[Dorian had the concept of hard light explained to him once before, but until he becomes entirely familiar with technology, the concepts behind such things wouldn't register with him anyway. Magic and history were his areas of knowledge, but that didn't mean he had no wish to alleviate his ignorance on the matter...the more you know.

[Ah, well, Dorian wasn't entirely comforted, but the weight of Kazuhira's hand on his shoulder was, something at least and he reached up, giving him a consoled pat on that fascinating hand.] You ought to reward me, that should make up for the worry you've caused.

[Though judging by his typical sassy demeanor and the ever present smirk on his face suggested that he didn't really blame Kazuhira for anything.]
