So, you're a blank fighter, meaning you did not have this naturally occurring mark on your body as an identifier, and you were chosen by someone who carved this mark into you?
[That was the gist of what Dorian was understanding anyway. Dorian does want to understand as much as he can, especially if he wants to be able to help Soubi in the event of an incident.
Still, he can see that this is a very difficult conversation for him to have just by the way the younger man curls in on himself in the corner.]
Hmm...I'm here and I'll protect you...but I can see it's a bit much and we can leave it if you like.
[Soubi snubs out his cigarette and leaves it in the glass he's been using as an ash tray. He picks up the discarded bandage to wrap it around his neck again, winding it carefully. Even when the scar isn't exposed, it's still like wearing a collar. A constant reminder.]
You said you need your voice to use spells, that your spells are verbal? Is that how you know what your counter spell will be.
[Dorian doesn't require any verbal cues to cast a spell, it did make battling other mages something that was quite strategic. Dorian also understood the mechanics of this world where not all abilities worked the way one imagined, but Dorian came into this world with a select set of abilities that...clearly this world liked and left them completely intact.]
You're right [Dorian said in a very chipper voice] it's anyone who attempts to hurt you that'll need protecting.

It's not me who needs protecting.
