Dante did the same, though he chose a tent well away from the rest, nearer to the baggage and the beasts. Part of it was that he did not wish to encroach where he was not wanted. This was a caravan that was neither familiar to nor with him, after all. However, he did also just want to be alone for its own sake. It was... frankly, exhausting to be around strangers all the time.
He had not thought it could be, at first. Dante had spent his childhood lonely to the point of desperation, trapped in solitude in his father's castle. At that time, he had wished for nothing more than to be surrounded by companions.
