Atlas’ expression gave nothing away as the Queen described her daughter as incorrigible. He inclined his head affirming that he had heard the news. In a moment of lapsed discipline, he dropped eye contact with the Queen for a glance at the princess who looked irked at the mention of her behavior. The resemblance to he mother in face and hair was uncanny, but her figure was lean and lithe like her father.
Atlas returned his gaze to Queen’s face last he seem like he was ‘checking out’ the Princess too openly. In his periphery he could see the King's lanky form lounging lazily in his chair unmoving and quiet.
Atlas similarly stayed silent, withholding any of his own commentary until a question was asked of him. The question took him off guard. He hadn't expected an interview.
To buy himself a half second he said, “I appreciate the recognition. Thank you.” He cleared his throat. “Excuse me.” He kept his posture firm and steady avoiding the urge to squirm under the questioning. He was highly aware of three sets of eyes on him. Four, if you counted the canine at the King's side.
“As you are aware, I have made it my life's work to serve the Royal Family. Although my occupational experience is focused in the Navy Special Operations, respectfully I believe that my training and Naval work experience has --”
"This job is going to be a lot of micromanaging the chaotic schedule of a young female socialite.” Owen interjected. “A lot of waiting around. Following her. In other words, tedious and mind numbingly boring work. Why do you, with your background in high intensity tactical situation responsiveness, think you're suited to following a young, impulsive Princess around?”
“Respectfully, Your Majesty that would not be my mindset in approaching this work. Finding the best flanking position as she moves about in public, managing unknown variables, and mitigating risk sounds highly engaging. My tactical experience will come into play at every step of managing her safety.”
Atlas's response wasn't well received by the King whose face was an open expression of displeasure and distrust. Owen faced his wife again letting her continue on as she pleased.
