[Behold. This is not your everyday pleasant, charming, and well-spoken Dorian, noooo -- say hello to your not-so-friendly neighborhood irascible Dorian. He’s not above sarcasm and friendly banter, but short tempered is rare for someone so practical and cordial…and yet.]
So we’re the bad guys, the root of all suffering and evil blah, blah, blah…now where have I heard this tune before? Oh right, partiality as old as the Maker himself…and yet they’re not above lying, manipulating, torture, brutality, and theft [theft gets its own special emphasis for very specific reasons] they don’t kill, they don’t imprison, such unique little snowflakes they are. I’m certainly not seeing any of their own in here for transgressions committed, because they’ve been flawless hosts I suspect. Venhedis kaffan vas.
[He’s so irritated that it’s difficult to tease his sarcasm apart from his true irritation.]
Of course, I could be wrong, the little pack of Savrii that assaulted me unprovoked could have been a fever dream, it’s possible. Not bloody likely. But possible.
[So what’s brought on so much agitation? Well, for anyone who knows the mage, they know he’s something of a drunkard and a drunkard without wine is being forced to dry out. Right now, he’s only agitated…small mercies.]
As an aside has anyone taken stock of all of our resources, they’re still feeding us and supplying us with some things, yes? I need more than that to keep myself occupied -- books, cards, music, writing materials…any-bloody-thing really.
[His voice isn't shaking at all.]

neurology is the worst so sorry for my super lateness
Of course it's part of the reason they are here now, but this was his Inquisitor, Dorian was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.]
I...am sure you had your reasons, though you did mention something about your memories, I'd like to hear more if you don't mind?
no worries!
[It takes a while to gather his thoughts, again. Hard to piece together the chronology for himself anymore.]
Someone innocent took the blame for it in place of the real perpetrator. [He's not naming names on purpose. A strange concession in exchange for all this detail, that he's never really discussed with anyone else before. But there's something comforting in talking to Dorian again. Reassuring. Familiar.]
She was arrested by the Savrii and vanished for weeks, with no way to contact her. I attacked the Ingress because, I suppose, I thought it would give me an opportunity to stage a rescue in a blaze of glory and save the day singlehandedly.
[His voice goes flat, toneless, like he's reciting something rather than making a genuine confession.] I nearly caused everyone here to freeze to death for the sake of my own ego. Now you know. Those were my reasons.
