Who indeed? Dorian drank in silence for a moment reflecting on his own transgressions. Fatherhood had never been good to him - his own father was a traditionalist. Liking men had never gone over well. Marrying Ana had saved him that family disgrace - having a son only made it even better. But if not for his own manipulations in the thing he wouldn't have either. He'd still be in the family business though who's to say things would be any different given the choices. He still would have married out of obligation and had a child even if it were 'out of love'. Ana didn't mind. She got what she wanted out of the deal - and now that Cruz of was of age and vice president of Jivana his father's leash was lessened. If not gone.
He'd never been much of a father to Cruz. At least not until Nox showed up to teach his son how to be a god. Cruz took to it like a fish to water - Nox even refrained from teaching his son battle weaves. He focused on other things - things outside of his ball park but still the boy picked up a few things. That had been apparent when his own saved his life.
But he pushed the thoughts away. Drink was here and lighter things should be had while sitting in a bar losing ones inhibitions to the drink. "What tale brings you here? Romance? Death? or just general oblivion?"
