Dante didn’t know how he’d passed up the opportunity to run around the clock tower of Death City. H chalked it up to a previous lack of confidence, not to mention his parkour skills were only recently starting to be good enough that he could run around the city without the certainty of killing himself should he fall or miss a landing. It had been easier to get in than he thought. Through an unlocked door and up some stairs and suddenly boom, he was surrounded by a bunch of gears and other raucously loud machinery that he had no idea whatsoever as to how it might work. The first thought across his mind was exactly how awful it would be to fall in between one of those giant gears. Did that stop him?
Nope!
If anything the blonde was only encouraged by the promise of such a dangerous possibility. Not even bothering to keep scaling the stairs to a safer starting point on one of the platforms; Dante simply jumped the railing and reached out a hand to catch one of the closer gears. Letting the piece of clockwork carry him up a ways, he made sure his grip was good before flipping up onto it and walking along the divots for a bit. Where to go next? Up of course! Spying a piece of metal sticking just far enough out from the gears that he wouldn’t be crushed; Dante grinned and leapt for it. Grabbing onto it, the blonde hung there for a moment to survey where to possibly go next. The gear beside him wasn’t going the direction he wanted and was also moving a bit fast for him. Always the cautious one, Dante. Well, minus the part where he thought running around on gears in a clock tower was a good idea.
Spying a smaller gear slightly further away, it seemed like his best choice. Swinging his feet forward, Dante let go of the piece of metal he’d been hanging onto and immediately realized that he’d made a horrible misjudgment at how far away the gear was. Flailing rather hilariously, Dante grabbed onto the next gear he saw and held on for dear life. Well, that didn’t turn out so well either. The Italian was forced to let go almost as soon as he’d latched on to avoid getting his fingers crushed between the gears. It would appear the blonde was far luckier than he gave himself credit for in the past, though. This was proven to Dante by the fact that he landed on a flat gear feet first, merely spinning counter clockwise in place. He had no chance of getting crushed here. Unfortunately, he also saw no possible way to get back up without potentially hurting himself. Running a hand through his hair, Dante sighed,
“Dannazione. Mamma sta per uccidermi quando scopre di questo.” ((Damn. Mom is going to kill me when she finds out about this.))
Getting dizzy from being rotated on a gear constantly, Dante decided to at least sit down while he waited for someone to find him. Or at least he hoped someone would find him. It would be rather unfortunate if nobody happened to pass by or come to inspect the gears. He really didn’t think being stuck in a clock tower for more than an hour would be fun in the slightest. Sighing, Dante stood back up. Finding his footing on the spinning gear, he could only imagine how ridiculous he must look being spun around on a gear, almost if her were stuck on an old school record player. Looking up to the ledge where the stairs led, Dante cupped his hands around his mouth so his voice would hopefully be heard over the machinery,
“Hello? Is anybody up there? I’m kind of stuck down here, I need help!”

Tori was sitting in her room at morning her father didn't need help down in the shop that day so she took the opportunity to get some of her homework done. In the face of the clock tower was where her room was. Tori sat at a desk near a small window in the room so that some natural light could come in and light up her paper she was working. Tori found homework dreadfully boring but then again what student didn't? She looked at the watch on her wrist, the watch that some green haired prince just happened to give her. It was half past 2 now and Tori gave a sigh and pushed away from the desk. She had been working on her paper all day it was a good time to take a brake. Tori walked over near her door to get something out ti tinker with. She stopped as she heard something. It sounded like something was in the gear room. Tori shook her head, what was a silly thought the door to that room was locked right now. Tori found a wind up toy she was tinkering with the other day and picked it up. She walked back to another desk in the room and pulled out her tool kit. Tori began to work on the toy when she hears the noise again. She looked up and over to her door. "Bloody hell what is that?" She got up from her desk and walked to the door pulling a leaver opening up the giant gear that was her door. Tori grabbed a set of keys next to her door and walked to the door leading to the gear room of the clock tower. She unlocked it and the rush of noise filled her ears. One would wounder how she would be able to hear anything out of the ordinary with all this noise but then again Tori lived with this noise all the time and was used to what it