voice; ( set after encounter with felix. )

[avaunt]

[ His tone is stiff, forced, in retrospect he should have used text alas: ]

I may not be back tonight, don't worry too much.

voice;

[arla]

[ She doesn't like the sound of that. ]

What's happened?

voice;

[avaunt]

[ A heavy pause, Dorian exhales. ]

Felix.

voice;

[arla]

[ There's a lengthy pause. ]

I...had hoped I would have found you before you met with him.

[ And she had also hoped that Felix would have softened his predicament with Dorian. But she imagines the sight of seeing his dead friend has been destructive. ]

I'm sorry, Dorian.

voice;

[avaunt]

[ He laughs shortly. ]

Nothing a few drinks can't fix.

voice;

[arla]

[ Gently: ]

Dorian.

voice;

[avaunt]

I will be careful.

voice;

[arla]

[ She knows he will be. ]

Come home safely. If you don't, I will be coming to look for you.

[ And in the meantime, she'll stay up until he returns. ]

voice;

[avaunt]

[ Another laugh, this one a little less stiff. ]

I am a lucky man to have such a good friend as you, Nasrin.

voice;

[arla]

I think it's the other way around, most days.

[ To have someone so readily accept her and care for her, no matter her shortcomings or her fears or her inadequacies... Is it any wonder why she is so fiercely protective of him? ]

I'll be here when you come home.

[ Home, because there is one place he can always go to, no matter what. She's not going to leave him. ]
