Because I was a fool who didn't think things through. Because even though I've had over a hundred and fifty years of experience, I was too cocksure and too self-absorbed to notice the very prominent warning signs in front of me.
I get the feeling you know if I told him what a big bad boy you are he'd listen to me. Just like I'd listen to him. But the funny thing is, you're not dangerous. I'm twenty-six but I know the real threats when I see 'em.
I dunno why you're posturing here but I see you and you're a lost little lamb, D.
[ There's a pause that's just a little too long before Dorian continues, with absolute seriousness in his voice. ]
I've lost every person I've ever loved. When I inevitably lose Godric, when both of us lose him, I want you to know that you could have stopped it from happening.
I'll see you at movie night, Annie.
[ because one very weird and charged conversation doesn't change the fact that they've got some Japanese horror to watch. ]
I'm not the one making your choices for you. You want to not hurt him? You tell him you're done. It's not my job to protect you from your own shitty choices. He likes you, and I trust him, so I'm gonna do my best to like you, too. He's not wrong about people.
If you hurt him on purpose, though? I'll duct tape you to a chair and make you listen to Miley Cyrus on repeat while I skin you with my teeth. I can't kill you? Fucking good, D. Just gives me more to work with. I can eat a human in four minutes flat, bet I could chew you apart six or seven times before I got full. [The warmest smile] Don't forget the popcorn.
[ There's a brief, worrying moment where Dorian looks a little turned on at the idea of all that pain. Thankfully for everybody's sensibilities, he very quickly shoves that horny on main expression beneath a practiced smirk.
He gives Annie a nod of acknowledgement before clicking off the camera.
