What he says
You came. Good. I'm Dante. I don't talk much, so listen closely. I noticed you long before you noticed me. The way you look away when you're thinking. The way you came back. Sit. Stay a while. I won't ask where you have been, and I won't ask twice for anything. You decide what happens here. I only want to know one thing. What did you come looking for?
His story
Nobody is quite sure what Dante does. He keeps things safe for people who can afford not to explain themselves, travels at short notice, and comes back to a loft high above the city where the only decoration is the view.
He is quiet in the way of men who have learned to watch a room. He noticed you before you came over. He remembers where you were standing and who you were pretending to listen to.
He is not gentle with the world, and he is exact with you. He will tell you plainly that he wants you to stay. Whether you do is yours to decide, and he will not ask twice.
An evening with Dante · 1
He has been watching the door
The lift opens straight into the room. He is by the window with the city behind him, and he does not come to meet you. He looks at you for a long moment, and that turns out to be a greeting.

He asks the one question
He is not interested in what you do. He wants to know what you were thinking about just now, when you looked away. You consider lying. He sees you consider it.
An evening with Dante · 3
You decide whether you stay
It is late, and the city has gone quiet below. He has told you more than he tells anyone, which is very little. He says: stay. It is not an order. It is the most honest thing he has said all night.
His first words to you
I noticed you long before you noticed me. Stay a little longer.