sounded like. She knew the sound of the gears turning of the clock tower and her and her father can just listen to a clock or a watch and tell what was wrong. So it came as a interested when Tori could hear something a miss all the way from her room. Victoria began to walk along the cat walk of the gear room looking at all the gears. They all seemed to be running just fine, then what was that noise she hears? Tori heart skipped a beat when she hears someone yelling. She ran over to the edge of the cat walk and looked down to see a boy stuck on one of the larger gears. Tori stared for a few second. How did he get in here?! The door was locked, or at least it should have been. Maybe her father forgot to lock it again, we was such a forgetful man sometimes. Tori cupped her hands around her mouth and yelled down to the boy. "Hold on I'll get out of there!" Tori ran back to the door and out a rope she then ran back to where the boy was, tied the rope to the catwalk and threw it down. "Climb up!" She yelled to him. Tori waited for the boy to be safely on the catwalk before she let loose on him. "Are you out of your bloody mind!! What made you think coming into a gear room of a clock tower was safe?! You could have gotten hurt or killed! What if I hadn't been living here? You would have been down there quite a long time, very rarely do people come and check on the clock towers! You are lucky my family lives here and I hear you all the way from my room. WHAT WHERE YOU EVEN DOING IN HERE!?" The small British was made at this boy, he could see it in her face and she even got a little red in the checks from all the yelling. Tori grabs the boy by the upper arm and drags him out of the gear room and into the hallway shutting and locking the door behind her. She turns around again placing her hands firmly on her hips. "Now what is your name so I can properly yell at you."

“Hello? Please, is anyone up there?”
Oh who was he kidding? There was no way anybody would be able to hear him over the loud clattering of cogs, but that didn’t deter Dante in the least. He didn’t want to be stuck down amongst the turning gears, and truth be told he became more nervous by the minute. He blamed the constant spinning; it was becoming rather dizzying to the blonde to be spun like a record. Sighing, he stared up at the platform. He could swear he heard footsteps, but perhaps it was only wishful thinking. Of course this was proven wrong when a girl appeared walking along what appeared to be some sort of catwalk. Oh thank goodness, he wouldn’t be stuck after all,
“Excuse me, signorina! Would you mind helping me get out of here, I’m afraid I’ve gotten myself stuck.”
After staring at him, she told him that she would indeed help him and ran off. Dante couldn’t believe his luck. As long as he wasn’t going to be stuck in amongst the clockwork for hours on end, maybe his mother needn’t know about this little mishap. It would certainly save him another lecture in harshly spoken Italian mixed in with various old curses from somewhere on his Nonna’s side. Yeah, he really didn’t feel like listening to that today, or any other day really. The rather Victorian looking girl returned and threw a roped down to him from her place on the catwalk, telling him to climb on up. Dante smiled and waited for the gear to spin around to where the rope hung before grabbing onto it, grinning as he did so. Was he pleased with his antics? No, not really, but it was a habit of his to grin like an idiot when nervous.
It didn’t take him long to climb up to the catwalk. He could run up walls for heaven’s sake, climbing up a rope was nothing. It was felt strange to stand on the catwalk after standing on that spinning gear, even if he hadn’t been stuck that long, but it still felt a bit odd. Grinning at the girl Dante supposed that he really ought to thank her for her help,
“Grazie for getting me out of there. I really appreciate it.”
And then it seemed that Dante would be getting a lecture even if he didn’t get home. This chick was seriously ticked off that he was in the clock tower. Apparently her family lived in it. Dante had no idea that people lived in clock towers, the idea seemed rather silly to him. That didn’t stop him from feeling bad though. After all, he’d technically just broken into someone’s house and used it as a playground of sorts. The blonde tried to explain himself but the way she was ranting at him it was difficult to get a word in edgewise. Dante was reminded of his two younger sisters. They generally did the same thing when they got mad at him for whatever reason. And then he was being dragged by the arm into a hallway, possibly to be yelled at even more. It wouldn’t have surprised him, but she’d stopped talking long enough for him to at least try and explain why exactly he was present in the clock tower house,
“I’m terribly sorry, signorina! I had no idea people lived in this clock tower, I don’t really wander by it often so I really didn’t notice, plus the door was open. I thought it’d be a good place to practice parkour, but I guess I kind of thought wrong.”
