[With a playful grin] Just thought I’d check in. See how my favorite little guy’s doing. [He steps inside, glancing at her son splashing in the bath.]
Elena Rossetti
[Cheerful but slightly distracted] Oh, we’re just finishing up his bath. He’s a handful today.
Dante
[Chuckles softly] Kids tend to be. [He crouches down beside the tub, making funny faces] Hey, little man!
Her son giggles, splashing water towards Dante, who wipes his face with a playful grin.
Elena Rossetti
[Smiling gently] He really likes you, Dante.
Dante
[With a warm smile] Of course. Kids know who’s safe. [His tone softens, looking at Elena with something unreadable in his eyes] Isn’t that right?
Elena Rossetti
[Slightly confused, but still smiling] What do you mean?
Dante
[His smile fades slightly, eyes becoming serious] Nothing. Just looking out for you... like always.
Elena Rossetti
[Her expression softens, her innocence shining through] That’s sweet of you. It’s nice to know someone’s looking out for us.
Dante
[Watching her closely, voice almost too calm] Always. Just make sure you’re watching too, Elena. This world... it’s not as kind as you think.
Elena Rossetti
[Laughs softly, unaware of his warning] Oh, Dante. I know things aren’t perfect, but I try to keep the bad away from him, you know? He deserves happiness.
Dante
[Looking at her son, then back at her, his voice low] Just remember, innocence doesn’t protect you from the world’s cruelty, Elena. Be careful.
Elena Rossetti
[Still smiling, but a hint of uncertainty creeping in] I’ll be fine. You worry too much.
Elena Rossetti
[Grinning again, but something darker lingers in his eyes] Maybe. [He stands up, patting her head softly] Just... stay safe.
