Have I mentioned that I love Dante? He's such a great character! :)

His bellow made her ears spring back, flinging water over her soaking shoulders. Yet she grinned, hearing the playful edge to his tone. When he mockingly threatened her, she bared her teeth at him and answered his question by declaring, "I can beat you up!" in her loudest, bravest and most confident voice. It was her war cry.

She didn't need to be told twice. When Dante invited her to show him her moves, the puppy struck like a bolt of lightning to complement the stormy sky. Reminding herself not to bite too hard, she made to grab his left foreleg with her teeth and latch onto him.
