Dorian catches the soft fall of footsteps, but it's the familiar voice that really draws his attention. And when he turns and sees Orym, a smile spreads across his face. The last thing he remembers before arriving in this world was was falling asleep with Orym right after they had spoken of the feelings between them. And while there are still things to worry about back home, he can't help admitting that he was glad the halfling was here too.

"I always enjoy your company, Orym," he says softly. This thing between them felt a bit uncertain and fragile, almost like the days when they were first getting to know each other. But it was also exciting and thrilling, as he lets himself feel the rush of desire and affection that he'd always been afraid to before.
