[It's been a few busy days of settling into the (relative, because it's no theater of war but certainly not a picnic either) insanity of the city, which means Dorian's starting to look in on the people he's met that he actually likes.]
How are you doing, Larus? Taken up journaling yourself yet?

[More like trying to find out how the vampire's dealing with the stress of their situation in a callback-ey sort of way. (The attempt at being clever doesn't seem to have worked.)]
I haven't had any time to do anything besides figure out my surroundings. You and the rest of our incoming cohort can sympathize, I'm sure.
How are you holding up?

[ he supposes that makes sense, and eventually, larus decides to just call him. hearing his voice might help to settle things since he finds it an oddly pleasant thing to listen to. dorian has a way of speaking that he likes, he realizes. ]
I'm sure that must be difficult considering where you're living. [ dry, teasing almost. ] I'm fine. I don't really need to make use of their housing as much as some do. How are your surroundings treating you?

[A call is a pleasant surprise. Larus sounds like he's doing well enough, too, although a lot of that's an assumption on Dorian's part based on the teasing and poking at his aestheticism.
...But at the same time, if someone's going to give him an inch to complain about his accommodations, today he'll accept.]
I've had worse, but I've also had much better. It's going to take more funds than I thought to replace anything in my suite. Regardless of my feelings on the matter, I'm not far off from needing to look for work in this place. [It's uncomfortable to not have scads of ready money to throw around, but he's adapted before and prepared to do so again.]
If you haven't been using your room, where have you been?

MEET STEFAN SALVATORE! YOU TWO SHOULD TALK ABOUT NONCON ❤️🔥
[ larus wonders if dorian is used to having money at his disposal and never working for it. it's what it sounds like, but he doesn't feel inclined to ask right now. after all, he had come from money, but he'd never wanted anything to do with it because he couldn't stand his father. ]
Here and there. I want to really know this city, so I've spent several days mapping the Down. [ there's a pause as he considers offering more truth than that. ] I also watched that building you're in for a while. Just to see who comes and goes.

Because I what?
( oh. what the hell? he does not want to talk about nonconsensual acts, especially after spending weeks nonconsensually under Klaus' thrall. what is this and how does he get this to stop. )
That's neither for me. I think we were matched up without our knowledge. I apologize if you were expecting someone hornier. ...And nonconsenting.

Me neither. This link up doesn't seem to care.

you should probably get used to it.
this place wants you to meet people and be uncomfortable at the same time.
[ said like he's been there for eternity when, in reality, it's been a very short amount of time. ]
i'm larus, by the way. since i know your name.

I got the message at orientation. I avoided the more physical activity.
( no to casting his dick. no to making his body be one of two paintbrushes. )
It's Stefan.

What did you experience that made you uncomfortable?
( well, he's curious. )
What do you mean, bit?

I never said it made me uncomfortable. I'm just trying to understand what you were made to do. Is the person you bit okay?
