I know that- [As fucking improbable as it is, and despite this not being how his life ever works, they do keep finding each other. It does keep being his life. Whether on Earth or across - God - the multiverse, Toby keeps returning to him. He can't deny the man's right about that, and he doesn't even want to, when it means the vampire is standing here with his arms around him again.] But this... [he starts again, flustered] this is crazy. [Isn't it?! Of course it is. This is exactly the kind of thing Toby would choose for a moment like this - he's done it to them before.]
You've lost your mind, [he says, halfway trying to convince himself, as much as Toby] which, frankly, I get, because that's been my last eight months. But we can't just...
[Dorian breathes out, trying to get a handle on himself when Toby's thrown him so completely off his game.]
We shouldn't make a decision like this, when emotions are high and neither of us knows what we're doing here. [Right? Isn't finding the ground beneath their feet more important? Wrapping their heads around all of this and finding out how they fit together here?
He might be trying to convince himself, as he catches both his literal and figurative breath.]
