[Alas, Dorian either missed or purposefully skipped out on the opportunity to paint Chilton as untrustworthy. At any rate, Toby wonders what Dorian means about people leaving. So far as any imPort knows, there's no stopping the Porter from bringing people here or returning them to their respective homes.]
Hold on. How do you mean, "people leaving"? As in, when it comes to relationships?
[A truly close and intimate relationship with Dorian Gray isn't necessarily easy to come by. For both him and Toby, people come and go so easily. It's difficult to entrust others with their secrets, the details of their lives, their perspectives as immortals, and so on.
Still, is that what Chilton had wanted? That Dorian should find and manipulate someone, and keep that person wrapped around his little finger just to prove that he could do it? That he's so much more than Chilton thinks, that he's devious and cunning and worthy of attention?
That really wouldn't surprise Toby. Still, it'd be good to know.]
