Dante grinned, feeling like he had just stumbled upon a goldmine. "Well then, we have to fix that. Come on, I'll show you."
He led Astrid to his room, where he had a TV set up with a game console. He handed her a controller and showed her how to play. At first, Astrid was a bit confused, but soon she was hooked.
As they played, Dante couldn't help but feel a sense of joy and contentment. He had always been a bit of a loner, but with Astrid by his side, he felt like he had found a kindred spirit. And he couldn't wait to show her all the amazing things the mortal world had to offer.
Meanwhile, Astrid was amazed by the technology and the graphics of the game. It was unlike anything she had ever experienced before. And as she played, she felt a sense of freedom and excitement that she had never known.But them Astrid was alerted to something approaching the house
Dante did not hear anything he was fixated on the game
Astrid quickly paused the game and listened intently. She could hear footsteps coming towards the house, and they sounded heavy and purposeful. She stood up and motioned for Dante to be quiet.
"Dante, someone's coming," she whispered urgently.
Dante looked at her in confusion, not understanding the urgency in her voice. "What? Who?"
"I don't know," Astrid replied, "but we have to be careful. Stay here."
She grabbed her one of Dante's cricket bat and tiptoed towards the stairs to met whoever at the door
Then Dante heard his father voice
Relieved, Dante exclaimed, "Oh, it's just my dad!"
Wait my dad he rushed to incept Astrid before his dad saw her or hitting his dad with the bat
He got up and rushed to intercept Astrid , he reached her and tried pulling her back
Astrid started to get angry and her voice was raising dante covered her mouth and then Astrid elbowed him in his stomach he fought thru the pain and pushed Astrid back in his room
His dad opened the door
"Dad! Hi, I didn't know you were coming home so early ," Dante said, trying to sound casual but was a bit winded from the knock he received early.
His father looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "What's going on, Dante? Why are you whispering?"
Dante cleared his throat nervously. "Uh, nothing. I just had so bad chilly, burning up my mouth "
His father didn't seem convinced, but he let it go. "Alright, well, I'm going to take a shower. Your mother will be back soon."
Dante stumbled back to his room , his breath knocked out of him, as Astrid glared at him furiously. "What is wrong with you?" she hissed.
Dante wheezed, trying to catch his breath. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. I just didn't want my dad to see you like that. Or assaulting him with a cricket bat actually do you casual assault people parents at your home"
Astrid's expression softened slightly as she realized that again she was on migard . "I understand things are different here and I did not know that was your father I though we were being ambushed.
Dante nodded, still clutching his stomach. "Okay, I'm sorry. I trust you. Let's go meet my dad. When he is out of the shower"
While his dad was showering Dante mother showed up
Dante greeted his mother hi mom and his dad came around
So mom, dad Dante was hesitant
