[ That’ll get his attention. She moves and cuddles up under the blankets, making herself extra warmth for her poor chilly friend. Her hand might be cold but she warms fast; it’s why she’s the best for Dorian to hug. ]!
I thought that might interest you. [ She smiles, leaning up to brush hair from his face, awkward with one arm but done all the same. ] Is it wrong to feel proud for introducing a spirit to sex?
You'd do better to forget him, you realize. [ Not Justice, naturally. Of course, the pot is calling the kettle black whether Leilani realizes it or not. ]
[ He rests his head against hers and sighs wearily. ]
..I was in a rather similar situation. Before I came South, of course.. [ He lets out a hollow laugh. ] Before my father attempted to use blood magic on me.
[ He's willing to tear his own heart out for her sake. He speaks so little of home, while simultaneously speaking a great deal, though saying nothing. ]

no subject
[ Reaching up, she keeps messing up his hair before smoothing it back down, almost idly. ]
No, no, he was very dedicated to his education. I'm quite pleased.
no subject
Yes, I'm sure you were-- or at least I should certainly hope so.
no subject
[ She just smiles at him. ]
I think... He’s happy, at least.
no subject
And what of yourself? Are you truly happy, Leilani? [ He reaches over to brush the back of his fingers against her face. ]
no subject
[ But, ah. She leans into his touch and hesitates. ]
I’m happy enough. Isn’t that all that can be expected?

I am trying. Some things are harder to forget. Dorian… It was so much. I love him. [ A pause. ] Loved.
no subject
[ Quietly. ]
A part of you still loves him. Why else would you want to save him from himself?
no subject
[ She rests her head on his shoulder. ]
It’s not the kind of thing that I can stop, no matter what we might want.

[ She holds him closer, leaning up to kiss his forehead, holding on and offering her unwavering support. ]
Do you want to speak about it? You don’t have to, we can just sleep.

[ She laughs softly. ]
If you want to tell me, Dorian, I’ll always listen. I will always be here.
