It's a bow Venom's given to his superiors many times before. Respectful, but indeed stiff. Is that how others perceive him when he thinks he's acting polite? He returns the bow lightly, as his arms are full of dragon books.

The name sounds almost ethereal, like the man comes from another plane of higher existence. That plus moving through dimensions... or maybe Venom's overthinking it as always. "A pleasure. Thank you again for helping me find these."
