DORIAN
Dorian's smirk widened, a mischievous look lighting up his eyes. "Who am I to question the professional opinion of such a talented doctor? Could you be bothered to make a house call, my dear?" he asked, voice low, winking at her playfully. What a feat that would be - getting Tobi out from behind her medical texts and into a bed!
The Orator nodded slowly at her assessment of the Outlanders, the impending painful realization they were all bound to come to. But a cold, niggling part of his brain left him doubting. Could those so quick to assume fault with the most beloved people of the gods ever truly see Caido's demons for what they truly were? Or would they instead wallow in their sadness, cursing all divine beings as though they were equally to blame? Ignorance was bliss after all... "I pray that per usual you are right. It would make my job a lot easier." he said with a chuckle.
He sighed dramatically, tilting his head to rest atop hers and leaning slightly against her as though suddenly overcome with exhaustion. "It is awful indeed, but I should repeat it a million times over for the sake of our cause - such is the curse of loyalty. Your sympathies are as always the balm my soul needs to carry on!" Dorian grinned, kissing the top of her head quickly as he straightened. He waved a hand dismissively at the question of the terms that had been laid before him. "To not have to travel here by the Voice's portals, and to give spouses and children safekeeping here when the time comes." he said, rolling his eyes. "Trivial matters really in the grand scheme of things - though that seems their nature to focus upon each grain of sand rather than lift their eyes to view the scenery."

"Revenge" sounds so mean
That's why I prefer to call it:
That's why I prefer to call it:
"Returning the favor"