Shrugging his shoulders, Dante took an interest in looking at anything but the peeved brunette in front of him. The walls, the ceiling, anything. He wasn’t sure what else there was to say, and after all he was right. Had he jumped wrong he really could have seriously hurt himself, but then again he supposed the risk was why he found free running so much fun. Still, that didn’t stop him from taking on the expression of a kicked puppy. Dante felt terribly guilty about the whole situation; after all he’d broken into this poor girl’s house and might’ve gotten himself killed. Curse his Catholic conscience! Upon being asked his name, the blonde smiled rather sheepishly at the girl,
“My name’s Dante Giovanni, signorina. I know it’s really not my place to ask, but would you mind telling me yours so I can properly apologize?”

Well He answered her question about how the boy got in, her Papa forgot to lock the door again. Tori would have to tell her Papa to start making sure that he locked that door. They didn't need more people like this boy coming in and free running all over the place and getting hurt. As she listen to the boy talk Tori calmed down and felt a little bad when she say the look on his face. She rubes the back of her head looking away from him when he asks her what her name is. "My name is Victoria Pelham but you can just call me Tori if you like. Everybody does." She turned and looked back at the blond boy named Dante with a little smile on her face. "I am sorry about yelling at you. I just... Have a little bit of a temper when people do dumb things like free run in a clock tower. There is no need to say yo are sorry anymore I can clearly see on your face that you know you did something wrong. Here come with me let me make you some tea."
Tori began to walk back to her room waving her hand for Dante to come and fallow her. Tori gear of a door was still left open and Dante would be greeted by the large room full of different thing but all very Victorian and steampunk. Tori walked over to a counter that had a little kettle sitting on a tiny burner. Tori filled it up with water from the sink in her bathroom and turned the burner on. she then walks over to a box and opens it up looking at Dante. "You can pick a type of tea if you like. I have many to choose from." Tori handed the box over to him. She then went and sat down at a table near the counter where the water was boiling. "So yes as you can see I do live here in this clock town. My Mum and Papa own a watch shop just down stairs. I work there most days. So..."
Tori felt so odd having another person in her room and a boy to top it all of, but he seemed to be a very nice man. Tori shifted in her set trying to think of something to ask. You know now that tori thought about it she should probably tell her parents that she had a guest over. "hold on just once second I need to tell my Papa that you are here." Tori got up and walked over to what appeared to be the top of an old record player attached to a a bronze pipe. Tori talked into it. "Papa I have a guest over I hope you don't mind." She waited a few second and then the sound of an older mans voice came from it. "Oh that's fine Tori....But when did your guest get here? I didn't see him come into the shop." Tori gave a sigh at this, she knew he was going to ask. "You left the back door unlocked and he ended up stuck in the gear room. He is all right but Papa you have got to remember to lock that door." A chuckle came from the other end. "Oh my the gear room? Well I am sure glad that he is ok. If you two need anything just give a call." It was rather surprising how calm the man seemed to be on the other end. Tori walked back over and smiled at Dante.
She wasn't very good at making conversation she was much better at yelling at people and telling them what to do. "Sorry about that thought I should tell him that you are here....So Dante to you go to school at Shibusin?" That seemed like a good question to ask. She wanted to say away from the subject of the fiasco that had just happened in the gear room and it seemed like her Father wasn't upset at all about him having stumbled into their home. This didn't shock her one bit her father was a very laid back person. It was a good thing she didn't tell her mother. Tori mother would have been up here so fast making sure that they boy was ok.

Wait, now she was apologizing for yelling at him? This Victoria girl appeared to change moods as quickly as one might change clothes. Dante hoped she wasn’t always like this. That must be terribly stressful for her being so angry at one moment and then calm the nest. Still, at least she seemed to have forgiven him, even going so far as to say that he had no need to apologize anymore. Dante wasn’t expecting to be offered tea, but it did get rid of the horribly ashamed facial expression he’d been wearing. Maybe things weren’t as bad as they seemed after all. He did have a tendency to worry too much in these situations.
Seeing Victoria wave at him, Dante assume that meant he was supposed to follow her. Feeling rather silly for not thinking that was the case in the first place, he jogged along after her and followed the British girl into what he assumed to be her room. The blonde walked through the gear of a door just in time to see his new acquaintance put a small kettle on to boil. Upon her telling him he was free to choose a type of tea, Dante shrugged his shoulders,
“Whatever you pick is fine, signorina Tori. I don’t drink much tea so I wouldn’t really know what’s good.”
