Dorian rubs his temples from the headache that the Dark Ones presence had gave him before sighing, "Well I like that. Stick me in the front, eh?" He smiled at Damien and Elohim. It was rather a cold look. "In my time generals did not lead from the front," he chuckles. "Oh well. I could do with a bit of excitement."<br/><br/>He cast a wary glance at Corrine. The clockwork toy, the goddess, and the undead demon never fazed him. He could easily run circles around their pedestrian selves. After all they were but monster's no different than him. But the young immortal was of a different sort. 'More power in that one than all the rest of us put together,' he muses. 'And I for one do not want to be around when her fragile mind snaps.'<br/><br/>Dorian did not know what made the girl's presence scream warnings into his mind, but he understood that she was dangerous. Her little show there, just then, of weakness. He watched like the stratigist he was, pocketing the bits of information he was learning about her just from her mannerisms. In his centuries of life he had seen much and learned even more. He could tell that the girl had just come close to losing herself to her own power. He resolved to learn more of her later.<br/><br/>"I agree Corrine should be in the rear but with Elohim nearby," he speaks to Damien while never looking away from Corrine. "I have no taste for the puppet but at least if Corrine should... ahem...lose her tightly bound control. The toy," he waves dismissively Elohim, "can silence her before she does any harm to us." His tone is cold like that of one who had just ordered his evening meal, not one who had just contemplated having a new ally killed by another.<br/><br/>"So that leaves our little goddess in training. Our perfect little escape plan." Dorian turns to the pouting Sayuri. "Her ability to open portals to here will be our exit if things go badly, understand Damien?" He turns to look at the large demon again. "So why would you allow her to go running around by herself, getting into trouble?"<br/><br/>"Oh and you think you can behave this time?" He smirks at Sayuri before going to flop down in his chair again with a broad smile.
