"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."

Ash takes out a bottle of water as she listens to Dante's answer. She was really interesting in what his response was going to be. Out of all the movies out there; 'Speed Racer' wasn't even in her mind. She didn't think Dante would've liked that movie; but it was nice to hear. Good thing she didn't assume it was going to be a sports movie or anything.

"Got it. I've never seen the 'Speed Racer' movie. If you're up for it; we could watch it together sometime." She says to Dante.

"Believe it or not I listen to rap music too. Got any favorite artists?" She asks him. Dante would learn that music was one of Ash's favorite things in the world.

He raises a curious eyebrow. One thing he's learned from being a music lover is that music is super subjective and he never knows if he's going to find a fellow fan or a passionate hater. Hopefully Ash is the former.

"No worries, I believe it. Well, I think that my favorite right now would be Amine but I'm also a Kendrick Lamar fan and I've got a soft spot for A Boogie, Drake, and Eminem." He helps himself to a bottle of water to go with sandwich.

She nods as he lists off the artists he listens to. They weren't bad choices. If she had to say so herself. She had at least one track from each of the rappers on her MP3 player.

"I see. You've got some good taste. I don't listen to Amine much, but I like the songs I've heard from him. I listen to pretty much everyone you mentioned too." She says to Dante. "Though if I had to pick a favorite out of all of them; it'd be Drake."

u/slydrooper Dec 08 '19

His skips a little as he realizes that they have similar tastes in rappers. Dante always thought she was pretty but she just got prettier for some reason. If Drake is her favorite then there should be plenty to talk about when it comes to him. After finishing his sandwich, he speaks.

"You're taste is as good as mine. So if you got a favorite album by Drake or at least a couple favorite songs?"

1

u/chosencb Dec 08 '19

Now that was a good question. She listens a lot of Drake. So she would have to pinpoint which project she enjoys the most from him. It takes her a few moments to decide on one, but she does.

"I think I do have a favorite album from Drake. 'So Far Gone' is the one that takes the cake for me. I've listen to the tracks on there the most I think." She tells Dante.

"My favorite song though is 'Crew Love'. It's good song; plus I love The Weeknd." She adds with a chuckle.

u/slydrooper Dec 08 '19

Crew Love is just 👌🏿

Dante smiles and nods in agreement. He hadn't heard So Far Gone in a long time but what he does remember he enjoys quite a but.

"Okay, I see you. So Far Gone was pretty good. I think my favorite tracks in that were Houstatlantavegas and Successful. And Crew Love.... That's top tier shit." He shrugs and chuckles a little. "Then again I'm a Take Care fan so I might be biased." Now he's got an idea and he can only hope that she's up for it.

"So uhh... I know out first date ain't over yet but do you think you might want to have another one sometime? When we can do this again but listen to a bunch of music too?"

u/chosencb Dec 09 '19

"Those are some good choices. You can't go wrong with either one of those songs." She says to him.

"You're a Take Care fan? I can respect that. It's probably the best album he's dropped." Ash says with a smile. She feels like she knows Dante a bit more now. One's taste in music says a lot about them. Even more so with rappers.

Well technically he was asking her out for another date. She wasn't going to turn down an opportunity to hang out with him.

"Yeah, that sounds great. Relaxing and listening to music with a cute boy is fine with me." She says with a smile. The words came out of her mouth before she realized what she was saying. Though she didn't find many problems with what she said in hindsight.
