Doom shifted in his seat, and his glare perceptibly shifted its focus. "A thousand apologies, then. Doom did not mean to slight you."
And then right back to Veidt, reproachfully and in the man's native German. "English would have been more than sufficient. Unless you're concerned Ms. Elness will overhear. How good of you to visit Eastern Europe -- you may be assured any difficulties with rail travel are a result of recent construction. Visitors are rarely passing through."

If Veidt's intent had been to condescend to his host, he was in for more than he'd bargained for. It had stirred long-dormant memories.
"Surely we are not discussing anything in her presence that would scandalize a trusted servant. These matters concern her as well. She will be spending the next week experiencing the natural riches of Latveria, just as you are."

"I'm going to murder you in your sleep for this, Adrian," Megan muttered.

"Just like any other guest. Latveria is a popular destination for the discerning tourist, and its policies regarding foreign guests is far more clement than those for unexpected intruders.

Doom chuckled darkly, which was a little disturbing.
"Or does that not agree with you? Is that not what you and Herr Veidt would like? You are in no position to protest."
