Dante stood under the tent flap and leaned against on of the supports, he was only dressed in his shirt and trousers and seemed rather tired considering the time of day. In his hand he had what was left of his cigar and a hip flask of whiskey, he took a puff of the cigar and let out a sigh. There was slight breeze in the air and Dante had a small smile on his face, you wouldn't be able to tell unless you were actually right in front of him.
Dante looked behind him back into the tent, "Its not like I don't trust you, but maybe we need to come up with something so i can recognize you no matter what form your in" he said as he took a sip from his flask. It was true, the trust between them was a bit shaky but he just didn't want to mistake her for someone else.

Piper wandered close to the edge of the tent with a blanket wrapped around her body. She was currently in her favorite redheaded form, like she had been earlier. She stayed far enough away from the edge of the tent to be seen, but she didn’t want to be too far from Dante.
“Fine, what do you suggest?” she said, keeping her arms crossed over her chest to keep the blanket up.
She could summon whatever kind of clothes she wanted or needed. That might come in handy; she’d been feeling cold lately. She knew that sometimes it was just cold on the surface, but now she felt it, she didn’t like it.
“I can’t always remember to put something on when I’m ‘dressing’ myself,” she said, indicating what she meant by dropping the blanket slightly.
Underneath she had summoned a tight black t-shirt and a pair of skintight black pants.
“I tried that once, for a fashion statement,” she said with a wry smile, “I always forgot.”

Dante smiled, "maybe a certain bangle... or a necklace" he said as he started to think of where he could get one. He would probably pick one up when he next ventured into town, true Piper could probably summon one up but he would prefer to give her one himself, he didn't know why but that's what he wanted. He turned and looked at her admiring her form, he stepped forward and brushed her cheek with his hand before kissing her softly on the lips.
There was however a few risks with her staying with him, the obvious one was that she was in fact a demon, the other was how he was going to explain that she was staying with him, that's if they believe she was human. The only way any other person could find out if she was a demon was if Camille opened her big mouth, but maybe she wasn't stupid enough to do that.
"I'll need to head off later, business to attend to" he said as he broke away from the kiss.

“Oh! That’s a good idea, if it’s real I can’t make it disappear,” she said with a happy grin.
Piper pulled the blanket back up to cover her body. She preferred to be naked, but most humans frowned upon that. She found that being affectionate with Dante made her stomach feel funny. She tilted her head up to let him kiss her, placing a hand on his stubbly chin. Yeah, it felt like… she was sick and she’d never felt better. It was weird as hell, but she liked it; similar to feeling like she could retch and her heart would explode all at once. Human emotions were really… strong.
“Stay with me until then?” she asked, coyly.
She smiled up at him devilishly. She liked being much shorter than him, she decided. She ran her fingers over his stubble enjoying the raspy feel she’d never noticed before. This… was about the best stupid decision she’d ever made.

Dante smiled as he looked down at her, "yeah of course I will" he said as he kissed her again. He slowly placed his hands on her hips and pulled her a little more closer.
A thought suddenly flashed into his head, he couldn't leave her here alone, it seemed that she wanted to stay close to him. Maybe he could ask her to go with him, true he would be out hunting for any soul he could get his hands on but maybe Piper could be of some help... plus he was growing fond of her and even though he would not say it aloud he wanted her near too.
"You know Piper, you could come with me, if you wanted" he asked as he looked into her eyes. He didn't know how she would react, when it came down to it he was asking her to come with him while he killed people and demons.

Piper put her hands up around his neck and let herself be pulled close to him. She liked it when he pulled her around by her hips, she decided. Damn, if all succubae felt what she was feeling when she was with Dante, they probably would think twice before stealing souls. They might settle down, which might kill them. Not everyone could be as lucky as her, she thought.
She pulled away a little bit away and pushed herself on her tiptoes to kiss him again. She was about as close to being happy she’d truly ever been. Fuck heaven, she thought, this is much better. She pulled back to listen to what he was saying.
“Go with you? Won’t I just get in the way?” she asked, but was pretty excited about the idea, “I mean… if you don’t mind, yeah.”
She smiled up at him through her bangs, it’s not like she cared about blood and guts. She did used to kill for food, after all, pretty graphically.

Dante kissed her again, "no of course i don't mind" he said with a warm smile. It seemed like every moment he stayed with her she became more and more intertwined into his life and it was actually making him happy. No one had ever effected him in such a short time but this seemed different, he couldn't help but think that the soul transfer may have effected them both in some way.
He took her hand and lead her back to the bed and sat down, "you know what I'll be doing when were out there... I'll be killing people and taking souls" he knew somehow she wouldn't care or mind but he thought it would be safer just to run it by her, after all when he was hunting he became different. Then again he had to take it seriously, it wasn't just his life on the line any more, Piper needed souls too.

Piper laughed, “Well, if you’re sure.”
She kissed him tenderly again and shrugged. It didn’t matter either way, sex or murder. Everyone died in the end and they both ended up with souls to feed on.
“I don’t really care. I mean, consider what I would do for a living,” she said wryly, “Your method is probably… simpler. Maybe quicker, too, depending.”
She laughed at her little joke. She let go of him for a second.
“I’ll go get ready then,” she said, simply dropping the blanket.
She was fully dressed in a pair of boots and leggings with a Kevlar vest over a white tank. She smiled at him and returned the blanket to the bed. She looked around, wondering if she should bring anything to help defend herself. There wasn’t anything around, so she didn’t worry about it.
“I’m ready. This is better, no one will come in and freak out that I’m there,” she said with a grin.

Dante grinned when he saw what she was wearing, he had to resist the temptation to stand up and undress her once again. He stood from the bed and began to dress himself, obviously it took a little longer than Piper, but not that long. He kicked his clothes that were on the floor into a bundle and opened up a dresser to retrieve more, he got undressed then dressed himself in fresh, crisp, clean clothes. He reattached his holster and his dagger sheath and gathered his pistols and dagger. He was now ready.
"Right then, lets get to it" he said with a wink as he headed towards the tent flap.

Piper followed Dante right out of the tent. This was going to be exciting.
They ended up in a city far off from the camp; no one knew who they were. The long shadows from the setting sun cast the city in an unnerving light. Alleyways seemed more dangerous and people had more shadows across their faces. There were several easy choices, and a couple of harder ones for souls. There was a group of three homeless men standing around a burning trashcan. An old woman was walking her dog down the street and a policeman watched.
Piper walked a little behind Dante, feeling a little out of place. She’d mostly be watching, she figured instead of participating. She felt a little out of place. She’d normally try to pretend to be a hooker in this situation. It’d gotten her several souls in the past. She bit her lip a little.
“So, Boss, what’s first?” she asked hugging his arm.
