[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.]

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.
