Pox took off his hat and lowered his beak in a respectful little bow when he was addressed.  "At your most esteemed service my liege.  Tis a honor to be recognized and a pleasure to work under your banner again."  He looked back up, lenses showing nothing to everyone, but one imagines he was smiling behind the cold bits of glass and leather.  He kept the hat folded down near his waist, and then waited to be addressed again.

It wasn't Pox's place to speak in this instance, he was among royals, and more importantly, he was among his clients.  Interposing in such matters without proper permission simply would not do.  Pox wasn't a savage after all.  It is manners that separate men from beasts.  But while he didn't speak, he did listen, gleaning what he could from the exchange.

The elf, Illyarion.  It was good to know that the warrior knew that safety and security was more important than allowing essentially civilians to go into battle.  Pox knew first hand that these were wicked and bloody affairs.  All wars were, but there was subtle differences in the hells you can be a part of.  He nodded his approval slightly with him challenging the Grand Marshal's decision, subtly quing that yes, dont make them fight.  The less people involved, the better.  Preferably there would be no fighting at all, but then he might be out of a job. 

The Knight Maryvale.  She seemed competent, she stood tall proud, full of confidence in the trials ahead.  There was a familial bond, and the Marshal saw fit that his daughter was ready for the task at hand.  Pox could detect that there was a bit of sadness to this, worry.  That was to be expected, but he was a man of duty.  Maybe the king figured his daughter was to be a true ruler one day and not someone's spouse on the throne.  It was a wise if dangerous lesson.

The Princess joined her knight in telling everyone of her readiness.  The poor dear, if only she knew, she would not be so eager on this fools errand.  Still, Pox kept his lip shut tight on that.  She had a kindness to her though, and that was something he held onto to encourage him to stay fixated on his duties.  Seeing her come to harm would break his heart.  She'd be a wise leader.

The marshal addressed him and he immediately straightened up, fulling facing him. "A most esteemed of honors my lord Grand Marshal."  he listened carefully to his expectations.  "My lord Marshal, I've watched over entourages in a dozen petty battles.  I will keep lasting harm far and away from both these brave young ladies as well as any valiant lords whom are gracious enough to accompany them so that there are as many sheilds that stand between them and the dangers ahead as possible."The Grand Marshal spoke of Maryvale's gifts and he nodded with a gentle understanding.  "There is nothing that she can do to herself that I cannot fix.  Rest well my Lord Grand Marshal.  The Apothecaries will continue to provide the service you expect." Always sunshine and flowered words with this one it seems.

When finally excused, he would bow again and place the hat upon his head.  "What a delight."  He would say, perhaps slightly louder than he intended.

"Today was another great day for Justice!!"

Following the fight, Dawn expected to meet with press, get his picture taken, play arm wrestle with children (he would let them win)  and thus would bask in the glory and the glow, but not this time.  Horizon agents and cops swarmed the scene and suddenly the call was sent back.  Dawn tried to atleast get the team together.  "Another GLORIOUS VICTORY!  Right Victory!?" He puts up a finger. "Everyone gather round.  I want to post this on MY INSTAGRAM!"  Dawn tried to get a selfie with everyone for a phone he specifically has for that purpose (and thus is reinforced to not break immediately), but they just wouldn't sit still.  He posted the picture anyway.  He always talked out loud when he typed or posted.  "Me and my friends bring Zookeeper back to the monkey house L O L.  Heartshape smiley face you are welcome exclamation point!  Hashtag stay in school.  And post.  Perfect!"  He then strikes a manly pose and joins everyone on the way back.  

"Hey, where did Witness run off to?"  He happened to mention.

And the day was saved, and before lunchtime, and while everyone else had to shower, nap, or generally go to their rooms, Dawn sends a Horizon attendant to grab his laptop, cause he'll be eating in the cafeteria in order to regale anyone who would listen, which was likely the whole tower whether they liked it or not, the whole heroics of the affair.  

While on his way, still shirtless with the dumb gray uniform around his waist.  He caught up with @Crazytazer Blizzkreig whom was on standby and missed out on all the fun.  He tried to give him a bit of an update to what he missed.  "Blizzkreig!  Am I right!?"  They only had met very briefly before but he liked him.  And not just cause Dawn had a personal code of liking pretty much everyone, that isn't villainous.  "You missed the most RIGHTEOUS of all villain thrashing JUSTICE!"  Whether Jose was ready or not, Dawn would have him swept up in the tide of story time.  "Come my compatriot!  Join me for the most MANLY of lunches!"  And off they would go to the cafeteria where most of the Horizon staff would eat.

