( it delights dorian in a way that he's not even fully aware of to hear that. not so much the attempted accent -- which has him laughing very genuinely -- but the distinction in his title. he's fought over that so much since he arrived. no one listens. and, yes, that alistair wants more. dorian's been left wanting so much that he almost doesn't know how to react.
no getting his hopes up. he needs to remind himself of that. he didn't come here to make friends, but to do the right thing. everyone's made it clear how they feel about him, and he's content to keep his distance. it does get lonely sometimes. so, he should take the opportunity when it comes.
dorian shifts until he's mostly on his side, and propped up on one elbow. his fingers drum softly against the tarp beneath them. )
I see you've spent time on this. Ten pillows! How extravagant. Your tastes are more auspicious than mine!