Apparently Victoria’s family didn’t just live in the clock tower but also ran a shop downstairs. Dante found it odd that he’d never spotted it before but then again perhaps they were new to town. Of course he could have just forgotten about it, or simply passed by it without noticing. Whatever the case he knew it existed now and he would make a point not to run around in the clockwork again anytime soon, at least not without permission. Dante watched Victoria wander over to what appeared to be an old record player but seemed to be more like a means of communication throughout the house. While she spoke to her father, Dante looked idly around the girl’s room while still standing awkwardly just inside the door.
Once she’d finished telling her father about their unexpected visitor, Victoria inquired as to whether Dante attended Shibusen. The blonde smiled and nodded,
“You bet I do. So do my younger sisters although that means I have to tutor them, not that I really mind. They can be a bit of a handful sometimes, though. What about you?”

When Dante told her that he really didn't drink much tea Tori looked threw her choices. She was starting to run low on them now that she was really looks but she still had some Yorkshire Gold left. Tori pulled the container out and walked over to the now whistling kettle. Tori poured the hot water into a tea pot along with the tea. She then picks that up and two tea cups and walks over to the table that she was sitting before. She places the tea pot in the middle and the cups at ether end. She then walks over to the cupboard where she got the tea box from and pulls out some sweets. She then walks back and places them down on the table all the while listening to Dante talk about his sisters. "You're lucky I don't have any siblings. I always wanted a brother thought... Mom and Dad tried to have another kid but it just never happened." She then took a set and waves a hand to the one across from her. "Please have a set Dante and help yourself to the sweet I have more then enough... I know it's nothing like you might have back in Italy but I hope you like them."
Tori gave him a very warm and kind smile, one that she hadn't given to anyone in a long time. She began to grab a few treats for herself still hoping to make conversation with Dante. "So since you go to Shibusen I have to ask mesiter or weapon? I am a meister my self but I am in the NOT class... Don't get me wrong I know how to give a good punch but when it come to fighting or even taking down a Kishin egg I have no clue what to do." She took the tea pot and poured herself a cup and looked back up at Dante. "Just to warn you the tea is kind of bitter. If you want sugar please tell me and I will go and get you some."
She took a sip of her hot tea and placed the cup back down on the saucer. She begins to run her finger around the rim of her cup not looking up at Dante. "You know Dante I moved her over the summer and in all this time you are only the second person I even really meet from the school let alone talk to...The other name is Levi and he....Well he really just seems to show up and piss me off. I don't know what is about him that just make me so made, maybe the fact that he always calls me babe and hit on me or maybe...." This was a very sad and true fact about Tori she spent most of her free time in the shop. She never really went out since she had moved her and because of this she had only really met one other person by chance on a shopping trip. The sudden image of the prince face appeared in her head with the grin he always seems to have on his face. Out of no where Tori's face turns suddenly red and she covers it the moment she realizes this. "NO NO NO NO NO!!!" She squeaks trying her best to hide her blushing face. Why was she blushing!? She was just thought about Levi normally that just makes her really angry but for some reason right now she was blushing.
"I am so sorry about this Dante I... I don't normally acted like this! I don't know what has come over me..."
Could this get any more embarrassing for the British girl? Why did this have to happen now and in front of a new person. He must have thought of her crazy by now with her mood swings and now this. Maybe Tori should just ask him to leave and be done and over with this all? At the same time she couldn't bring herself to do that she wanted to meet more people. She only hoped that she hadn't mess this up with Dante.

Victoria was turning more British by the second. Dante didn’t know people outside of Britain actually had tea anymore with the fancy cups and sweets and everything. The blonde watched her wander about setting everything up, not really sure what to do other then stand awkwardly. He felt a bit envious of Victoria for being an only child. He could safely bet that if his parents had stopped at one child, he would have a significantly easier life, but it wouldn’t be nearly as interesting. Also boring. His sisters may have been two of the worst trolls on the planet in addition to not knowing the concepts of privacy or personal space, but they at least kept things interesting. Upon being told to sit down, Dante took a seat across from Victoria and chuckled about her comment about him being lucky,
“I wouldn’t say that necessarily. My sisters tend to grate on my nerves a bit, but they usually mean well. Usually. Although sometimes I swear they were put on the planet for the sole purpose of causing me worry.”
