As Dahlia sauntered into the clearing, her movements fluid, predatory, and alluring, Dorian's gaze lingered on her for a moment longer than strictly necessary. He couldn't help but appreciate the way she moved, every step a calculated dance designed to captivate; clearly she'd been testing the limits of her new form with appreciable results.
As Pierce approached, Dorian acknowledged him with a nod, his gaze meeting the once-enforcer's with a subtle respect for the fighter's unspoken prowess in his new shape. When Vox drifted into view, his ethereal form passing through Dorian as if he were but a wisp of smoke, Dorian suppressed a flicker of annoyance. Vox's incorporeal nature always left him feeling unsettled, a reminder of the spectral abilities that set him apart from the rest of the Family, even now. Despite his reservations, Dorian offered Vox a nod of acknowledgment, masking any hint of discomfort behind a veil of cool composure.
Clearing his throat to draw their attention back to him instead of Vox's shenanigans, Dorian lifted his chin. "I've been keeping an eye on the proceedings in Torchline." He began, his voice carrying a note of smug satisfaction. '"It seems Caido has been putting their strongest champions to the test, right in our front yard so to speak."
Folding his arms over his chest, Dorian continued, his words measured and deliberate. "From what I've witnessed, it's quite clear that even Vox could take down the majority of them. There are only a handful that pose any real concern to us, and our darling Dahia has already taken care of one of them."

He'll rekindle all the dreams
it took you a lifetime to destroy
