[Gently:] No. It is something I can neither understand nor imagine.

[Not the way Louis and Ethan feel it, anyway. Dorian has seen a lot of violence, men who would be executed if they refused to fight a rich man's war, but it was never a sort of possession like this.]

You do make me think of him, sometimes. More...cerebral, I suppose. He is far more cultured than he is willing to let on, but his preference is still that which he can do and experience for himself.

[A trait Dorian shares, which might explain why he was less tolerant of Louis.]
