"No," Dorin admits, giving another small shake of the head, "I came out here for me." Even now, it's difficult to put the feelings that sent him running back to IRIS into words. He'd felt shaken. Too seen and too out of place and too hopelessly other to try living out there anymore. Fortunately, though, Jack didn't ask. So he's able to focus on his friend instead.
"But Noah and I went to school together for a long time. So being here together, being roommates again, it's...sort of the best." He laughs sheepishly, but for the first time in the conversation, his smile fully reaches his eyes. After a pause, he adds, "You should meet him! Come over to ours sometime. I think you guys would get along." After a second, more hesitant pause, he asks, "...Did you come here for Annie?"
While Dorin doesn't know exactly what's going on between the two of them, there seems to be something going on between the two of them. And the idea's sort of sweet, honestly.
