Is that expression supposed to change my mind?

[ Because, spoilers- it’s not. ]

[brushoff]

I'm very cute and useful and sweet and you should do things for me.

[anti_altruisms]

While I’m sure you do enjoy telling yourself that, that doesn’t mean I’m going to do this particular thing for you.

[brushoff]

Spoilsport.

[anti_altruisms]

Someone has to be.

[ Archer looks pointedly at Dorian and his…swimwear. ]

I’m sure Kirei has left the Enclosure by now so you can get back to whatever you had planned.

[brushoff]

Sunbathing! [ Dorian explains, with a grin. ] Granted, it's not the real sun, but I'd look horrible with a tan to begin with. I'll take what I can get.

[ A pause before, ]

Care to join me? Or watch. I'm not picky.

[anti_altruisms]

[ Ah, vanity. Something Archer has never understood. ]

I have somewhere else I need to be, actually.

[ That 'somewhere else' is his cabin because fighting Kirei does actually tire him out. ]

Another time, maybe.

[brushoff]

Another time eventually, [ Dorian corrects. ] Not maybe. I'll wear you down sooner or later, Archer.

[anti_altruisms]

[ Archer quirks an eyebrow at that. ]

I'm not going to be just another notch on someone else's bedpost, Dorian. You would do well to remember that.

[brushoff]

You wouldn't be, [ he says, looking over at Archer with absolute seriousness. ] Others might. But not you. I'm not going to demean Godric like that.

[ The vampire might be gone. Dorian might have moved on. But there's always going to be a part of him that still loves the man. ]

[anti_altruisms]

I would also hope you wouldn’t want to demean me like that…but I do understand.

[ And he’s appreciative of the sentiment. ]

Enjoy the rest of your evening, Dorian Gray.

[ And with that, he’ll take his leave. ]
