking around once more, and taking to finding some good shelter for the night - it didn't look like it would rain, but the nights had started to cool, and she was not fond of being out and alone when it was colder.

Dante finally started walking as the mare finished speaking, and he gleamed at her words. "Aye, I will look for those things! And I bid you farewell as well, Tal. Please keep yourself happy and busy while I am away.. I will try and hurry back as quickly as I can." As the words finished, so did he, and he slowly made his way out of Tal's view, and into the open landscape. He couldn't see the mare anymore, but this was the best decision for now. A part of him felt awful for leaving her, but he knew she understood. She probably had her own things to take care of.
It was time for him to be triumphant, and do everything he meant to so long ago. Now he had a reason to come back, and he also had a reason to move quickly! He was slowly collecting reasons to live, and that was the most important and wonderful reality of all! "Alright, off I go." To where would be decided when the vicinities were closer, but Dante was excited, and he knew many things awaited him around the corner.
