Things seem to have started off with a less than stellar way to kick off his XWA season. He managed to pick up one elimination in his match against one Clayton Lang. However, the following moments in the ring with Mustang and Osiris, not so much. He ended up getting taken out by Mustang and then it was only two. It wasn't the best performance of his career. It was nice to not be the first one eliminated. No one wanted to be the first one eliminated in the first match of the season. He had that much. Dante was glad to have gotten out of there when he had because he was certain that his sunscreen was beginning to wear off. That would have pretty horrendous if he were to burn up in flames in the middle of the United States of America's armed forces. Not only would the humans know that creatures like him existed, the government would now have this knowledge too. That was all his kind needed right now. Government programs put into place in order to exterminate the undead. After retreating to the backstage and reapplying the sunscreen, Dante could be found dressed back in the black suit with umbrella and dark shades. Not like he needed much time to get changed. He's learned to do so quickly because of his need to be in the daylight to appear normal.
Rrrrrrrnghhhhuuuu...
"Oh dear."
Did anyone hear that? He looked down and placed a hand on his stomach. That would be his hunger calling and his stomach letting him know rather loudly. With all the excitement with taking photographs, pandering to the Troops, going out there for his match... He had barely had time to grab a quick bite to drink. When he looked up from his starving stomach, he was greeted by someone nearby who happened to hear his vocal belly.
"Oh. Um... Hi."
Dante said with an embarassed look on his face and a wave of his hand.

Osiris: Hi.
The big man had just come back from the match that both he and Dante were a part of. He was hungry himself so he had grabbed some food. He holds out the tray to Dante, with the first thing anyone would see would be a big steak.
Osiris: Want some?

Dante looked down at the plate presented to him by Osiris. If only he were still among the living, he would have gladly accepted the steak. It was one of the few things he missed about being mortal. It was much easier to find sustenance. Now? Well, he had to find himself the blood of man without anyone knowing. His crimson gaze met the large form of Osiris. What was his deal? After that whole little awkward dispute a week ago, he was trying to be nice now? Or was this a test? This was no doubt a test. He was beginning to like this man less and less. What was his problem? Why was he picking on Dante? What did he ever do to this man? There was just something so... irritating... about a man who seemingly had an obsession with him. Was he some overgrown Twilight fan who knows that he portrays a vampire character in the wrestling business and performs vampire themed music when not in the ring? He didn't know. He just knew that this was probably going to be an issue. Dante just shook his head and responded to Osiris...
"No thanks. I'm allergic to beef."

Osiris: That right? Shame that. Allergic to beef, superstition about the sun. You are just full of problems aren't you?
He sits down at a table and begins to eat his meal.
Osiris: I've actually wanted to talk with you since that time in the park. You left in a hurry and I don't know why. Was kind of hoping you'd tell me what was going on. If I've offended you in any way I'm sorry.

"I would like to know what is going on as well. It's actually disconcerting to know that a complete stranger has taken a special interest in me without giving me a reason why. Not only have you taken a special interest in me, but then you have the gall to assume that I have something to hide."
He pointed at Osiris and continued...
"Yeah. I have a few quirks. What's the problem with that? You have yet to tell me what you found that for some reason gives you the need to have a special interest in me."

Osiris: What I choose to divulge to another is completely up to me, just like you have that same right.
But Dante, never say or guess that I assume something. That would imply that I'm guessing something of you that has yet to be proven, and that is quiet simply shallow and unethical. So I implore you not to do that again.
All I did Dante was ask a question, and you left. Even you have to admit that's not exactly something a person does. There are reasons. Just like you wear sunscreen, heavily. There are reasons. Some are just more obvious then others. By the way, it wasn't easy to wrestle you with that smell. Speaking of, could of swore I smelt something burning during our match. Did you smell it too or was I just imagining things?

