ii bECAUSE HE AIN'T NO REBEL BRAT IN UNSEELIE

[depicted]

[So Dorian was walking by, probably returning from hanging out with Jekyll, and then the man looks up at him and Dorian instantly feels like he is somehow intruding here, and he flusters, turning scarlet and stumbling in his step and blurting out a—] My apologies!

[And catching himself on a chair. And then he remembers that Aster is always encouraging him to assert himself, and he winces. Way to mess up that one. But something about Bellamy makes him feel like He Just Walked Into The Wrong Part of Town.]

Ah—rather, I didn't mean to say—[There is no recovering from this]—um—[Dorian holds out his hand to Bellamy.] My name is Dorian Gray. How do you do?

[CLEARLY FALLING BACK ONTO SOCIAL RITUAL IS THE WAY OUT]

WOW EXCUSE YOU

[anarchos]

[He stares. He stares a lot, slowly raising an eyebrow. Making eye contact with someone isn't inherently awkward, but this guy sure just swung it that way for himself.]

[There's a part of Bellamy that considers messing with him and making it worse.] Kid, don't apologize for looking at someone. [He has no idea how old the guy is, but having dealt with primarily teenagers for a while now makes Bellamy stick him fairly in that category.]

[The politeness throws him off though. When was the last time Bellamy had to deal with honest to god manners?] I do just fine. [For being in a magical fairyland. But complete strangers aren't going to get any sort of deep admittance, ok. There should probably be a name drop of his own too but ehhh he'll get to that.]

[depicted]

[Not even nineteen, Dorian flushes further at being called out like that. It makes him purse his lips, all sulking indignance.] It is a greeting. The traditional answer, at least where I come from, involves an offer of one's name and a much less aggressive evasion of the question.

[anarchos]

[As if Bellamy hasn't been on the receiving end of numerous sulky teenaged glares. He fiddles with the locket, rolling it between his fingers with vague amusement in his eyes.]

We've kinda thrown aside anything traditional where I'm from, Mr. Dorian Grey. [They're making their own traditions.] Besides, you never asked for my name, just how I was.

[Purposely not yet giving his name?? Of course.]

[depicted]

[SULKING INTENSIFIES]

[He even has to bite his lip to keep the full on pouting sulk from coming out. HE IS FROWNING SO HARD AT YOU, MR BLAKE.]

Then, sir, may I inquire as to what your name might be?

[anarchos]

[AMUSEMENT INTENSIFIES.]

[If he didn't look on the older spectrum of teenager, Bellamy might assume him younger at this point. The guy's literally pouting.]

"Inquire?" [Because really, who talks like that anymore in all sincerity? He actually chuckles a bit, but he finally deems an answer.] Bellamy. It's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance. [Was that over the top? Yes. Yes it was, and the smirk on his face comes out in his tone, giving no doubt his word choice is reflective of Dorian's. Sorry, Dorian, you're making it too easy right now.]

[depicted]

And an honour to make yours, Mr Bellamy. [WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T BE SO INSPIRING OF SULKS THEN

he legit just crossed his arms, that is how hard he is sulking right now.]

[anarchos]

[He's a very inspirational dude, what can he say??] Don't be, I'm not very honorable. [Just in case that wasn't, y'know, obvious.]

[He raises an eyebrow after Dorian adds the arm crossing flair. This kid is really too much.] I can't possibly have pissed you off that badly. Having a bad day to begin with?
