Tail swishing he dug out a key to unlock the door with then entered, keeping it open so Chance could enter. Shrugging off his coat he put it on a coat rack close by before moving to watch Chance. This was a different predicament than usual having he hardly EVER had someone come home with him, let alone the house being empty. They were probably all out drinking... Or something.
He lived with several other hybrids actually, though he was highly considering moving to a place of his own.

Chance followed Dante, leaving his hand on the doorknob after closing it behind him. "Do you lock?" he asked in inquiry about the door, nodding his head toward it. Some people lock their doors even when at home.
By that time Dante had put his coat away. Chance rarely wore a coat if a shirt to begin with, so there was no worry about that... and would be no worry about accidentally leaving it here.
Dante was watching him, so the unicorn shifted his weight and watched the wolf right back. He was grinning though, a reaction he sometimes had to an awkward situation. A reaction that sometimes gave people the itch to give him... a black eye.
He shrugged. "You know... this is your place." Looking around the room and appreciating it only briefly, he continued before Dante could make a crack about the obviousness of his statement. "It's not the bar. You don't have to be 'social.' If you're worried about saying the 'right thing' then don't. Just... say whatever's on your mind. Makes it easier on both of us."
Thinking back to their meeting the other day was what had prompted this. He hated when things were left unsaid just because someone felt uncomfortable. He knew that asking what was on Dante's mind could be a double-edged sword. It was just something he had to be willing to take.

Tail swishing behind him Dante canted his head silently. At the inquiry he shrugged. "It doesnt matter. People come in and out all night."
Ears perking he blinked slightly, not sure how to react or to say in this situation. Looking away he shrugged a bit not sure if he should brush off the question. "If there was something that I needed to say, it would have been said already." He had at least a LITTLE bit of tact, but with that came his pride which held him to certain things.
"Want something to drink?" that was all that he could think of as he started off, hoping the others would follow of course, towards the kitchen where he was going to dig out, probably, more booze. Maybe it'd help with the situation.
The only reason he'd been out was because he'd been practically lectured to go out, but it seemed it wouldnt be to bad as long as he actually wasnt to mean....

They come and go? The thought was... almost uncomfortable. Tonight might indeed be a social situation beyond one-on-one. Hello Chance, shall we meet the locals? He was not sure he wanted to, though that tiger... Anna...something? seemed nice enough.
He blinked at Dante's statement, face a blank mask. Was he completely ignorant of... well... okay, fine. Tonight was a new night, and apparently a new Dante. He could deal with that. He was game for just about anything. He shrugged. "Fair enough."
Following the wolf into the kitchen, Chance took a random seat that faced the cabinetry where Dante stood. "Sure, I'll have a drink. Whatcha got?" He folded his arms before them on a table, resting his chin on his forearm. The unicorn was watching expectantly, a faint grin on his face. "Or... better yet, I'll have whatever you're having."

Ears flicking back he opened a cabinet door. Not looking back he skimmed through not sure quite what he wanted... "There's several other hybrids that live here, but it seems they're all out. They probably wont be back home tonight and if they do, they won't bother us."
Tail swishing he turned holding a bottle of tequila, it was one of his favorites actually. "Tequila okay? There's others..." Setting the bottle down by Chance he went and grabbed two glasses. He'd probably should have offered wine, but he didnt feel like drinking that.

Watching Dante curiously, the unicorn tried to think of a good reply. No one would be around, most likely. Was he implying anything, or simply stating fact? No reply at all seemed like the best plan right now.
"Tequila's fine." Chance smiled up at Dante when the bottle was set down. Taking hold of it, he started to unscrew the cap before taking a cursory sniff. "Ooh." Another sniff. This was good stuff.

Dante had put an ice cube in each glass before taking them back to the table. Setting them down he quirked an eyebrow and smirked slightly. "I suppose I chose right this time?"
Tail swishing he took a seat for himself and watched Chance silently.

"I'm sorry? I don't follow." Being watched did not bother Chance, unless it was with murderous intent of course. He was used to it. Pouring tequila of equal quantities into the two glasses, he kept his focus on just what he was doing. When he was finished, he slid one in front of the wolf. It was not until closing the bottle with a light spin of the cap that he looked up at Dante.

