[ Some sense, or at least he doesn't want to antagonize the other man too much yet. Although that could very well be because he doesn't see a prize in it. Dante is still interested in Loki. There's some kind of energy, a strange vibe around the other man, and the half-demon is trying to figure out whether he should press the issue or not. It's not demon, but... ]
Well, maybe we should both walk together. You're looking for something too, right? Whatever the monsters are after? Why don't I escort you in?
[ There is a slight smirk on Dante's face as Loki accepts the offer, but it's so naturally part of his easy confidence that it looks natural there. He's won a victory, but he always does, and this one isn't such a big deal that it gets any more than a second of notice. Then the man steps forward, strides down a chosen path, seemingly without any thought at all but still managing to choose the direction leading toward the center of the maze. Almost as if he's drawn to it. ]
So? What'd you come for? The adventure? The prize?
The prize, obviously. I leave adventuring to muscle-brained morons.
[ Aka Thor and the warriors three. Loki rarely sees the point of adventuring around unless there were spoils to be had. He does, however, enjoy exploring, the cosmos at his fingertips, but that was a secretive and dangerous art, one he does not advertise. ]

Come closer and I'll show how good I am with my hands.

As exciting as that sounds, I think I'll pass. Don't want to get too distracted before I find what I'm looking for.

A common occurrence, no doubt. But they are further along.

You? No doubt it is the former.

A little work, a little play. I'm here on business, but that doesn't mean I don't like some excitement on the way.
[ He waggles his eyebrows at Loki, since the god is being so subdued in comparison. ]
What good's a prize without a little adventure?

Power and knowledge do fine to fill in the gaps.

Everyone's always looking for more power. Seems like a waste if you ask me. There're a lot better things to do than chase after something like that.

And I'm sure your suggestions focus on love and companionship.
