[ Oh, wow, he's suddenly at Nick's. Dorian doesn't puke, but he does look a little queasy and places a hand on Nick's shoulder for balance. Teleportation isn't something he's used to. ]
To answer your question, yes, I don't have a contract at the moment—I'm not worried, though. There are two people I'm working over. One of them should hopefully be good contract material.
They shouldn't. One of them is the angel, another is a man named Essek Thelyss.
[ Dorian bends down to offer his hand to the dog, letting it sniff him before he gives the dog a few ear scratches. ]
Of course, if Sims were to offer to take me up again, I wouldn't say no. I've spent too much time working my way into his brain to give up on him entirely.
I know how to make Sims take you up again, if you really want him.
[He hands a glass of something dark and amber to Dorian.]
I have a few books. Worthless, really, they're just Latin grammars. I can enchant one. Tell him you found it in my collection, that you'll give it to him if he signs that contract with you.
I'll keep that in mind. But I want to give him some time first—I've given him everything he wanted. It would be so much more interesting if he chose me of his own free will.
[ He gives Nick a wicked grin before taking a long drink of whatever that dark, amber, liquid is. ]
I like broken things, [ Dorian says, with a little shrug. ] Besides, he gives me what I want. I can put up with plenty of annoyance as long as I get what I want in return.
[ Dorian's eyes sparkle as he takes a drink. He loves talking about all the various people who've gotten his attention here and has absolutely zero shame kissing and telling. ]
God, so many. There's Constance—poor thing was a virgin before she met me. Thelyss tries to hide it, but I suspect there's something deep inside his repression that I can have fun with. Morrigan is...interesting. I don't know if I'd call him broken, but he's another who has potential. Oooh, and Eggsy—that's the one who belongs to your Dorian, the blonde one, but he should be able to share.
[ Dorian doesn't realize just how much 'blonde Dorian should share' are famous last words. ]
The strangest thing though is that the person who's got most of my attention isn't broken at all. Or if he is, he's better at holding it together.
Rafa. He's a vampire. Have you met? He's absolutely delightful.
[ Nick can tell from Dorian's expression that he's downright smitten. Which is a little weird, an expression that Nick hasn't seen Dorian have before. ]
[ Dorian gives Nick a very tense smile. It's a smile that implies there's a lot more behind the story than what he's willing to tell. It's also a smile that heavily implies a large dose of 'watch it, buster.' ]
I'm not in love. Like I said, I don't fall in love. He's just someone of interest.
[ says the man who's falling in love more than he wants to admit. ]
It's not going to bother me. I'm sure that when the next round of arrivals happen, I'm sure to find someone else who captures my attention the way that this man does.

[There's a a dog - a small, cream-colored French bulldog - that gets up from it's little bed to investigate Dorian.]
I hope no one who'll make a fuss about you working with me.
[He's shocked Sims didn't. He gets up and goes to pour them both a glass of something strong and dark.]

[Nick shrugs.]
He would probably wet himself to destroy it.

[It's bourbon; smooth and easy to drink, just like Nick likes it best.]

Did he enjoy it or did he make noises about his asexuality the entire time?

[Nick isn't one to really want his friends to hate other people for him, so don't get him wrong: that isn't what this is.]
The reason my library involves all the security it does is because of him. I don't know if I would say broken as much as deranged.
no subject
If he tries to do that again, tell me. I'll set him straight.
no subject
Okay.
[He takes a moment, though.]
What other broken things have your attention?
no subject
God, so many. There's Constance—poor thing was a virgin before she met me. Thelyss tries to hide it, but I suspect there's something deep inside his repression that I can have fun with.

[He laughs, and laughs again. Satan in Hell.]
Who got the most of your attention, then?
[He relaxes, gently, because Nick is fairly certain that it isn't him, unless Dorian is lying.]
no subject
[ Nick can tell from Dorian's expression that he's downright smitten. Which is a little weird, an expression that Nick hasn't seen Dorian have before. ]
no subject
[He gives Dorian a look, and he almost leans forward.]
Are you in love?
no subject
[ So Dorian thinks. He bristles slightly before finishing off his glass of bourbon and pushing the empty glass towards Nick. Another. ]
no subject
Dorian, he's a vampire. Isn't that who immortals are supposed to fall in love with?
no subject
I'm not in love. Like I said, I don't fall in love. He's just someone of interest.
[ says the man who's falling in love more than he wants to admit. ]
no subject
[He says it, tipping his chin up a little.]
On your end, of course. He could stay as obsessed as you want him.
no subject
[ He hopes. He really, really hopes ]
no subject
[Siiiiiiiiiiiip.]
no subject
[ Maybe if he distracts Nick a little bit then they'll stop talking about stupid topics like 'Dorian's feelings.' ]
I'm sure you've got a spell in your arsenal that can produce some rope.
