[Dorian is still in too good a mood to be bothered by Henry's expression. (But then, Dorian's moods have been so mercurial since he saw Henry on the communicator, who knows how long that will last?) He is about to speak, before he realises that the majority of his references would be beyond Henry's time.]

Taking horror stories as a point of reference will probably be helpful, with a little contribution from Eastern mythologies. And I've acquired a few kedan poetry books if you're interested.
