As a warden, I should probably tell you that making deals might not get you closer to graduation. As Dorian Gray, I don't give a shit.

[ after all, Makima is interesting. and out of all the people here, Dorian adores interesting. ]

What sort of deals do you make?

[dog_lover]

Making deals is part of being a devil. If making deals won't see me graduated, then this whole thing is pointless.

And usually I give away part of my power for a price. It's hard to bargain around here, though, since so many options aren't allowed.

[brushoff]

And of course, there's the matter of me not wanting your power in the first place. [ He shrugs before pointing out, ]

Part of my immortality means that I can heal from any wound I obtain. And I do mean any.

[dog_lover]

You don't even know what I offers. So you can hardly say that. But I'm not interested in offering to you anyway. You have a contract with a devil.

That can get messy.

[brushoff]

I don't know what you offer. But I do know that I don't have much I would want to begin with. I'm young, beautiful, immortal and rich. What more could a man need?

[dog_lover]

And how lonely are you?

[brushoff]

[ Very. ]

Are you asking so you can help change that?

[dog_lover]

You already said no.

And while we could have sex, we'd both feel lonely after that. That's how it works.

I asked because I'm curious.

[brushoff]

I said no to deals. Sex is something completely different.

And yes, we would both feel lonely. But a temporary respite is better than no respite at all.

[dog_lover]

Is it really respite or is it just a lie we tell in the dark to each other that lasts until the morning comes?

[brushoff]

You say potayto, I say potahto. As far as I'm concerned? The two are the same.

[dog_lover]

Do you just want to fuck a devil?

[brushoff]

[ absolutely ]

I don't only want to fuck a devil. I also think you're a lovely conversationalist and would like to get to know you better.

[ but lemme smash ]

[dog_lover]

I'm in 214.

[brushoff]

I'll see you soon.

[dog_lover]

Just knock.

[ She'll open it almost immediately, dressed in a lovely victorian-inspired gown, in black with deep red and gold accents that shows off her pale skin and lovely figure. Nadja's influence is obvious, and she glides in it.

If he looks, there's a Dore on one side of her entryway, and a place to put his shoes. Otherwise, it's a larger (if basic) apartment living room with a couch, a coffee table, and a couple of bookshelves to one side. ]

[brushoff]

[ Snob that he is, Dorian's eyes are drawn to the art. He looks it over as he slips his shoes off and enters the room. ]

Lovely print, by the way, [ he nods. ] I'm more of an aesthetic myself, but even I can see the craftmanship obvious here.

[dog_lover]

[ She offers a smile and nods, gesturing for him to come in, please. ]

Would you like tea?

[brushoff]

I won't say no, [ he shrugs. ] But don't go out of your way unless you're making it for yourself as well.

[dog_lover]

I don't mind.

[ And she'll go over to the side table, where she has a little pot and an electric kettle. She'll fill it up and heat it as she sets up the tea pot. ]

We haven't spoken much before. Is there a reason?

[brushoff]

[ Dorian shrugs. ]

Blame it on a lack of initiative on my part. The Barge is full of interesting people. But it's also full of complete dullards. I like figuring our where people fit before I decide if they're worth my time or not. I simply hadn't gotten around to you.

[dog_lover]

So what you're saying is that I rank closer to the dullards?

[ She smiles, teasing. ]
