Dorian pulled out his healing kit - a small thing compared to Solas's - glancing up at Cole. "Yes, I suppose I do. Vivienne is not wrong about clothes making the mage. I dress as I do to intimidate, and ... in some cases attract."

He shook his head a little, "Quite the opposite, actually. The more I care about you, the more I want to protect you. To make sure that you come home safe, to me. Selfish, that, but the truth. If I fuss, it means that little extra bit of precaution will keep you from getting killed." He looks sober, "If I do not seem like I take it seriously -- it's because it means that much more to me. If I pretend it doesn't matter in some ways, while fussing in others, then it evens out. I show you I love you, even when I can't say it."