"Burning smell? Who knows? Probably wherever you got your steak from was probably burning someone's meal during the match. But don't change the subject."
This guy had some nerve telling him that he was shallow and unethical. It just really was starting to rub Dante the wrong way with all this nonsense about how the information about him was for Osiris to know and for him to find out. What was this? Grade school? High school? Were they children? He felt like Osiris was being childish with all this secrecy.
"Considering the information that you choose to hold so dearly onto and be so secretive is about me... I actually do find that I'm entitled to know what it is. Why the secrecy? What are you afraid of? That I'm some kind of boogeyman that hides under your bed when you sleep? That I'm some kind of monster who sits in your closet when you turn out the lights? That I'm some kind of whack-job like most of the guys in this business? There is no reason why you can't tell me what you know other than you really don't know anything and this is just some kind of pathetic attempt at playing mind games."

Osiris: You wanna know why I didn't want to tell you? Fine. Cause it was stupid. I try to scout my new competition in XWA and what do I find when I look on info for you? Wild internet speculation. That you are much older than you look. MUCH older. That you aren't just playing your gimmick. You really are one. You see why I didn't want to tell you Dante? Because it's stuff no one believes. After all...
He takes a knife and makes a cut in his hand, holding it out in front of Dante.
...I doubt this looks appetizing in the least, especially to you.

Dante took a step back with a look of horror on his face. Blood. There it was. Right in front of him. While his body was telling him to indulge by taking a bite right into Osiris' hand, his mind was telling him that this was a terrible idea. His eyes focused on the hand through those pitch black shades of his. He had to hold out on his hunger. No matter how weak his will was feeling right now. He began to slowly shake his head and say...
"No... Of course not. Why would that be appetizing to me? It's blood. Sticky, hot, messy, awful blood."
He stood back up straight. Trying to regain his composure. Trying to pretend that his sudden action was due to the face that Osiris had just harmed himself with a knife and not because every muscle in his jaw was aching to chomp down. He let out a weak laugh and said...
"Hahaha... So, that was it? That's the big secret? You read something on the internet and ran with it? I don't know why that was such a big deal to tell me. I mean, you can't believe half the things posted on the internet. The people calling me a true undead Nosferatu would probably be the same people trying to tell us that the Illuminati is trying to control us through the media. You can't honestly take it to heart. What you read, you must take with a grain of salt until you've sought forth the truth. If you must know... I am twenty five years old. Not some bizarre number like some come up with where I'm like over five hundred. That's just... preposterous."
He began to shake his head slowly. If he were a human being, he was sure he would be sweating up a storm and turning red in the face because Osiris had no clue how close to the truth he really was. Dante was going to have to check out the internet for himself and get these sites pulled. He can't have those intelligent researchers go and ruin everything he's built for himself. It'd be a shame if he had to disappear again for who knows how many more years.
"Me? A vampire? That's rich. I was afraid you were going to tell me something crazy like... I don't know. I was dating Stephanie Meyer or something. I don't know what people post on the web. I only ever get on a computer to check all my official accounts to keep in touch with fans of both my wrestling work and my music career. Can't believe I got so worked up over nothing... Heh, heh, heh."

Osiris: Indeed.
He grabs a napkin that came with his food and used that to do a makeshift wrapping on his hand to stop the bleeding. He would go to grab some actual bandages later.
Dante, you can see clearly I am not a normal man. Or at least I'd think so. Anyways, as such I've run into some very peculiar characters over the years. Even though none of them were as out there as being a vampire..........well I have to make sure of everything now. Though it was very strange, there wasn't much odd news like this while I was doing research on other people. Just you. Very strange.

"I suppose that just makes me unique. Doesn't it?"
He shrugged his shoulders. He had no clue how people came to the conclusions they did on the internet. He hadn't said anything to anyone who he didn't know for a fact were just like him. Unless there were others out there who were spilling the beans... Familiars. Those pesky humans who wanted to be vampires, but were kept around just because they were a connection to the daylight. Or they were simply just the personal slaves of a particular vampire. Either way, it made him nervous and he was going to have to rectify this little problem.
"It's a crazy, crazy world we live in. There are some strange people out there. But me? I'm just simply Dante Cervantes. There's no funny business about me beyond my little unusual habits."
