"Now you know that's not an answer," she teased as they danced. "I'm pretty sure a lot of people in MLE were a lot more open before whatever happened to make them join...though not all." Some were still annoyingly eager to please.

She looked out at the other dancers with a small smile. "When you're a kid you make all these grand plans and fantasies as to how things will be when you grow up. So many things change to alter those. Some for the better but mostly not. I've always believed things happen for a reason but lately...I'm beginning to doubt that." For example what was the reason behind all the people she ran into that back stabbed her or led her on. No wonder she had trust issues.
Dorian raised an eyebrow again as Laurie tried to call him on not answering her question. "You hadn't asked for specifics," he pointed out. Most of his personality hadn't really changed after the incident, not really. People just didn't see it as often. "I wouldn't say everyone from MLE is particularly closed off, either. Generalizations don't suit us, it seems," he continued. he could name several people from their half of the offices who had seemed quite open to things. He'd called half of them on their ridiculousness more than once, although it hadn't gone further than that. The cult business had taken all their focus off of trivialities.

Her musing had sturck a different chord, however, and he wondered if she had in fact known his past before asking. By what she was saying, at least, but then it seemed personal to herself as well. He wasn't the only one with darkness following him, it seemed, and he watched her for a moment as they continued dancing. "I think it's more reality setting in, forcing us to adjust those grand plans to fit the path we're made to follow," he said. "Reason only means that we mad esome sort of mistake that we're being punished for." He knew the mistake he'd made, not reining his friend in before things had gotten where they had. Unfortunately, his own punishment had been the death of his light, and he hadn't found another.
