"However you look at it Ms. Luna," Dante answered as he crossed his arms in front of his chest and arched an eyebrow at her. "Someone neglected to mention what it is you did. To be honest, I'd much rather hear it from your lips." He added, his tone not buying into her witty humor. "So far, no one's told me anything as of yet. Like I said, it's been three days since that meeting in that diner across town and still, not one message has come from them. At all. Don't you find it rather odd that they're so tight lipped about it even when I asked them to kindly send me the information I requested other than a picture and a personal profile on you?" He added, narrowing his only open iris at her.
"Hmph." Dante added at her next statement but didn't look away from her this time. "I'd say that deserves some explanation."
Now when it came to be asked about honor and integrity, Dante narrowed his eyes at her once more before arching an eyebrow at her again before he turned his head to the side with both eyes closed as he thought about this. To be honest, the only honor he had left had been long since tossed out the window due to the number of times that he had been stabbed in the back by people he had thought were supposed to be potential allies or even close personal friends of his. Dante really couldn't think of an answer to reply with other than a simple shake of his head before letting out a simple scoff then looked at her. But perhaps the one thing he could say was this.
"That depends on your definition of honor. I used to be one of the most honorable people when I first got started in this business three years ago. Then when I saw that people were starting to turn their backs on me, you might say that any shred of that is long gone. Even now, I wouldn't care one way or the other if the bounty was this amount alive or this amount dead. It's worth enough to me either way. Come to think of it, the only reason as to why I haven't put a bullet through your head as of yet is that ever since I'm now here sitting and talking with you, I see no point. But then again, you could be more dangerous than anyone thought, so I don't know what I feel about that." Dante explained. "As for integrity, I'd like to feel that I still have some of that, considering all of the bullshit I have to listen to on a daily basis. I already told you that at a moment's notice when it gets to be too much, I'd give it all up at the drop of a hat and walk away from it all then go somewhere where I'd never be heard from again. I don't mind being one of the top ranked bounty hunters in the world, but lately, it's getting to be rather annoying when the all of the same clients start asking you for favors or even want you to work for them exclusively."
"Here, have a look at this." Dante continued as he reached into his jacket and took a rather expensive looking smartphone out of his pocket then fiddled with it for a moment, bringing up three messages from three different clients, each of them mentioning something about a contract to work for them outright to which he showed her. "Zio Matrix, Emeraude and Mirage. These three conglomerates are all wanting to throw big money contracts at me to stay with them, all of which I look at them and throw them into the trash. But instead, they increase the dollar amounts substantially to the point where they even wanted to throw in percentages of stock." He added before taking it back and replacing it into his jacket once more.
"That enough to answer your question?" He asked.
