Once he was gone, Dorian took his seat, exuding an air of superiority that seemed to come naturally to him after years of staying as a higher-up. Even his casual wave towards Miranda felt condescending.

"Enjoying your life out here as a disgraceful woman, rather than coming back to the Hawke family?"

On closer inspection, he bore a vague resemblance to Miranda.

Miranda smirked, "Yeah, because being your family's doormat back at the Hawke estate would be such a thrill. Your mouth's as filthy as your precious sister's, no surprise there, given you all probably grew up with your heads in the dirt."

"Miranda, don't forget, I'm your own brother! Watch your language!"

Miranda chuckled genuinely, "I'm an orphan, buddy. My family records are as good as dead. So, who do you think you are?"