It was apparently beer and pepperoni pizza, he placed his tray down next to the laptop that his attendant was sent to get.  Sitting across from him on the bench, the massive seven foot man began his tale, making sure to use his hands and feet to real give a picture of what happened.  "So there we were, Team Epsilon and Omicron.  And the chief was like, the ZOOKEEPERISATTACKING OMG GO SAVE US!"  he also changed his voice to emphasize.  "And Victory was like, OMICRON GO!  And I was like EPSILON GO!  And we both went careening head long in danger!  The VILE FIEND brought with him mechanical man eating mammels with him!  There was this tiger!   He raised his hands into claws *RAWR*!  And a snake!  He wriggled his body  *HISSSSSS*  And a bird!Arms out flapping.  *SQWAK* and a giant fire spewing elephantHis arm swung out over his face.  *BBBBBRRRRPPPP* and a Rhino!  ......  WITH LAZERS!  He made little finger guns.   *PEW PEW*  But we were ready!  Sleeper was like "I got this one, Sleep powers ACTIVATE" OOOOOWWWWWWEEEOOOO!  He made spirit fingers in Jose's direction.  "Shrike was like- "I got that one!"  Dawn dove under the table with finger guns *Bang bang SQUAWK*"  That last bit really got some people to look their way, and they were getting worried.  Dawn recovers.  "And then Wraith was like, "I'll heroically save the kids!"  And then he lifted a bus!  But GAD ZOOKS!  The Rhino comes right at him!  So I step in.  STOP RIGHT THERE RHINO!  And I chuck the whole thing at the elephant!  KABLAMS!  He smacked the table denting it.  "Just then is when Victory and Shift take the scene!  Shift turns herself into a bear!  A real bear mind you, not a robot one and is savaging that elephant! Then things got really exciting!"

"Witness slipped in, saving the people like she do, when suddenly the snake attacks!  She's gotta make a quick getaway, when wouldn't you know it!  DRAIG!  In the upset comes from behind and WHA-BAAM!"  He smacked his hands together.  "Snake gets it head cut off!  Meanwhile, the rhino was back in the fight, but Alkaline swoops, no that isnt the word for it, she GLOOPS in just in time to save me from a sticky situation.  But then OH NO!"  He puts his hands up as if he was lifting something.  "Elephant... Weight... crushing... every inch!  I can see my life flashing before my eyes!  But fear not my friend, its the one and only VICTORY that comes in, after dispatching the tiger with skill and grace, all was left was the ELEPHANT!  And then it went nuts!  All of us, pouding, scratching, shooting, blasting,  I swear even at one moment Shift turned into a tiger and friggin knocked the Elephant right onto its side! *CCCCCCCCRRRRRSSSHHH*"  He makes a sound like falling timber with his empty beer can.  "Finally, like a scene right out of the movies, I stepped forward.  Take this vile fiend!'  And what I did is jumped high into the air and ended that pretentious pachiderm with a positively powerful peoples elbow!  WHABAAAM!"  This time he raised his hand high into the air to simulate the stunt and drove it down.  This time it brook a chunk out of his side of the table.  He just laughed about it.  "Oops.  He smiled broadly, his stark white eyes shimmering.  "You have to come along next time Blizzkreig!  Being part of a super hero combo is like, GLORY, DUTY, and JUSTICE all rolled into a giant sticky bun of RIGHTEOUSNESS!  Awesome!"  He then finally took a breath and a bite of his lunch.

"So how did your day go?"  He also sipped his beer and then made a face before offering it to Blizz.  The beer was warm "Do you mind?"

While a conversation would occur, Dawn would apologize and make sure to take the opportunity to hit his laptop for a minute and go through his fan mail.  Its something he had to a few times a day.  He felt it was his job to read and respond what his fans were saying to him and to read their words filled him with such hope.  And sometimes he would get an email courtesy of Shrike who always informed him of some of the funnier stories he had come across.  Shrike was thoughtful like that.

In fact.  "Whats this?  A story from Shrike.  Hmm...  Dawn would then start sputtering, then he would hold his hand over his mouth and start giggling through it.  But even that could not contain him suddenly raucous laughter that filled the room.  Dawn almost broke the table again smacking it, feigning to wipe a tear from his eye.  "Oh sweet Justice these stories are great!"

He flipped his laptop over to show Joseiah.  What Dawn was looking at was a word document, and a quick couple of seconds would immediately tell it was a fanfic, one of 'those' kinds of fanfics.  This one staring Dawn and Wraith.  It wasn't a great read but Dawn seemed to enjoy it.  "Do you get these yet?  Hah they are hysterical!  I swear some of our fans and they're imaginations.  Hold on a sec, let me send this to Wraith, that should cheer him up."  Dawn had the laptop back and went to the Chatroom channel that all personel at horizon had.

He set up a chat for Shrike and Wriath ///@Shard@Metronome/// and like before, spoke out loud what he was typing.

@theRealPhoenixDawn:  Hey Wraith did you check out Shrikes story yet
@theRealPhoenixDawn:  "Our love is like the sun and the moon."  L O L (Dawn was actually giggling to himself)
@theRealPhoenixDawn:  "Let me show you my JUSTICE Dawn!  GASP your JUSTICE!  Its so far reaching and pure."  That part was the best R O F L :D 

"And send.  Hehe, cracks me up."  Dawn was still giggling to himself as he got up from the table.  "So Blizzkreig, if you are not doing anything I was going to get with Team Epsilon and have a training session for the afternoon.  You're welcome to as the kids say 'hang' with the A team if you want.  Maybe show us all a thing or two."  He tapped the comm device in his ear as he went to throw out his garbage.  "Sleeper, Decibel, Wraith, Draig.  Training session in the gymnasium in 30 minutes.  Lets celebrate our victory today with some victory laps and combat excercises!"  He seemed super thrilled at the prospect.  "There's no better way to celebrate your strength than by getting stronger!  That's what real men do!"  And yes he was fully aware he was talking to Decibel.  With that out of the way he made his way back to Blizzkreig.  "Lets see who shows up."