Hearing Tori say that she was not just a Meister but also in the NOT class turned the entire situation on its head though. Maybe falling in amongst the cogs hadn’t been such a bad idea after all. Smiling, the blonde was suddenly hoping that Victoria didn’t already have a Weapon yet,
“Don’t be so hard on yourself, signorina Tori. I’m in the NOT class too, but I’m a Weapon.”
Victoria seemed to go off in her own little world for a moment, so Dante poured himself some tea and listened to her ramble for a bit. He was used to it after all. Every other sentence out of Felicia and Guiliana’s mouths were about boys after all. With two younger sisters he was more than accustomed to listening to such things, although he was usually a captive audience. Felicia especially loved to barge into his room whenever she saw fit and sit and rant to him about whatever it was that happened to strike her as awful about her day. From what Tori was telling him, Dante figured this Levi guy for a complete and total jerk. He felt as though he’d heard the name before, then again perhaps his sisters had complained about him too and he’d merely blocked out the memory.
Sipping his tea, Victoria suddenly seemed rather embarrassed to be spilling her guts to him. He didn’t blame her, they had just met after all, but it wasn’t really any trouble. It was better than listening to his sisters whine about this and that or his mother wail about how fast her children were growing up. Snickering a bit at how red her face was, Dante waved the hand that wasn’t holding a tea cup to show it was no big deal,
“Don’t worry about it. Two younger sisters, remember? I’m used to it.”

Tori moved some of her hair out of her face giving a little laugh. She still couldn't believe that she just did that, she really was horrible at meeting new people. Now she could only wonder what this boy thought of her. Tori looked up at him for a few second and was rather relived to see that he didn't looked bother by her sudden outburst. Well that was a good start it might also help that he had two sister. Tori give a little sigh of relief and pick up her cup and took a sip. She places it back down and crosses one leg over the other placing her hands on her knees. "Well I am relived to know that my sudden outburst wasn't... To odd for you... I hope..."
She looked away from him and around her room for a moment. There was something she wanted to ask him but now she felt a little odd about it. Maybe it was because she just almost spilled her heart and soul out to this boy who she found in the clock tower. Yeah. That's not odd at all. Finely she looks back at him figuring she should just go for it. What was the worst that would happen? He could think her a strange woman and leave and she might never see him again. There could be something far worse then that but Tori didn't know what. "So Dante you said that you are a weapon and in the NOT class? I was just wondering... Do you have a meister at all?"Tori began to shift in her set looking away from him again. "I'm sorry I'm just new here in the school and I am looking for a weapon still. I know it's kind of out of the blue to ask but... I mean what are the odds that a weapon should happen to find himself in my clock tower." Tori really hoped she wasn't making a fool out of her self because she sure felt like one right now.

Dante guessed Tori wasn’t exactly used to sharing her feelings with people. He didn’t think he’d ever seen anybody act so bashful just for speaking their mind. Then again at his house feelings were often expressed loudly and accompanied by food so he really wouldn’t know what it felt like to be reserved. He was Italian, it was in his nature to be a bit more on the dramatic side, but Tori seemed to be exactly opposite. It was a welcome change considering he’d no doubt be bombarded by an array of raised voices and colorful language once he got home, but he’d expect nothing less. Shrugging his shoulders, the blonde smiled at the Brit,
“It’s no big deal. Like I said, I’ve got two sisters who chatter at me non-stop no matter what I do. It doesn’t really bother me.”
His sisters were one thing, his mother was another considering her voice was perpetually set in a tone of hurried annoyance, but that was beside the point. Tori still seemed to be nervous about something, although what exactly that was Dante couldn’t be sure. Sipping his tea, he tried not to think too much of it. If he did then he’d only make himself nervous and possibly appear even more awkward than usual. That would only make the situation embarrassing for the both of them. Luckily the reason for the Brit’s uneasiness soon became apparent as she questioned Dante as to whether or not he had a Meister.
