☬ He smirked at Rickter's compliment, not sure if he was being sarcastic or not. "They are special to me, just as your family is to you. You forget I was a state mage for most of my adult life" he revealed, as the mages of his city were quite the sentiment to the vampyre. He was almost shocked at the revelation that the settlement was a secret. Meaning he was in hiding, but for why?

Now things were getting interesting, as the wolf made note that those around him reminded him to have fun every once in and while, which only made Dante smirk when he asked what would be in it for the wolf if he indulged the vampyre. It seems the wolf wasn't just brawn and basic instinct, there was a brain in that head of his. "That depends on you, granted i may not be able to fulfill your request now, but unlike you, I have all the time I need in order to achieve both my goal and yours as well."

Coming to stand behind Rickter, he rested a hand on the man's shoulder, leaning in to whisper in his ear. "So I think the better question here is, what do you want out of me? Every man has a price, name yours." he allowed for that to hang in the air as he moved away from the man, his eyes trailing over Rickter's form. He had to admit, it had been quite some time since he laid with someone, anyone in fact.

He wasn't just hungry for blood, no he hungered for something more carnal, and if he could get it from Rickter he would see any request granted. It wasn't something he was ashamed to admit, but in the end, he would get what he needed from the man. "Know that a favor from me could tip the balance in your favor given enough time." he teased, knowing he was going to be looking into some major plans he had been devising and seeing them to fruition. ☬

Dancing of Wolves

Glade 9th, 122nd Year, A.o.S.

Noting Dante's slight bit of history in being a mage, the wolf was reminded of Dante's life prior to becoming a Vampyre. He was a Reconciliator after all, perhaps there was more to the story than the wolf initially caught before. Given how afraid those people were back then, at the mere power of his own shields no less, it was unsettling how an entire nation could simply fear what they could control. Had they only learned.

There seemed to be a change of opinion in the way the Vamp saw the wolf, as he was keen to indulge Rickter in the possibility of favors in the future. Not that the Rathari himself wasn't ignorant to the concept, after all, he'd dealt with Hannah enough times to know how her favors circled around. Yet it was when he felt Dante draw close, that the wolf tensed as if apprehensive to react from the proximity. He could smell it in the air around the Vampyre, a carnal desire that the wolf himself often matched throughout the year. Yet recent times had indeed been rough, and being two lovers short, the wolf hadn't outright sought to dally about with others.

Even at Patrick's considerable advice.

However, he viewed this situation as entirely different with Dante. Through an acquaintance with mutual interest, the wolf felt no signs of threat or concern, certainly a potential dalliance he could indulge within the realm of favors. He had the potential gain from an act he'd practiced for years, which in turn, led Rickter to raise an eyebrow when he looked past his shoulder to the Vampyre. "My price?" The wolf didn't want anything so primal as Dante craved, though, he couldn't deny the missing essences in his life weren't a bad start. They brought warmth and meaning into his soul, and gave a richer quality to flavors that Rickter could practically taste through smell.

"The Dornkirks." He aptly named with a steady gaze on Dante now. "I want in Zaichaer. To learn everything I need to know, so when the time is right, I can repay them for their role in the wedding. If you agree to that..." The wolf turned to face the Vampyre forward, leaning close enough so that he spoke lowly. "then you can ride the Black Wolf." He expressed this firmly and gruffly, suggestive of his more aggressive tendencies when situated with such a proposition. Make no mistake Rickter had learned from the best, and he'd be damned if he'd stained the Madame's good name.

So while his mind had been made, the wolf slipped past Dante with a brush of his hand. He only took several steps forward before the Vampyre, before he gazed out into the night with his Zoan eyes. "So then," he finally turned to look suggestively toward Dante, "where do you suggest we go from here?" Not that he was in a rush to go anywhere, and come to think of it there was no hurry to the getting dressed part either apparently. Therefore, the wolf waited to see what his companion for the night decided.

"Every side attacks you when you don't pick sides."

☬ He couldnt help but laugh a little at what was demanded in return. Though if he was being honest, Dante couldnt blame the wolf for wanting to make those responsible pay for what they had done, to bring justice for their crimes. "What you are asking for is feasible but will take some time. But know that I can at least get you close enough to make your move." he began leaning back as he pondered the best way to go about it all, and how to incorporate it into his own scheme of things.

"That being said, however, getting to them will not be easy. If what they did, their role in it was a mission from the state, then they will have no doubt been promoted to a higher station, which means their level of security will have increased." Looking up to the wolf, he smirked at the mention of riding the Black Wolf. Looking down between his legs Dante chuckled before he turned his gaze up to the moonlit night sky. He believed Rickter would be an asset to him, and he learned that sometimes deals could be solidified through a meeting of the flesh by working with his father.

This was one of those times. It would be mutually beneficial for them both. "As for where we go from here, we cement this mutual partnership with a level of trust I doubt even the mother of your children could understand. My new life as a Vampyre is not something I can afford everyone to know. You and Lyra are the only two beings who have seen me in action, and I prefer to keep that number as small as possible."

With that he walked past Rickter, heading towards the eastern part of the Wild King's Forge. "Come, I saw a place I believe we won't be disturbed as we solidify our partnership." A playful smirk lingered on his face as he was engulfed in the shadows of the forest. ☬
