Alternate Universe Flashback: 12 years ago, differently.
It had frustrated Doom, letting them walk away like that. But in these particular circumstances, any other action would be beneath him. Doom could wait for another time. That was the kind of Great Man he was. Kristoff loved him so much.

Kristoff, as usual, was as much of service as he could be in all the minor matters that needed attending to in the aftermath. Once it was all done, it was explained that there was something important he needed to be told, someone he needed to meet. That there would be a few changes and that Doom was confident Kristoff would deal with them in a satisfactory manner. High praise from the Master of Latveria.

Kristoff dressed for dinner and arrived early...to find more place settings than usual, and his own usual chair...occupied.

	There's a very small sound Doom makes, and it's not obviously displeased. "You will have much to learn," he says evenly. Then he looks to Kristoff. "Your involvement in his scientific education will be useful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kristoff sits in silence for a moment at Vincent's statement, the part of his mind that can see the intent quickly smothering the outrage at the five-year-old's pouring metaphorical lemon juice on the wound in his pride from his loss of position. "I intend to do my best." Masterful little thing. Kristoff nods. "As you wish, of course, Sir." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vincent relaxes slightly as he seems to have been given a momentary pass. His face eases, and he looks to Kristoff. "I imagine your lessons will be most illuminating. My father has told me I show signs of his aptitude for the... scientific arts."

The phrase is not one that seems to come naturally to the boy. He speaks of it as if something bitter has crossed his tongue.

Kristoff's eyebrow starts to raise just slightly, but before he can have any response to this, dinner is actually served. Doom, of course, merely drinks his wine. The food will wait until he's dismissed them from the room. There's a Way Things are Done at dinner, and since Doom asks no direct questions during it, Kristoff eats in silence except for the occasional comments Doom decides to make on various subjects.
