[Dorian's knowledge of the world, even his own, before leaving his homeland had been restricted to books. Even after heading south, he never went so far south as to see the lights now dancing across the skies here. It explained why it was so bloody cold, though.
Beautiful as it is, Dorian is not one to forget the cold, being from so warm a place as he is, but he's still equally in awe of the lights dancing in the sky. He'd once been content to read about such things, but witnessing them...
He's clutching a cup of hot cocoa himself and takes his eyes away from the sky for a moment, which is when he notices Stan. He hasn't seen the boy about before, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Still, new arrivals do occur periodically, and curiosity wins in the end.]
Spectacular, isn't it?
[Curiosity and maybe a hint of loneliness. No one needs to know that part.]
