[A man who can balance his obligations to his duty and his obligations to his children is a man worthy of Dorian's respect, particularly one that can support the choices of their children without it being contingent on their affections. His own father could learn something from this man, which is certainly saying something.]
I'll make it a point not to tease you terribly much, but I can't commit myself to it [especially if that means the man will give him bashful smiles or grins, how can he not] you get this adorable smile when you're teased, delightful!
[While Dorian is cautious by nature, he doesn't let that get in the way of being as amiable as he can possibly be, one can spend their entire life being dour and surly, or one can find humor and levity where one can. There was no cause for seriousness here.
Being roommates didn't have to be difficult, it could be fun, Dorian would try to make it fun.]
Hmmm...such an escalation in our relationship and so quickly too, I have no problem with escalation, Regis. Dispensing with titles can be freeing...even though it's a sign of respect labels can be...cumbersome, I'm sure you're more than just a king.
[The only time Dorian has ever used titles is during role-playing when there's a mood for it, but otherwise he makes it a point to go with whatever makes those around him most comfortable.]
They are few and far between, unfortunately. The way the system is designed allows for mages to run everything, though technically the Imperium isn't ruled by mages...but technicalities have ensured that every magister is a mage. Funny how that works.
oh no worries!
