[ sorry this has taken me so bloody long BUT how about dorian as a fire mage/djinni/idk in charge of some magic oasis in the wastes that traps travellers and keeps all their gold and precious jewels (although actually dorian prefers books and wine) like a fussy dragon with great hair. AND THEN sinjir stumbles across the oasis in his travels and is doomed to never leave UNLESS he can persuade/trick/trade his way out of there. Idk. Magic oasis prison shenanigans. ]
yo it's shaz <3
