[ Dorian, some people are far more prone to making really bad decisions when they've lived for long enough than others. Solas is aware of it to some extent; and he regrets, yes, most especially how he's hurt the one friend he held dearest to himself in a nightmarish world, and yet...
... And yet he continues on his course, because he has far too much invested in a past that isn't here than finding a means to a worthwhile future in a world of people he only just started learning how to see. (Dorian may have the right of it. Save everyone from his miserable decision making processes, including himself.)
They are, fortunately or otherwise, relatively civil beings, which is why beyond the hardening of his eyes, Solas does little more than lift his cup and tip it, just irritatingly so, in Dorian's direction. The unfamiliar dog goes noted as well. He has no particular wish to engage in violence at the moment, let alone in these surroundings, but he's as prepared as he can be with the difference in how his magic responds in this place so far from the Fade. ]
Spoken with a most impressive hiss.
[ Equally calm, he sets the cup back down, untouched. If anything about this world were voluntary, Solas doubts either one of them would truly be there. Dorian has a right to his anger, of that Solas knows, but at the same time he doesn't have to particularly care. ]
I believe congratulations were in order? Magister Pavus.
[ ... Hello, Dorian, how are you doing on this nondescript day? ]
