Unless you want to try to be better than you base nature. [Which... this situation is proving that Jon's not, either. He stands abruptly, reaching for the tape recorder.] End recording. I need to go. We're not doing this again. I can't do this again. I'm going to tell Martin the next time you ask me to meet you in-person.
You'll be back~ [ Dorian says, in a sing-song tone, still seated. He's seen the way that Jon looks at him. There's no way that man can entirely ignore him. ]
I'll make sure to have a lovely story for you when you return. Maybe ghosts? Or perhaps the time I took on the body of someone else.
[Jon fights the urge to snap something. It will be giving Dorian the attention he wants. Instead, the Archivist circumnavigates the table, snatches up his phone and head out the door. Better to be away before the other man can remember to ask any other questions.]
[ And Dorian lets him. It's only after Jon leaves and Dorian starts pushing his chair in that he remembers he should have probably asked about that 'grand purpose' thing.

Fuck. Well, he can always bother him next time. ]
