[Orym wants to argue with him that that is exactly why he has to go. Orym will never forgive himself if something happens to Dorian for his sake, for staying by his side. But he's not strong enough to argue; he's scared of how far he's fallen, of how he can feel so much of himself slipping away. He doesn't want to be alone.
He wants to wrap himself in those words, in that love, to wear it like armor against the thing inside him.]
I'm scared, Dorian.
[Not for himself so much, though that's frightening too. He's frightened of what he'll do when he starts to slip away completely, scared of hurting the people he loves.]
