In retrospect, going to get high in the woods was probably a bad idea.
Not because of the obvious flaw in the plan, that Dorian was going to get high in the woods. People can't bother you in the woods and ask you stupid questions like 'how are you doing' or 'I'm sorry to hear about your husband.' It was a bad idea because his usual Maurtia Falls dealer got busted, but he knew a guy in De Chima, so Dorian had to go over to the De Chima guy and it's damned hard to smuggle drugs through the Porter so he settled on just getting high in some woods in Virginia but, whether by accident or not, he ended up rather close to the house of Gansey and the rest.
He didn't really miss Gansey, per se. He just missed what the boy could have been, if he hadn't surrounded himself with people like Adam Parrish and Ronan Lynch. Dorian's lost in his memories, walking around the familiar woods. Here was where that confrontation about the nightmare monster was, the one that attacked him, the one that Ronan had created. Did that beast still exist in this world? Or would it soon be forgotten like the rest of the raven children, the only marker of their existence this abandoned house.
People were so impermanent. Even when they were supposed to be permanent, they were impermanent. All except himself.
A crunch of leaves alerts him to the presence of someone else. "I didn't know there were any of you Aglionby brats left," Dorian says, in a loud voice, as he stands up and turns to look at...Noah? Well shit, he had straight up forgotten that Noah existed. That's the dead one, right? The lucky one.
noah czerny: de chima, the woods near the raven house
