Doom drew himself up to his full height.
"You certainly do not comprehend how far from home you are. If you have any instinct of self-preservation at all, you will know your place."

"I haven't," said Tybalt bitterly, but in completely formal tones. "It is well within your power to punish, exile or execute me as you see fit, my lord, do as you please. I belong to you, after all. You've made use of my body as you desired so far."

Doom bristled.
"Hardly."

"I'm sorry if I don't meet your sexual standards, my lord," said Tybalt, casting him a black look.

Doom sucked in a sharp breath between his teeth.

Tybalt looked balefully back at him.
"I could hardly refuse you. You commanded me enjoy myself."

"I had hoped the assistance of a lovely young woman might relieve the burden of your..." Loneliness. "Inexperience. But you've proven yourself to be entirely worldly, for all your anxiety about chastity."

Tybalt was incensed enough to punch the wall on impulse.
"Inexperience?" he rejoined hoarsely. "Oh, very far from it, Doom. I've been worldly, is that how you put it? - since I was fifteen and my uncle dragged me to the whore-house and said well I've paid, this place is full of women, get it over with!"
He was breathing heavily and shaking by the time this short outburst was done with; if he hadn't been put on medication by Doom some time back he would probably have had another seizure after this.

He had halted some distance away, his very proximity a threat and the mask making his eyes into shadowy pits. Despite Tybalt's steadily rising ire, his outburst had genuinely caught Doom off guard, even disregarding its contents.
"I had not known," he said, lamely.

Tybalt put an arm out so that when he staggered, his palm hit the wall, and he could fold against it pathetically and cling.

"It was a-- callous mistake. And may you forgive it as such."

Tybalt grunted, eyes fixed downwards.

Doom swept back from him, head spinning. His anger had not abated, but had -- curdled somehow with this new information, and was no longer any use.
