He doesn't mean to; it happens against his will. A beautiful creature appears from nowhere, takes him in arms, and pulls him close. Of course he smiles. His king, his servant, his magnanimous and tyrannical Gilgamesh. Dorian does adore him.
And then he remembers where they are, and who he is with, and what Gilgamesh has made Hermione suffer in the past. The smile drops away in an instant, replaced by a harsh frown.
"Peter Pan emotions it is." He reaches for Hermione's hand again, wants to reassure her. Gilgamesh may be Dorian's Servant, may hold in him all possibility and so a kind of infinity that Dorian is in love with. But there is one thing that Gilgamesh will not offer. One impossibility for him to give.
Hermione is Dorian's friend. There is nothing Dorian values more.
I am curious, Dorian admits to Gilgamesh across their telepathy, But Hermione won't be grateful for your company. Not after what you did. "Perhaps you should leave for the moment, Gilgamesh."
