The red windows paint the Director's face in crimson light, an ominous sight for the uninitiated. Doc merely leaned back in his seat, his expression hidden by his mask but still clearly annoyed.
A soldat presented a platter, sitting it on the table before stepping aside. Phobos quietly took one of the cups in hand, pouring himself a glass of what smelt like tea. "P̵͔̬͍̭̖͙̑̃l̵̲͖̽̓̾̓̇́̃͠e̴̡̛̦̤̒͑̓͂̔a̶̢͎͙̋̍͊ś̵̛̫̖́͆̓͂̚ͅe̸̜̩̝̝̮̻͗̽̑̇̈, have yourself a glass as well, make yourself at h̸̡͍̖̻̝̞̰̳̒õ̵̙͍̾̈́͌̄́͠ḿ̶̨̜͚͍͖͗̀́̉ë̷̢̳̩̭͚́͌̆́͛͠͝" Doc could tell there was an underlying meaning to that statement, but he ignored it. Just Phobos trying to get in my head. He took the other cup, carefully pouring tea into the glass.
"Of course, Director. I thank you for your... generosity in letting me speak to you." He tried to keep his tone even, to hide the bitterness at having to speak so politely to the other man. It seemed to appease Phobos, though, his grin growing wider. "It seems you haven't changed since we last saw each other."

Phobos kept his chin held high, staring down at Doc as if he was beneath him.
"When a 'god' dies twice, maybe they should reconsider their tactics." He almost smiled as he saw Phobos' reaction to the statement. Lips curled downward, shoulders tensed, it was a beautiful picture Doc wished he could immortalize.
Phobos crossed his arms, hooking one leg over the other. The sound of the safety of a gun being flicked off was a blatant threat, reminding Doc of where he was.

He shrunk back at the comment, hearing that name used so easily towards himself. Doc nodded, relaxing slightly when he heard the safety click back on. The reaction appeased Phobos, his smirk returning in full force.
