Dorian's foot shoots out in front of him as he feels an impact on his back. The motion keeps him from falling over at the sudden hugging attack from his new ward and Dorian smiles lightly at the obvious playfulness of the young man. [i]'Looks like he is not one to wander off or be on his own for long now that he has someone. I do not suppose he will leave the cave alone in the morning, but I do hope that his excitement will not keep him up late into the morning'[/i] The firm body pressed against his back suddenly shifts, sliding around so the two vampires are face-to-face.

The young willing body is once more pressed against him, but as he looks down into those playful blue eyes he can not help but relax into the embrace a bit. [i]'He's really happy right now, and that is good. I should let he be happy for now. I guess he feels more at home out here. . .'[/i] His thoughts trail off as James pulls him towards the cave, his voice sounding low and slightly rough. He can feel the energy building in the youngster, his almost giddy spirit shining through his eyes.

He looks at the cave carefully as they walk in, the taller male having to duck his head a bit as the move further in. Once around the bend Dorian feels his body spin and knocked backwards. His natural graces make his landing soft and he lets his body relax as the maniacal laughter rings out from the younger male's lips. [i]'Oh dear, this goes beyond playful'[/i] he muses as James mounts his lap and settles in. He raises an eyebrow at the young one's words and groans slightly as James messes up his hair. [i]'A part of me wants to teach him that treating me this way is not proper, but on the other hand, he really seems to be enjoying himself'[/i] 

His eyelids lower to half mast when James pulls his own hair free, the effect making him look to be his old wild self, but with less madness behind his gaze. Dorian is quiet for a time, one hand coming up to brush through the little one's hair gently while the other comes up to settle on James's thigh as he looks deep into his ward's eyes. [i]'Such a wild little thing, and so wanting of things. Such a need for everything it wants'[/i] The fingers in his hair tighten ever so slightly and Dorian tilts his head back, exposing his neck for the young man to feed on should he wish. The hand on his leg is still save for a light brush of his thumb as it moves back and forth out of instinct more than any will the elder vampire may have at the moment.
