[She probably should have anticipated that Dorian would be three sheets to the wind already. She sets down the bottle onto the floor and holds him tightly.
[ He lets Trixie drag him, very much just being a lump of a human being at the moment. It's only when they're close to his room that Dorian murmurs. ]
I wanted to break down that door and punch Misty in the face. But I can't, because I'm a fucking warden, and only inmates are allowed to make stupid decisions and massively inconvenience everybody. [ pause ] Or Taylor. But she's an inmate now so still counts, I suppose.
She's got her issues, Dorian. We all fucking do. [She can't say anything about Misty taking care of Pagan while he's in a coma, but she doesn't think she'll hurt him either.
She fucked a lot of people up, [ Dorian points out. And he fully indulges in being a mean drunk as he continues with, ] But she's a walking vegetable and she's hurt as well, so nasty Dorian gets fussed at when he points out that we are all overlooking the elephant in the room and that elephant is named 'she did this herself.'
[ Like seriously! If she was truly controlled by some outside force, she wouldn't have gotten demoted in the first place! Why is he the only person who recognizes this?
But Trixie's here and Trixie's happy to listen to him bitch so guess what? More bitching. ]
And also! Jon, Archivist Jon, he's apparently going to be a werewolf now? I don't like dogs! I just tolerate his because that's what you do when you're dating someone! You say that their kid is cute even if that child is ugly as sin and you pet their dog!
[That's...a lot. Trixie nods and hums as he carries on, hauling his drunk ass into his bedroom. She lets him flop onto his bed and starts taking off his shoes.]
Werewolf ain't just a dog, but I got your point. [It's Jon's decision though, ultimately. She just knows Dorian doesn't like the big change, and the loss of his powers.]
[ He flops onto the bed, still very much in his cups, still very much not shutting the hell up. ]
And he's going to have this stupid pack bullshit and I hate stupid pack bullshit, that sort of thing drove Godric up the wall and I don't even want this pack bullshit! I want— [ undignified sniff ] I want something penguin.
[ Someone has slid into pathetic drunk. Pathetic drunk who just really needs to go to bed. There's another little undignified sniff before, ]
'course you do. [But isn't that person Pagan? Isn't that why he reacted the way he did with Misty?]
I fucked half of Deadwood, but I want something penguin. Just want someone all my own, and I'll love them like that in fucking turn. Be theirs forever.
[ That person is Pagan and that is why he reacted the way he did but sometimes you're just a stupid baby who kind of wishes your penguin didn't have this other penguin permanently lodged up his asshole.
Dorian makes a small noise of acknowledgement before staring at the ceiling. ]
You're a good friend, Trixie. And you're the smartest person on this fucking ship.
[ He ends up passing the hell out, sleeping the sleep of the absolutely fucking wasted. After a certain point, it becomes apparent that he's passed the hell out and she's free to leave. ]

It'll be alright, Dorian. Pagan'll wake up and you can suck his johnson again and live happily ever fucking after.
no subject
I'd settle for just living happy, [ he points out. ] None of that fairy tale bullshit. Just happy.
no subject
Figure of fucking speech, Dorian. I know there's no happily ever after.

[ He yawns, straight up about to pass out here and now. Don't worry too much about those clothes, Trixie. ]

She just wants to make sure he won't wake up still half-drunk and alone.]