Again, this didn’t really seem like anything to be nervous about to Dante. They were both in the NOT class, he figured they would’ve wound up talking about partners and things at some point. Still, he couldn’t help but grin just a little bit wider than he had previously. If Tori was asking about whether or not he had a Meister, then surely the only reason would be because she herself did not yet have a Weapon. Or at least that was what he hoped was the reason behind her question because he really did need a partner and had yet to find one. Dante shook his head,
“No, I don’t have a Meister yet. And you’re right; it does seem a bit of an unlikely coincidence that I should just wander in here. From that question, I take it you don’t have a Weapon yet?”
((Bang I am so sorry this took so long!))

Tori was holding her breath and the moment he said he didn't have a meister she let it good and took another breath in. She gave him a big grin and shook her head as well. "Oh no I don't have a weapon at all. I mean I did once but she had to move away, it was all very sad." She took another sip of her teat thinking about her best friend that she may never see again in this life time. She places the cup down again and get up walking over to her desk and poking at some of her clock work items that she made. She then turns around again leaning on the desk with her hands on ether side of her. "So Dante it looks like we both may need each other. Do you think we might be able to team up? I mean I know we just meet each other today but it seems like that how things work around here. Find a weapon, find out if they have a meister or not, team up with them." She gives a laugh at this. "Seems rather odd now doesn't it?"
She reaches behind her and picks up one of her little wind up toys she made, a grasshopper, and walks back over to the table and sits down. She winds it up and places it on the table and it begins to hop around. She leans an elbow on the table and rest her chin the her hands watching the wind up toy. She then looks back up to Dante. "So there is something very important that I forgot to ask you, what type of weapon are you Dante? It might be helpful for me to know this so that I know what I am getting myself into. She gives a little laugh again as she picks up the grasshopper that has not stopped hopping. "Cute little thing isn't it? I made it out of spare part from the watch shop on the first floor. Tori was doing it again. When she gets nervous she being to ramble about random things and she was doing it again this time about her little toy that she made. She would really have to get over this whole thing about being nervous around new people. It was so bothersome and it was becoming very annoying to her now.

If Tori’s previous Weapon had moved away, then maybe that was why she was so nervous. Dante imagined it couldn’t have been easy on her, especially if they’d been friends. He remembered being a bit melancholy himself when his family had moved from Italy to Death City, but since they went back to visit regularly he supposed it wasn’t really the same thing. Dante gave her a sympathetic look,
“I’m sorry, that couldn’t have been easy for you.”
Taking another sip of tea, he watched the British girl wander to her desk, speaking more of teaming up. The Italian shrugged her comment of how odd it seemed that the students of Shibusen seemed able to team up so easily,
“Maybe it’s just that simple? Or they could just be lucky, then again it could just be more difficult for you and I to find partners because we’re in the NOT class.”
Tori returned to the table after picking something up from the desk. Dante saw it was some sort of small mechanical grasshopper. He watched her wind it up and set it on the table so it could hop around. He’d never seen anything like it and stared after it a bit out of curiosity while Tori spoke again, this time questioning him as to what sort of Weapon he was. Well that was easy. Dante looked at her and smiled,
“I’m a Rapier. Nothing too fancy.”
Okay so that last part could be debated, but in Dante’s mind there wasn’t anything too fancy about his Weapon form. Just a normal old sword, plain and simple. He assumed that such a thing would be easy enough for Tori to handle since she seemed to be made of pretty sturdy stuff just from the earful she’d given him earlier for unknowingly breaking into the clock tower. But that was beside the point, she was talking about the grasshopper now and so the blonde turned his attention back to the little wind up toy making its way about the table. At her statement that she’d made it, a look of surprise crossed his face,
“Whoa, you made this little guy? That’s amazing!”
Dante could never have managed to create anything so intricate. He was total crap with machines and the like. Luckily he had other talents, like parkour and cooking, to make up for his lack of mechanical skills. He kicked ass in the kitchen. Looking back Tori again, he had a proposition for her,
“If you want I can change into my Weapon form so you can see if you can wield me. It might be easier.”

The meister couldn't help but give a little smile and rub the back of her head at his reaction to her grass hopper. It just came so natural to the Brit to make little toys out of lefter over clock parts. Her attention came back to Dante though when he gave his proposal to have her try his weapon form out. Tori nodded her head slowly up and down. "Yeah that does sound like a good idea. We wouldn't want to become a team only to find out that our souls don't work well together."
