Tybalt had halted and was now unconsciously backing up.

"Is this disagreeable to you?"

"My- my lord?"
He looked up at him uncertainly.

"You may dismiss the one, if you could not manage two at once."

Tybalt was having difficulty breathing. "Do you want me to do this?"

Tybalt's hair was sticking to his still-moist cheek, and his stiffness and alertness were all that Doom was capable of noticing.
"Doom would not provide such an amenity if you were not to use it." Was he afraid this was another test of character? That he would be forbidden the only tender company he was offered in months?

"But would this... would this please you?"

"Yes. I intend to supervise."

"...supervise?" he began, before quickly interrupting himself. "You mean - watch!"
Tybalt coughed into his hand very quickly and looked down. Suddenly he felt even fainter, heartbeat still the only thing he could hear, though now it was for a.... rather different reason.
"...I shall... be certain that... I shall try to be certain that all goes as you will it, my lord."

Yes, that had indeed been the plan, though he wouldn't have been as forthright with it.
"Good. Now may we begin?"

Tybalt lowered his eyes and hesitantly nodded.
And forced himself to be calm.

The doors opened.
Indeed, within there were women, along with a bed and a suitable position from which Doom could observe these goings-on. They weren't actually undressed, but robed very prettily, with their hair loose, and were quick to stand and greet their guest.

Both women were more astute observers than Victor was. The one with the dark hair came forward, saying things that tried to be reassuringly alluring regardless of language, and curtsied.
Doom stepped aside, noting her performance with more attentiveness than absolutely necessary. He could have nearly any woman there was. But this one was for Tybalt, however lovely she might be.

Tybalt was currently shrinking into the doorway. The impression he gave was of 'timid virgin' more than anything.
