[ Sweet, kind, out of time and place. God, no wonder the two of them got along wonderfully. Minus the light part, and (in Dorian's mind) Toby was describing himself as well. ]

I suppose part of this is my fault. Lucy and I met at the swear-in before last and...didn't really get along quite well. [ Dorian was an ass. ] Had I known the two of you were close, I either would have been a bit nicer or ignored her entirely.

[ but this conversation isn't about him, it's not about him at all, Dorian just felt that Toby needed to know a bit about why Lucy might think ill of him. ]

You're allowed to be happy, you know. If you wronged her, the least you can do is give it a day or so, then apologize and try to make-up.