The wolf shook his head slightly and looked down at the glass as it was given to him a moment before picking it up. "Nothing ~" Raising his glass slightly in a silent 'cheers' sort of way he drank most in just one gulp, there was plenty more so there was no need to hold back ~ .

Chance watched him a moment curiously. Another snide comment, or just some inner conversation? Well, if he didn't want to say, that was fine he supposed. He wasn't about to guess. With a shrug, he ran fingers through his hair and rubbed his scalp. Oh well. "All right," he said, returning the salute with his glass before downing it.

Dante looked in his glass momentarily then finished it off. He gave a happy content murr with a smug grin of sorts ~ He loved Tequila <3 After a moment he reached for the bottle, once again filling his glass all the while trying to think of conversation starters. But to him, it was more of a 'why talk when there's alcohol to drink' but, he figured maybe something should be said.
Thinking he watched the liquid in his glass again before glancing at Chance, suddenly curious why the other had been out so late when he had first met him.
"That one day when we met, what were you doing to be out so late?" Yay ~ Conversation material. He downed the glass.

Tail waving slowly, its multicolored tuft tapped Chance's leg unhurriedly while he eyed the glass he held in his hand. He waited for Dante to pour some tequila then poured some for himself. Ah, it was a nice silence going on between them, something he rarely had the opportunity to enjoy. Almost constantly was he bombarded by the overwhelming sounds of humanity during his day. When he got home it was so much nicer, quieter, tired perhaps but always comfortable. And this right now was getting comfortable.
When he became aware that Dante was watching him, he was already wearing a light smile. Dante's question surprised him because frankly he had doubted the wolf really cared. So then was this just some grab for conversation? He decided he didn't care. Doesn't matter. He shrugged and replied almost nonchalantly. "I was coming home from work. Blew the rest of my savings on a poker game... so I was walking home."
It was not a new story. Canth had not been surprised when he came home at about six to a bleary-eyed tabby fixing coffee and eggs. It had taken one dry sweep head-to-toe and he had already guessed what happened, and didn't want to hear it. It was just too early. So he hadn't told him about Dante.
Come to think of it, when they had discussed it later, Dante still hadn't come up beyond "someone pointed me to a coffee shop where I warmed up for a while." It just didn't seem significant at the time. Now look who he ran into. It was bound to happen eventually, but this soon? Funny how life works out like that, sometimes.
He finished his second glass and looked up at the wolf. "Why were you there? There's usually two reasons why people sit on swings: either they never grew up or they just broke up with someone. You didn't look very happy..."

His own tail swished behind him, listening to Chance. Everyone had been knocked out when he came home actually, which was a mildly amusing scene if he didnt say so himself.
Finishing his drink he grabbed the bottle once again filling up waiting until he set the bottle down, not putting the cap back on for a reason, to reply. Thinking back he recalled why he'd been there.
Giving a smirk and a small chuckle he shook his head. If only it had been the first answer ~Well he supposed it was a little bit since he still like swings but that was besides the point.
"I had nothing better to do, and all hell had broken loose here. I wasnt happy because I'd been up almost 36 hours by then..." he downed the drink with a happy murr and with the semi stupid smile again.

Chance eyed the bottle as Dante left the cap off. But he waited for Dante's reply before making a move for it. As he watched the liquid flow into the glass, he grinned. "Too bad it wasn't because you like swings." Wouldn't it be funny if two grown men were seen wandering off to the playground to push each other on the swings, he mused.
Setting the bottle back down, he left it as Dante had, with the lid sitting forlornly off to the side. "Is it always... busy... around here?" He glanced back out of the kitchen and the relative quiet. It was late enough that normal people might be in bed, but early enough for party-goers would still be out. Except for these two of course. When he turned back to Dante he was grinning again; kind of a silly grin, a relaxed grin. This was definitely nice.

"Mm... More random busy than anything. It goes from REALLY busy to REALLY slow like now. Everyone has their things to do."
Dante smirked. "I do like swings, thats one reason I go there besides other places I could go to."
Going back to the question he grabbed the bottle again as he spoke. "Sometimes it gets busier than busy when others bring other people home. Though that ends up a riot for myself when I finally come home and see everyone is passed out on the floor or couch."
his mind was becoming a bit...scattered... >>;
