[ And a good lesson for Dorian: don't piss of the people in charge, no matter how much you might want to punch them. Really, it's almost refreshing to know this place is so much like his home. ]
I wouldn't know what else to call it, quite frankly.
[ It's all magic to him. At least it makes all this make... some kind of sense. Even enchanted gauntlets and talk of "powers." Seriously, after this, Dorian is going to take some time to himself to find a comfy chair in the library and read about all this craziness. ]
How interesting. [ Dorian considers this. Is there any wine left in his glass? He'll cast a quick look down regardless. ] And understandable, of course. It's not every day one meets a malign power that can promise you reward and actually follow through.
[ The last bit is somewhat muttered. "Malign beings that give away power" is actually not too far from Corypheus. Now that's an unpleasant comparison. But just as well, Dorian maintains his smile, turning his attention back on Erik. ]
You've given me much to think about, Erik. I thank you for your guidance, truly. [ He smirks, gesturing the area around them, vaguely. ] All this, and I haven't even offered you so much as a glass of wine. Perhaps if we meet again, you would indulge me?
[ Hey, it'll be something picked out by Dorian, not any Queen. ]
