[ Venom listens for Dorian in this man's voice, but he doesn't hear it. There's nothing about the affectation that Venom finds familiar, nothing about the detached amusement that Venom can point to and say with definitive conclusion that it's reminiscent of Dorian's usual exuberance.
So he's not at all surprised when the offer that his friend's shadow makes is the replacement of his eye, the removal of his 'horn'. If there was ever a time when those cosmetic traits mattered, it was a long time ago; short-lived.
There's no bartering that Venom cares to engage in, so he continues with his progression towards the stairs in silence. Nyx is doing a three-man job with his instant teleportation, so Venom entrusts Kaz's protection to him for the time being— the nearest figure coming towards him is met with a swift one-two of his hands, real and bionic, before being bodily flipped over a shoulder.
The body crashes into some expensive-looking furniture, along with some rare-looking... whatever Venom's just destroyed. Oops.
Dryly, to the impostor Dorian: ] He's not gonna be happy that you did this.
[ Speaking as if getting his friend back is a certainty, which it is for him. ]