Tori Held out her left hand to Dante and gave him a bit of a smile again. "I hope it doesn't matter to much but as you can tell I'm left handed. I know that some sword it does matter what hand you use." Tori watch in amazement as Dante turned into his weapon form and caught him in mid air. It was always just socking to her how people could turn into weapons like this. Tori moves Dante over in her hand look him over. "Nothing special my bum, Dante I don't know if you know this but your handle is so beautiful and you fit in my hand perfectly."
Tori didn't really know much about fencing but she had seen it a few times in her life and took to a very poor stance. "I'm sorry Dante I have no idea if I am doing this right at all. My lest weapon was a frying pan and it didn't take much skill to swing her around." Tori made a few attempts at welding him. It was clear she had no idea what she was going what so ever but at lest she knew that he was a piercing weapon and not a slashing one. She then moves around a little to quickly and Dante hits a few thing on her desk knocking them right off and sending them crashing to the ground. Tori flinches as she watches them all fall. "OH NO!" For a horrified second Tori runs over to the desk and see that her violin was okay, and it was she had missed it. "Oh good Mum would have killed me if I damaged my violin."
There then came a sound from the pipe nearest to her desk. A Irish woman's voice calls out with all the tone of concern. "Victoria sweety is everything alright up there? I heard a crash..." Tori looks over at the pipe. "Yeah Mum everything is fine I was... uh... Just testing something out. No need to worry I'm all right." "Well if you say so... Just be safe all right." Tori breaths out dogging that bullet. She really didn't need her Mum to come up and bother her right now.
While Dante is in his weapon form he can feel Tori's souls reaching out to him but it might not be what he expected. Instead of it wanting to work together or even become one he could feel it wanted to take over and be in change. It was pushy and bossy and very overbearing. It was indeed made of some tough stuff and it seemed like it might take a while for it to give up control, much like the girl behind the soul.

Tori had a point; they couldn’t exactly be partners if their souls weren’t compatible with each other. Hopefully things worked out and they would be. Dante didn’t know of that many NOT students, so if there was even a slim chance that he could be Tori’s Weapon, he’d take it. The blonde was a bit surprised to hear she was left handed if only because he was left handed as well. He shook his head and smiled at her,
“It shouldn’t be a problem. I happen to be left handed too actually.”
Dante stood up and held a hand over Tori’s. He gave the British girl a grin and a wink before transforming,
“Here goes nothing.”
A pale blue glow enveloped Dante’s body as he changed into his Weapon form. The handle of the silver rapier formed just over Tori’s handle, followed by the ornate hilt and then the blade. To be perfectly honest, Dante was hardly used to being in his Weapon form very much. Being in the NOT class and also without a Meister, he really didn’t find the need to transform much. Finding himself floating in darkness, he tried to find his footing before looking out at Tori. At the very least she managed to catch him and then of course he could feel her wavelength. It was a bit pushy, but that wouldn’t be a problem. Dante himself was passive, and his soul was just the same so his wavelength would relent and adjust to Tori’s rather than pushing back and challenging it.
He hadn’t been expecting the compliment, and from her words he suspected she hadn’t seen another rapier before. Rapiers were usually fancy, but as far as ornamentation went Dante was actually quite plain, not that he was about to tell her that. He chuckled at her,
“Sei troppo gentile, signorina, I’m flattered.” ((You’re too kind, miss.))
He didn’t expect her to try and take a fencing stance, but she still wasn’t all that bad. If she thought he expected her to know fencing in order to weild him then she was mistaken, he really had no opinion on the matter. If they were compatible then they’d eventually learn to work together regardless, and being in the NOT class she’d wind up learning how to properly handle the Demon Rapier by the time they graduated to One Star class anyway. Still, he snickered at her uneasiness,
“Don’t worry so much, Tori. What matters is that you can wield me for now. You can figure out how to fight with me later.”
A few test slashes and, well, Tori managed to send a few things falling to the floor. Dante tried to stifle his laughter, not wanting to rev up her temper again. Still, it was a bit humorous. A frying pan? He’d never heard of such a Weapon, but he supposed he shouldn’t be surprised. He heard an older woman’s voice sound from nearby and assumed it was Tori’s mother. With the way she answered, he was proven correct. Once their conversation was over, he looked out at Tori,
“So what do you think? Does a rapier suit you?”
