Taken a bit by surprise, Alex was quick to respond to her words, grateful for them and glad for the respect that Asgard seemed to have for him, his his devotion to the cause and in the way his actions distinguished the Justicars. "Thank you ma'am," he replied with as much a nod as he could manage. Well, it seemed that this situation would soon be under control, if Asgard herself was willing to get involved. Good luck to Carton now. He would need it to escape the head of the Justicars and Alex himself. With the assets they had, there would be no place in the world he could hide. He wasn't sure how to take her statement when he finished his story, if he should be worried for his current employment status or not, since her tone didn't indicate whether she approved of what he was saying or not. He certainly hoped so, but if not, then he would just live as he could and try to find work elsewhere, maybe become a private detective or something. To be hones the hadn't really thought out what he would do if he wasn't working for the Ultimatum. Still, he seemed to have sparked something as Asgard got a distant look in her eye, ignoring him entirely as if reliving some past memory, sparking his concern and wondering what was going on. He waited for a good ten count before speaking up. "Um, Ma'am," he said with a cough. "Are you alright? You seem distracted."
