Dorian's breath catches when he sees him. Were he in better spirits, he might have made a show of it purely for dramatic effect, but he gives genuine pause when he enters the room and sees Brennan sprawled in front of him, asleep, book left carelessly open, and it has nothing to do with the reunion itself-- he'd been almost positive he'd find Brennan here, and it hadn't been so terribly long since he'd left him in the first place. It's how he finds him that makes him freeze in place for a moment, hand still resting on the doorknob as the door itself remains ajar behind him.

It's the fact that Brennan is whole that alarms him, makes him swallow hard before he brings himself back to the present, takes a moment to close the door behind him.

His immediate thought is that it must be Wonderland's magic at work, that Wonderland had somehow restored him, but the theory itself is quickly overshadowed by doubt. He knows how time works here-- but he doesn't want to consider that Brennan might not know all he knows. It seems inconceivable, he'd just seen him, he hadn't even departed for Tevinter again until--

He exhales slowly before venturing forward, setting Brennan's book aside and perching himself on the edge of the couch, taking a firm hold of the warrior's left hand between his own. It was solid, real, and he feels his chest tighten at the all-too-recent memory of the damage that had been done to it.

"Amatus."
