"Is that so."
Doom had more regard for those who had to learn their craft -- his own aptitude had been in part a natural disposition, but his voracious appetite for learning had filled the gaps. Men such as Magneto might disregard that, but at their own peril.

Well, Erik thought learning something was more useful than, say, a super suit or a large collection of (albeit wonderful) ultimately still very much detached toys. At least stripping someone of something they had inside proved a significant challenge.
"That is what I've gathered, yes."

"Have you encountered anyone else of note?"
Doom thought then of Tybalt, who was certainly young (seeming even younger when afraid) and certainly of note. But that wasn't really appropriate to the discussion at hand.

"Nobody of great importance."
Many people Erik had encountered in Paris were certainly... notable enough, but not very pertinent to their current plight or conversation.
"Have you?"

"Latveria has had its own share of foreigners to tread its sacred soil. But I am not at full liberty to name individuals. I am beginning to suspect the beginnings of a cosmic disturbance."
A great rift...

Well, there was something they both agreed on. Whatever was going on... it was something big.
"We have seen those before. We have always survived."
More often than not with great losses on their own part, but that didn't matter now. They were generals, not fussy mothers.

He laughed a little, darkly.
"Indeed we have. And if this is the stirring of a greater storm, it has begun innocuously enough. There will be time enough to martial our strength, and this nation has its own wards and protections..."

Erik nodded, he hadn't expected any less.
"We are strong. And shall be stronger for our combined strength."

Erik smiled wryly at that one.
"That is what history has taught us."
Not that past results ever offered future guarantees, but still... it was a testament to what they had achieved.
"And we will be their to protect those who are ours."

"Anyone who should be so foolish as to challenge us will be dust beneath our feet. Those whom you love will find a refuge and resource here, and I hope that mine might receive similar hospitality should we ever find ourselves in your neck of the woods, as the saying is... should my diplomatic immunity prove insufficient."

"Any threat great enough to be a serious danger to us may well render many existing diplomatic arrangements useless. I will, however, do anything within my power to keep you and yours safe."

"I appreciate your concern," Erik nodded.
He would have to tell Charles, of course. Eventually. Should things truly become dangerous.
For now, however... he would prefer not to worry the man he loved just yet. Not now he finally got a chance to 'enjoy retirement' peacefully.

"Then we are agreed. Neither of us seem to be particularly prayerful men, but earnest hoping may do the job just as well."
