*Rochester beat loudly on the door as if it would vicariously wound the room's inhabitant. He didn't care what time it was, he needed answers.*
"Dorian! Open this door!"

*Dorian opened the door, an alarmed expression on his face.*
"Rochester, is something the matter?"

*Confronted by Dorian, Rochester bristled, unable to properly express his anger. He looked kinda like a tea kettle. A mad one. Then he found a way to express it, backhanding Dorian across the face. He forced his way into the room.*
"I took you in, gave you everything..."
*His eyes widened, remembering their intimacies.*
"Everything! Was it too much to ask to keep just one thing to myself?"

*Dorian stood for a moment, his mouth hanging open in indignation.*
"What on earth are you talking about?" *Dorian asked shrilly, glaring at Rochester. Suddenly, realization dawned.* "That girl! Really, Rochester, what did you expect? And she propositioned me, surprisingly enough. Not that you'll believe me."

*Rochester wasn't thinking very straight. He was on Dorian in no time, hands about his throat.*
"Don't you say that! Don't even think it!"
*His rational mind starting to catch up, he shoved the man away, panting for breath.*
"So you don't deny it then?"

((Omgggg emo Rochester makes me squeeful and sad.))
*Dorian glared at Rochester, breathing heavily.* "Why should I? You and I are men of pleasure. A woman is a woman. What does it matter?"

((Me too. But the boy was so due for some angst.))
"She is not a woman!"
*Rochester bristled and tried to calm himself.*
"Not just any woman. She's..."
Mine.
*He swallowed bitterly.*
"I hadn't....I should have..."
*His lips tightened and his tone still held a dangerous twist.*
"I should have made it more clear. But I would have hoped you could have...exercised more restraint on those that I have taken under my wing."

*Dorian laughed.*
"Rochester," *he began in a condescending manner,* "You don't mean to tell me you've fallen in love. I expected better from you," *he scoffed.*

*BITCHSLAPS DORIAN* I RESENT THAT.
*Aphrodite watched silently and invisibly from a corner. Poor Rochester--she truly did pity him, and it was pretty hard to get her pity. She knew better than to get invovled in Mortal affairs, but something about this situation touched her.*

*His anger flared again and he swelled in indignation.*
"I...I most certainly have not! That doesn't excuse poaching conquests in another's house."
*He stared hard at Dorian as if trying to kill him using only the power of his brain.*

*Dorian matched his glare coldly, his arms crossed.*
"You didn't strike me as the type to mind," *he said.* "And I have no reason to defend myself. As I've said before, she offered, and I've never been one to turn down someone so lovely."

*Rochester's eyes narrowed.*
"How can you stand there and say such a thing? You seduced her, plain and simple. She'd never just...offer herself to you."
*He practically spat the words.*

"Come now Rochester, I wouldn't-" *He paused. That was exactly something he'd do.*
"She was very forward," *he said,* "Surprisingly so. Ask her. Or are you afraid of her answer?"

*Rochester's eye had started to twitch. Just the sheer pompousness of this man...ugh! It was infuriating.*
"Fine." *he hissed*
*He promptly stormed from the room.*
He'd see. Dorian was just asking for it.
((To make a jaunt to the other thread.))
