[Dante’s quirky sense of humor is very similar to Chijoku’s but not half as dry. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t seem to mind having Majima’s bizarre little buddy around. It was a little jarring at first to see the man’s snake tattoo come to life but now it’s just to be expected. However, Dante appreciates that Chijoku tends to keep his trap shut whenever Majima and he are being intimate. Talking snakes are cool and all but not during “business”. ]

I bet.

[He replies after taking a generous sip of sake. Dante really needs to be careful of this stuff. Sake tends to go down smooth but comes back twice as rough later. Then again, the same could be said about regular old red wine. Dante loves wine but it doesn’t necessarily like him back.]

It’s not easy putting together a celebration like this. Too much crap to worry about.

[Dante peeks at Majima again with a little grin before deciding to refill Majima’s glass. Once he’s done, Dante decides to be nice and pour an extra cup for Chijoku to see if the serpent will drink it outright.]

At least you had help though, right?

[He’s loosely mentioning Emily and Izo.]

You three get along well.
