🐺: Like I said in the game when I was half out of my mind 🐺: I'm not gonna let this place dictate who I can be friends with
Dr. Doctor: Nor I, truly. They can pit us against each other during games, but how we behave on our own time is up to us. Dr. Doctor: That is why I look forward to spending some time together. Dr. Doctor: Dreams only sort of count, you know.

He and Zari were obviously living together in that dream, and he was maybe-unhealthily devoted to her. Aster definitely had him confused for someone else. Doctor had seemed more fully aware of what was going on, but... Lupine definitely hadn't bothered with the thing he usually likes to say before he gets that kind of intimate with someone.

[ Look, he doesn't wanna assume you're asking him out on a date, if he's wrong that's embarrassing for everyone involved, but he definitely wants to check the temperature of this request. ]
Dr. Doctor: I fear she may have praised me beyond my ability to live up to, but I will certainly do my best. Dr. Doctor: Mostly I'm just glad that she's happy.
