Dorian obviously looked uncomfortable, and Riker honestly wanted to do something. Though at the same time, Riker trusted that his friend knew how to handle the girl by himself. Especially with Elodie revealing they’re just… friends with benefits. Probably. So instead of doing anything, Riker simply patted Dorian on the back - leaning in with the whisper “let me know if you need me,” leaving his lips. Dorian had Riker’s back more than once, and perhaps this was simple repayment of a favor. Though even without it, Riker would have been there for his friend.
As his attention turned back over to Elo - a soft smile graced his lips at her reaction. “I don’t know about best… they may thank you for taking away the most annoying person they know though,” Riker responded to her commentary, nodding as she replied to him about Jordan - though not turning to see who he was with… as long as it wasn’t Jezebel, Riker didn’t mind. However, his smile was soon met with a laugh when Elo told him that his body was “better” than hers. “Bull,” Riker muttered, though before he could say anything else - Dorian had stepped in to talk to Elo. “Aright, I guess that is my sign to get back to my group. I’ll see you two twins later,” Riker added, mumbling “good luck” to Dori as he eyed Emily before heading back over to where his group was gathering.
