Dorian watched as Ivan started trying to talk to Cruz about the events that lead to his sickness. Dorian understood the theory - a few days ago Cruz did something spectacular knowing or unknowingly and then he got sick... Dorian didn't know what he son had done, but this wasn't some ordinary cold, it didn't matter what Cruz had done. It only mattered that he did and that he was sick now and he needed to survive.
Dorian was about to speak but Cruz spoke weakly, "No. Not that I remember." Cruz's hand went to his head and he squinted his eyes shut. Dorian's heart sank. He was getting impatient.
"I know the symptoms. I've seen it too many times. Why does it matter if something strange happened? He had to do something even if he doesn' t know what it is. He's sick. I've killed boys like him for less reactions to the power of the gods."
Cruz's eyes were wide when his father spoke and he shrank away from the other man. "You've killed boys?"
Dorian sighed and shook his head. The cool calm and collected man that he was, was now unraveling in front of his son. "Not personally no. But other Atharim I've set on the right track have. If I were to compromise myself in the line of duty I would not be any good to the Atharim."
Cruz looked at his father with disgust "You need to leave." Cruz didn't look at Dorian again and Dorian obliged his son, as he was leaving the room Dorian heard Cruz tell Ivan. "Nothing weird has happened." (ooc: I'm going with a fatigue relief like Rand did with Bela on a friend during a big test they were studying all night for so he wouldn't know he did it.)
Dorian went down stairs and poured another glass of wine and paced from the bar in the sitting room to the front door - back and forth.
(ooc: rest will be from Cruz's pov)
