[ Walk and talk, huh. Wonder if Dorian realizes he's doing the same thing that Ashton is sure Orym would have done. They sort of push that thought aside as they start over. ]

Okay so, when I got here I ran into the old fuck, just younger obviously. We didn't get on well because I already can't fucking stand the guy and this younger him is even more insufferable.

[ He takes a deep breath as they walk, the fresh air actually is helping even as Ashton feels like they are going to vibrate out of their skin. The vibrant sparks are dimming a bit as they calm slowly. ]

I've been avoiding the guy because like...he and Barcus get along and Barcus doesn't have a whole lot of tinkering buddies so I mean...it's not my business who his friends are. I mean we're just friends. [ Uh huh. ] But i had to reach out today because...I mean other than Barcus I know the guy is a skilled craftsman and...and I had an idea for a present. For Barcus. So I can't ask him to make it so I had to ask fuck face De Rolo.
