That seems a little extreme, especially given your prices. You couldn't work out some kind of payment plan?

Not my prices, man. I'm just the guy who collects the rent. [He licks his lips, looking Lucas over a moment.] Maybe we could work out some kind of deal.

Despite having lived on base for all the years he'd worked for Grimm, Leo had bought -and therefore owned- three houses around the world. Which would explain the confused expression that comes to his face. "Then it's a good thing I'm not renting in the area." A beat, a drag off his cigarette and a cracking of his knuckles. "Though I'd have loved to see you try." The assassin smirks.

The cracking of the guy's knuckles does little more than draw one corner of Dante's mouth upward. "You'd be surprised what I might be able to accomplish." He glances at the house number to make sure he's at the right address, and his eyes narrow slightly before they cut back to Leo. "So you're not the guy renting this place?"

"That's not the first time I've heard that. It won't be the last. And I'm still waiting for someone to surprise me." Leo takes a moment to glance around subtly, hoping the clean up crew get here ASAP. "No. And the guy who does, isn't home. Come back later."

*He raises an eyebrow, but then presses his lips together, trying to look a little nervous under the scrutiny* What kind of deal are you thinking of, then? I suppose I could be open to possibility. I would like to keep my fingers intact.

Oh, I think we can find much better uses for your fingers. Possibly your mouth too. [He likes the look of that nervousness on Lucas' face, and he takes a step forward, trying to nudge Lucas back into the apartment.]

Come on, let's go inside. Discuss this more properly.

Something about this just doesn't feel right, and his eyes narrow even more until he's practically squinting. He really doesn't trust this guy; he's just got a spooky look about him. Attractive, sure, but there's something in those cold steel blue eyes that's a little off-putting. It's subtle, and it takes a moment for Dante to see it, but it's there.

"You his kid or something?" He's never met the guy face-to-face — it's usually somebody else's job to collect the rent — but he knows the guy's a loner, doesn't have any family. Had a wife, but she died years ago, and they'd been unable to have children of their own.

*He certainly gives Dante an uncomfortable and unhappy look about it, but he doesn't verbally protest and steps back inside.*

I can get you the money. I just need more time. There's no need for any of this unpleasantness.
