"Doom had no such intent. You, after all, are a respectable gentleman nearing fifty. You are well within your rights to indulge whenever it should please you."

Adrian's eyes narrowed.

"You've come so far from your university days," Doom said civilly. "Do have a seat."

"As have you," Adrian said dryly, sitting down.

"You have your media empire, of course, which has been quite successful, and Doom rules the most prosperous, well-ordered nation in Europe."

"Indeed," Adrian said blandly.

"The satisfaction must be immense. I trust you to pour your own glass, do not mind me."

"So fate, it seems, has brought you to my feet yet again. What do you have to say for yourself?"

"Haven't you got an archnemesis to worry about?"

"Oh, he scarcely worries me, as much as your personal demons may worry you. Richards is a craven fool, but the ultimate victory belongs as ever to Doom. How have you found the Soviet territories?"

Tybalt reappeared then and bowed, deeply, as usual.
"The girl is in her chambers, my esteemed lord."

Adrian looked up.
"Private quarters?"

Doom unfolded himself in a stately fashion, affectionately trailing his fingers across the top of Tybalt's head. Well, it wasn't 100% affectionate, but it was 100% weird to see.
"Admirable, Tybalt. She is Veidt's ever-present assistant and truckler; Veidt himself is a man of industry, and will be our honored guest here, as long as pleases me. He almost certainly speaks your language, but you are not to speak with him more than necessary. Understood?"
Tybalt understood that from the start, but Veidt needed to be disabused of any impression that his manservant was close-lipped because of any stupidity. Doom turned his attentions to the former Ozymandias then.
"Did you think you would be deprived of suitable lodging? You will be fed and clothed while here, though perhaps not in your usual style."

Tybalt did not realize he was not permitted to speak to Veidt, but he would take this into consideration now. He was also completely surprised by the cold touch of Doom's gloved hand, though he had to bury his response deeply so immediately that he wasn't honestly sure what that response was.
"As Doom wills."
