Sphinx Basement: Thierry and Paxton
Paxton emerged from the Battle Arena, gun cocked and sweat beading on his forehead. He was made up as a zombie, though he had taken some effort to look like Davian as well. Paxton had wanted to actually dress up, but he hadn't wanted to entirely ruin Davian's ploy as well. He pulled it off pretty well, looking a little scruffy like his little brother, and having perfected Davian's laissez-faire scowl.
After doing their shifts at the laser gaming basement, Thierry and Paxton had gone for a run themselves, going up against a pair of Pegasi. Paxton grinned, looking up at the scoreboard. "We've won," he said, pride spilling into his voice, "and you even scored higher than me. I'm guessing those were-senses came in handy after all."
