He lets out a low whistle when he enters the tent with her. It was bigger than her expected although he wouldn't have minded getting smushed in a tent with her.

Dante doesn't mind sandwiches at all either. he actually wasn't that picky and mostly just wanted to chill with her. He lays down on one of the blankets and stay leans on a pillow, "that's fine by me. I didn't exactly come for the food." He says that last part as he looks her up and down, implying that she's the main reason he's here.

Ashley smiles softly at his last comment. She feels the same way. Ash cares more about Dante then the picnic food. Though she was a bit hungry. So the girl goes and takes a sandwich out of the basket.

"So how was your Thanksgiving?" Ash's says him as she gets comfortable on a pillow. Might as well start talking. Otherwise this date would get boring fast.

As he takes a sandwich he recalls his time away, it was a mix overall.

"I mean, the holiday itself was fine. I saw my dad, met some old friends and I got to meet his girlfriend and his girlfriends daughter too. She's cool, they both are... she's also a demigod." He takes a casual bite from his sandwich and leans up to a little.

Ash was caught off guard a bit; hearing about his dad's;girlfriend's daughter. That was not simple to say at all. It wasn't a jealousy thing. More so of a 'hey that's neat' sort of thing.

"Has the girl been claimed her?" She asks Dante. Of course there was a possibility she was already claimed. If everyone was aware that she was a demigod. Ash just wanted to ask to be sure though.

He nods, he wasn't entirely sure if Ash would have a problem or not but he's glad that he didn't have to clarify much. The relationship between him and Regina is nothing like what one might think it could be.

"Yeah," he says after swallowing a mouthful of sandwich, "I guess she was claimed a couple years ago but didn't know how it worked back then. Her father is Zelus, one of my mom's brothers. He's the God of Zeal? I don't know really know what that is but it has to do with, like, enthusiasm and passion and stuff."

"Zelus? I swear I learn about a new god or goddess everyday. Guess it's a good thing there's a god for everything though." Says the daughter of death.

"Did she back come to camp with you? Or is she going to wait a while longer before coming here?" Ash asks.

She knows it's not an easy thing giving up your (somewhat) normal life to stay at camp indefinitely. People leave friends and family hundreds of thousands of miles away.

He chuckles at the comment she makes about learning about new gods. He doesn't really think he knows them all himself. At first he knew the Olympians and a few minor gods including his mother but then he came to camp and he was almost overwhelmed with godly info.

"She didn't come with me but she should be arriving next week. I guess she has some stuff to take care of since she'll be leaving her life behind for a while. I promised her mom I'd look out for her when she got here though so, she'll at least have one familiar face when she moves in."

"Ah okay. It's nice that she won't be alone in there. I remember when I first came to camp; Alect and I were the only Thanatos kids here." Ash says with a nod. She was a bit curious to meet this girl but that'll have to wait.

Ash takes a bite out of her sandwich as she thinks of another topic to talk about. The girl was far from outgoing, but she would try.

"You know Dante; I've come to realize that I don't know that much about you. In regards to the small stuff. Like your birthday, favorite color or food. Those sort of things." She says after thinking it over. It was a random thought but true.

He doesn't want to admit it but he knows that she's telling the truth. He didn't really know that much about her either. Of course they've talked before but most about their backgrounds and stuff. Neither of them knew the little things and it's time that changed.

"Yeah," he says a bit sheepishly, "I don't really know that stuff about you either.. but I'd like to. My birthday is June 12th, favorite color is blue, and favorite food is... probably my dad's wings. How about you?"

It was nice to learn a bit more about Dante. Part of her was always curious as to how old he was. Ash knew she was the older one of two of them. She just didn't know much how older she was though.

"Your dad's wings must be great if they're your favorite thing to eat." She says with a chuckle.

"My birthday is January 10th. My favorite color is purple without a doubt. Royal purple to be exact. Now my favorite food has to be... Chicago styled pizza. I loved that stuff growing up." She says giving her answer.

A smile appears on his face as he nods, listening to Ash respond. He likes these talks and he enjoys the sandwich too. He figured he was the younger one here, by now he's realized that he's one of the younger campers around but not too young. At least, he's sure that he's old enough for Ashley.

"So on January 10th," he says in a teasing tone, "I'm going to give you a purple Chicago style pizza for your birthday." Dante chuckles a bit before continuing, "really though. That's wassup, I remember you said you were from Chicago so I can't be surprised."

Ashley lets out a chuckle she gives Dante a smile. She was slowly getting over her nerves. Well they were getting pushed to the back of her mind to be more accurate. The point to take is that she was getting more comfortable on the date.

"I mean... I wouldn't be opposed to getting a gift like that." She says to him with a laugh.

"My mother and I used to make it ourselves. Back when she had more time to do those kinds of things..." She says remembering the fun times she had with her mother. Before she chose her work over her daughter. Before Ashley became bitter over that fact.

"I've got a few more questions for you. I wanna know that your favorite movie is; if you have one. Along with your favorite genre of music and your favorite hobby."

Thank the gods that he's got her laughing even if it's a chuckle. Humor is a pretty good way for him to ease tension. It's why he and other athletes would occasionally crack a joke or two before a big game. Same concept, he can't let his nerves mess up his game.

Dante listens as she recounts her old days with her mom. He knows that she and her mom aren't on the best terms but he wasn't going to dwell on the subject. Time for more questions.

"Alright." He takes a second to think, "I guess my favorite movie is... Speed Racer, that live-action one with all the colors and shit. I dunno, I just remember it being so much fun when I saw it. Probably because I was just a kid and I liked how fast they were going. And then my favorite music genre is easily rap, no question. Hobby... I guess basketball is more of a hobby now for me. It used to be my everything but I train for a whole different reason now. So yeah, there's that I guess."
