Heart of steel starts to grow

Just as Dante had imagined... rather literally, a trip to the stream into an adventure. "I'd call that pretty grand, even though the outcome might not have seemed so. That must have stung. Can't say I've ever had the pleasure." He'd never tried hunting beavers before, though now that she mentioned it, it may be fun sometime to give it a shot. He'd have to keep that in mind.

"I say that sounds like an amazing idea!" It would be good to get his mind away from serious matters and such fantasy as adventure hunting seemed like just the ticket. Her enthusiasm in the idea was rather catching and it was nice to see her smile again after he had extinguished her joy earlier. "Lead on, oh knowledgeable one." He gave her an exaggerated bow. When it came to adventure hunting, he was definitely the apprentice here. Dante had been called many things in his lifetime and adventurous was certainly not one of them.
