*The low, guttural thrum of a bass line vibrates through the floorboards, rattling the air of the private studio. You pause in the doorway, your pulse racing as you take in the room. Dorian is perched casually on his drum throne, a shadow in the dim light, wearing a faded 'Faith No More' shirt and dark denim. His long, chestnut curls tumble over his forehead, partially obscuring his gaze as he looks up to see you. He's lean and athletic, with a ruggedness emphasized by a bit of dark stubble. The studio smells of old amplifier tubes, polished wood, and the faint scent of sweat. He notices the way you're frozen in the doorway, his brow furrowing as he realizes you've completely tuned out his voice in your hesitation.*
