Trish finished off the last of the weak demons were more like gnats, annoying and stupid, turning to Lady. The human woman holstered her gun readjusting Kalina-Ann on her shoulder sauntering over to the demoness.
"So this girl staying with Dante, she is the one from Fortuna?" Trish asked picking up there conversation from a few minutes before. Lady gave a nod.
"Yeah, that's right. You must remember her seeing as how you were there." She replied. Trish shook her head.
"I saw the boy, Nero, briefly but not the girl. By the time I caught up with them all she had already been absorbed into the savior." Trish stated the last part dryly as if it were a taint on her tongue.
"Well, she's a cute little thing. I can't help but feel bad for her, heart broken and all." Lady stated.
"I feel sorry for her staying at Devil May Cry. Dante's difficult to live with." The demoness stated.
"From what I can tell he hasn't been adversely annoying to her or started mercilessly teasing her." Lady replied.
"Hm, flirting with her?" Trish asked knowing there wasn't a chance that the young woman wouldn't be hit on, as Dante endlessly did to her. Lady thought for a moment realization dawning on her.
"Actually, no, not that I've seen. He's been...behaving himself." Lady said stifling a giggle at Trishs shock. It was rare the demon female was caught off guard.
"I think a visit is in order, wouldn't you agree?" Trish asked cunningly. Lady nodded in agreement.
Kyrie sat on the edge of the desk placing the bolts back into Red Rose clicking the pieces into place. Dante held out Blue Princess holding it out straight to inspect the blade.
"Gotta hand it to the kid, he definitely has the craftsmanship down." Dante said running his thumb down the sharp edge of the blade feeling for any weakness or chipping. Kyrie remained silent biting down on her lip as she reassembled her pistol. It was difficult at times to hold the weapons. There were times the memories that the weapons held were to great for her.
She let out a sigh placing the last bolt into place listening for the click. She placed Red Rose down in between Ebony and Ivory to watch Dante as he ran a cloth down Blue Princess's blade.
"It is nice." She stated distantly. Dante glanced over at her with a smirk.
"I really like this sword. If it wasn't so dainty I'd ask you if I could use it some time." He replied. Kyrie glanced over at Rebellion.
"What would I use then? I don't think I could ever swing your sword around let alone pick it up." Kyrie said.
"Oh, that wouldn't be a problem. I have a lot of weapons. Most of them are in storage." He said motioning towards the various wooden crates.
"How can you swing that sword around the way you do?" Kyrie asked curiously. She had accompanied Dante on a few jobs in the short time she had been staying with him and it did not cease to amaze her the way he wielded his weapon so easily, as if it were an extension of his own arm.
"A lot of practice." He said placing Blue Princess down on the desk. "There, good as new." He said. Kyrie nodded her thanks when the double doors opened wide. Kyrie jumped off the desk to stand next to it grabbing her blade in the process. Trish smirked at the girl as she maintained a casual stance even though it as evident she would be ready to attack.
"You must be Kyrie, the little songstress from Fortuna." Trish said as she walked over to the desk. "I'm Trish, a former partner of Dante's."
"If you're a so call former partner then why is it you keep coming here looking for jobs." Dante said kicking his feet up in his usual manner.
"Someone has to keep an eye on you, make sure you aren't screwing up." She replied running her fingers along the edge of the desk.
"Don't act motherly, it doesn't suit you." Dante said closing his eyes. Lady walked in briskly smiling at Kyrie.
"Hello Lady." Kyrie said with a small smile.
"Hey Kyrie. So how's life here at Devil May Cry?" She asked coming off as nonchalant.
"It's fine. It's nice to have a regular place to stay and Dante is good company." She replied. Dante suppressed a moan knowing well what the women were doing there. It had nothing to do with business and everything to do with busting his balls.
"Is that right?" Lady drawled out. He could hear the smirk in her voice. "I hope that he's still behaving himself."
"Behaving himself?" Kyrie asked innocently cocking a brow up at her in question.
"Yeah, you know. Not harassing you to sleep with him." She replied. Kyrie felt her face flush slightly before turning bright red.
"Dante wouldn't do that to me. He's been nothing but a gentleman since I've come here." She said defensively.
"Give it time. Once he's used to you, he will." Trish stated giggling a bit behind her hand at the pure shock Kyrie was radiating. Her mouth opened and closed on its own a few times.
"No, you're wrong." She said softly.
"Would you two lay off of the poor kid. Geez, shes sheltered and ill equipped to deal with the likes of you." Dante stated. Kyrie shot her attention towards him, he could practically feel the heat from her stare.
"'Sheltered and I'll equipped?'" She quoted back. Dante knew he was in trouble, her tone was that of a woman thoroughly pissed off. He opened up his eyes taking in her small frame that was clenched in rage.
"Kyrie I was sticking up for you honey. To protect you." Dante replied. M
"Protect me? Thank you but I don't need protecting Dante. I am fully equipped to deal with my own problems." She stated.
"Hey, how about a girls night out? My treat." Lady said grabbing Red Rose off of the desk and placing it Kyries holster on her thigh.
"Oh yes, a girls night would be just what we all need." Trish chimed in. Kyrie blinked at the two women.
"Girls night?" She asked.
"Yeah, haven't you ever been out with friends?" Lady asked. Kyrie shook her head once.
"I never had friends, except for Nero." Kyrie stated. Trish wrapped an arm around her shoulders herding her towards the door.
"Then you can not say no. It's decided, let's go." She said. Kyrie attempted to dig her heels in but was no match for the demoness's strength.
"What about Dante?" Kyrie asked. The other two women stared at her blankly for a moment. "I haven't cooked dinner yet." The groan that came from Dante was audible and reached all of their ears, now he was in for it.
"You're making this poor girl cook for you." Lady said lowly her voice taking in a darker edge to it.
"Hold up, she offers. So help me if I try to order a pizza, she nags my damn head off and chases me out of the kitchen when I try to help." He replied haughtily, he d be damned if he was going down for this one.
"I enjoy cooking." Kyrie said simply. The other two women grinned at each other almost in a knowing way before turning their attention back to Kyrie.
"Don't you worry about Dante. He's a big boy and can take care of himself." Trish said dragging her out the door.
"Wait, leftovers...in the fridge, don't order pizza or so help me..." Dante heard Kyrie from the other side of the door and let out a chuckle.
"Don't worry sweetie, I won't." He said to the empty office.
