Jordan looked at the grass. "Probably." She stood up and turned to him. "Thanks, see you tomorrow in class. Maybe you can help me out again."

"Yeah sure... uh, absolutely. Don't even mention it. So, I s'pose I'll see ya tomorrow in class then... Hey wait... Why don't I walk you over to the dorms? I mean, it's practically on my way anyway..." he said, standing up vivaciously.

Jordan smiled. How long had it been since she'd enjoyed herself? "I don't see why not."

Dante smiled back at her. "Alrighty. Oh, you'd better hold my hand. The undergrowth can get a little tricky to navigate in the dark. I'm used to it though." He extended his hand to her and bowed like a gentleman of earlier times would, smiling widely. "Shall we?" he said jauntily.

Jordan couldn't stop herself from giggling. "I think I'll get along well enough just walking behind you. But I thank you, kind sir, for offering."

Dante smirked and put his fists on his hips. "Fine, fine... but don't come crying to me if you trip into a thorn bush," he said jokingly. The two sauntered off through the woods and across the grounds and soon arrived at Jordan's dormitory. It was a quicker trip than Dante would have liked. "Well, I guess this is goodnight," he said turning to face her. "Hey, you did a really great job tonight. Sorry again if I was a bit rough on ya." He paused for a moment, unsure of how to continue. "So... uh... g'night, I guess. Sweet dreams and such..." he said, smiling awkwardly.

"Yeah, you too." Jordan smiled and went in, headed straight for her bed. How long ago was it she'd been this happy? How long ago had it been since she'd been happy at all?
Maybe she'd finally be able to join the rest of the social world.

Dante watched Jordan go into her dorm smiling the whole way. He was surprised at how much of an effect he seemed to have on her and it made him happy that he could do something like that for someone else. "Buona notte, mio caro," he said quietly. He couldn't stop smiling as he turned around and headed down the path to his own dorm. Tonight had turned out to be a fantasic night. He looked up at the sky again as he walked, taking in the scenery one last time before the night ended. Dante never heard the footsteps behind him as he neared the building in which he slept. He never saw it coming. Before he knew what quite literally hit him, he blacked out and hit the pavement with a thud.

The next day, Dante was very late for class but didn't really seem phased by it at all. As the teacher issued him a warning he proceeded to the back of the room somberly and assumed his seat next to Jordan. He didn't acknowledge her and simply looked straight ahead for the entire class.

Jordan looked over at Dante. Something about him seemed odd today.
"Hey," she whispered, "you alright?"

"Hmm? Yeah... I'm fine..." he said with a distant look in his eyes. He smiled, but somehow it wasn't the same, seeming somewhat empty. He turned back to the front of the class.

She looked at him a moment longer, and tried to shrug it off and pay attention to their work. It kept bugging her though...
After class, she caught him in the hall. "We gonna work on my control again?"

"You know it," he said, flashing her another odd smirk. "I'll see you then."
Suddenly, Dante winced and clutched his forehead. After a few seconds he shook it off and smiled at her again. "I think this school is giving me migranes," he joked with a chuckle.

"Maybe you should go ask someone for some asprin." Jordan said. "You seem really off today."

"I'm fine really," he said. "Just meet me a little later... just like last time. Okay?"
