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.
Yes, I do. We're not going to talk about feelings, Nick. I loved once, that went poorly, it's never going to happen again. What else is there to talk about?

[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

[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.
no subject
You don't have to change the subject.

[ sulk sulk sulk! pout pout pout! ]
no subject
[He tops Dorian off.]
So who have you thoroughly corrupted, then? There has to be someone.
no subject
[ Dorian takes a sip from his glass before asking, ]
What about you? Do you have any projects in mind?
no subject
Eyelashes for days.
[Pretty thing. Nick just.
Wants to wreck him.]
He thinks he's straight.
no subject
I haven't met him yet, but I'll keep an eye out. If you want any help training him, you know who to call.
no subject
[Everyone should want to wreck Billy. He's practically oozing testosterone that it makes him an easy target.]
no subject
Though I'd make a very attractive person to be sawed in half.
no subject
I won't argue that. I'm pretty good at sawing people in half.
[He has some serious stage magician chops.]
