[ Dokja, an asshole? He's always been nice enough to Gray, but maybe it's easier to get into quarrels with someone like Eustace, who can be a bit stoic. And uncommunicative. And curt. And back when they were all new to their new lives as walking Shards, they were under quite a bit of stress...
As to Eustace's other point, Gray is silent for a moment, thoughtful. She vaguely remembers that exodus, which was somehow both long and sudden. In a way, it's still happening. Except for a handful of people, Eustace included, the people who were impactful in her life a year ago have already gradually disappeared without a trace.
If Dokja was the last of them to leave Horos, then surely he suffered. For that to hang in Eustace's mind now, he must be deep in his guilt. ]
When he gets back, we should do something for him.
[ It might make Dokja feel better, but more importantly (sorry Dokja) it might make Eustace feel better too. ]

Is there anything you think he'd like?
