Dorian lets out a quiet, triumphant laugh – something that says I told you so, but without uttering the words aloud.
"Let's see," he says, a hand going to his chin. His gloved finger taps against the treated cloth covering his mouth. "Well, when I was a small boy on long trips, my parents would quiz me on our family tree, or have me name every Archon in chronological order. I doubt either of those would be very interesting for you."
Evidently Dorian's parents used long trips as opportunities to reinforce his education, rather than entertain him. He hums quietly, trying to think of the inoffensive games his nannies would play with him to keep him amused.
"There's twenty questions, I suppose. You think of something, and I ask yes or no questions to narrow down the possibilities. Or word association? I think of a word, and you offer the first word that comes to mind, then we keep trading words until one of us grows bored or we have to stop the game when someone says something entirely outlandish."
