[ He lets her continue, of course, relaxing against the headboard. It feels like ages since they've been together like this, though it really hasn't been that long. Things have been rather busy as of late, so they only need to make up for lost time. ]
I don't feel the need to inflate your ego, there's nothing I want from you.
[ Which.. sounds a bit rude, but he has no need to butter her up, because he has everything he could ever want from Leilani and couldn't ask for more. He nudges her with a naked foot. ]
[ It's not necessarily like Leilani has been avoiding him. She's been hiding because she's been sad, and her sadness hasn't been getting much better. Running into Justice who doesn't have any idea who she is... It's not what she had hoped for their reunion. ]
Other than my friendship and dashing good looks to balance your own.
[ She nudges him gently, moving onto the next finger. ]
[ He cares about her well-being so much, but he's been rather negligent lately, not asking after her. Dorian has been absorbed in his own... whatever it is he has. He'd heard Justice's broadcast, and there had been an unusual number of people who have seemed to have forgotten themselves lately- it doesn't bode well for what is to come, and he can't imagine what this must be doing to Leilani. ]
Even now, it feels as though balance has been restored.
[ It's not as if she can blame Dorian. Given the fact that she's heard a little from Bull and a little from Cyril she can only begin to imagine the complicated situation emerging. It's as messy and unsure as her own love life, but at least they all know each other. Just thinking about seeing Justice, face blank and visage so different from the man she had fallen in love with...
She's trying not to think about it, entirely focussed on Dorian and his hands and the softness of his palm. ]
Maybe we should organise a best friend dinner night. Just us and a bottle of wine and some good food.

If I'm not mistaken, there is still half a bottle of some sort of red under the bed.

Do you have glasses or will we share?
