[Typically, Dorian is one to make light of situations that bother him. If he's speaking seriously, it's not typically something that's plaguing his mind. He knows the more serious something is the more flippant he comes across. He likes it that way. If someone thinks something doesn't bother you, they can't use it against you in the event you've ever captured.

At Cisco's explanation, Dorian chuckles, shaking his head.
] Naturally. I do make quite a good first impression.

Country, and yes, though many of my countrymen also feel as though that gives them power over others, that they should rule because of the power granted them. I...disagree, which of course, makes me a social pariah, but I'd rather be a pariah than a dictator. That is, after all, how the interpret Andraste's words, "Magic was made to serve man, never to rule over him." Mages in the Imperium believe ruling is seeing that magic is serving man. Nevermind those of non-mage blood have no voice. We're helping, you see. [The last was laced with a bit of venom before he shook his head again.] And, well...in other lands, I wouldn't say mages are outcasts so much as...social stigma. Because our powers attract the attention of demon beyond the Veil, we're seen as vulnerable to possession...which we are, but we're also seen as morally weak and incapable of resisting temptation...which some are, but that's really an individual flaw, rather than a weakness of blood, if you follow.
