He could tell Dante was preparing to head off just by the outfit he had chosen to wear. As the Dragon King's closest confidante, Marius knew where he might be going. But he wanted to hear it from him. 

"I am going to visit Laina, with the deer pelt as a gift," Dante explained as he readjusted his collar in the mirror. 

Marius looked at him disapprovingly, "So you're going just like this? Empty-handed?"

Dante turned around to glare at Marius before replying in annoyance, "Did you not hear what I said? The deer pelt as a gift, how is that considered going empty-handed."

He could not believe what he was hearing. Marius rubbed his temples in distraught. 

"What I meant was, apart from the deer, shouldn't you bring flowers or something?" Marius rephrased his sentence.
