jfkdl dude dante and tatsumi are just old man camp trolls. like seriously, i feel that most of their conversations are just them trying to make the other kind of uncomfortable. but there's also that odd layer that's like "oh, i kind of find you attractive, let's have a battle of possible troll wits." in a way it's fun, it keeps dante's mind off of certain things, and it helps him adjust a little more and deal with camp better. he's in a weird place where camp's authority is really starting to make him antsy, so babbling with tatsumi, and making a little bit lighter of his issues with authority in camp kind of makes it easier.

SO IN A WAY IT'S REALLY GOOD FOR HIM? it also keeps him sharp and doesn't allow his wits to drag, which sometimes he does because he really just doesn't care what other people are thinking about him.

God, it is like this unholy blend of the odd couple, the two old Muppet dudes and second-grad pigtail pulling. Plus sexual tension. Tatsumi does this thing where he'll be kind of a dick, in an impersonal sort of way, but, on a whole, professional when dealing with people in general... but he's just. A terrible person to people that he likes. Unless they're very much kindred spirits who are more sort of commiserating chums, he just... gosh. Seems to show affection by mocking, bullying and trolling people as much as he can. And then cooking dinner for everyone or something. IT'S SO EMOTIONALLY MATURE.

I think that Tatsumi sees Dante as being like a co-worker, though in that loaded Yami no Matsuei sense of "co-worker," where it becomes this funny little family-esque sort of thing that is sometimes not all that close but also sometimes kind of incestuous. And that's really... a comfort to Tatsumi, because he was working as a shinigami for, like, half a century and then that predictability was suddenly gone and now there's the possibility of never going back to it and the future is terrifying if he thinks too hard about it.
