Themis certainly would never call taking down youma fun - a good workout, through. But that was something he did because he felt like he had to - there were very little fights he had that he would have remotely qualified as 'fun.'
Most of the times, it was the getting still/disabling part that was the hardest, once that was done, well...
Themis was right where he needed to be, the experience of the last 8 months helping him along - and then the monster was gone, all but exploding into a cloud of dust.
The creature wasn't moving, and Dogsby was calming - both good things, as far as Daniel was concerned. He couldn't help but jump a little when the thing suddenly went up in... well. dust. Dust ?
How strange...

Camelot pulled his arm up on instinct to block the dust from getting on him, having breathed far too much youma dust for his own liking, to be honest.
He sighed, and looked at Themis, offering his good hand.
"Thanks for the help. Might not have gone as well if you hadn't shown up when you did," he smiled. The youma had been able to pin him, after all, so there was no telling what might have happened to him if Themis hadn't tossed the thing off. He might have scrambled his way out or, more likely, gotten his shield arm ripped off.
It was already smarting quite a bit, and he was going to be sore once he powered down, certainly.
Camelot looked toward Daniel, spotting him hiding and seeing Dogby safe in his arms. He sighed in relief, for both counters, pardoning himself from Themis so he could trot over to Daniel and check on him. He knew he could have done the classic 'super hero runs off after job is done' thing, but he preferred to make sure everything was alright, not just that the youma was dead.
"Are you hurt?" he asked, his expression soft and worried. Dogby whined.

"No problem !" He wished that there was a possible line of contact there... But he figured that if Camelot had a phone, he would have asked him about it.
Themis then turned and left, unaware that there had been a civilian watching all along.
Daniel looked up when Camelot came toward him, clearly a little uncomfortable - well, he was hiding in between a dumpster and a wall.
Was this one of the terrorists ? He'd saved him, so he wasn't going to hurt him... right ? "I-Im fine." Well, he hurted from when he'd been tackled, but beyond that...

Camelot nodded his head, relieved. He offered him a reassuring smile.
"That's good. You should be safe now, to walk home if that was what you were doing." His eyes fell to Dogby, patting her on the head like he didn't know her. She nuzzled his hand eagerly.
"Cute dog. Ah. Well. If you are both alright, I should probably go before I'm spotted. You're sure you're not hurt, right?"
He took a few steps back, watching the other just to be certain, then hopped up onto the side of the library and climbed up to the roof. He disappeared, pretending to go running off, but he actually moved to the roof exit, a door that was usually locked, removing the rock that was keeping it open and slipping inside. He was learning, it seemed, how to get in and out of the library without being spotted. Of course, now he would have to explain how and when he had gotten there, but that would be easy enough.
He powered down and wandered down to the second story, hoping Daniel would come in looking for him, to return Dogby to him. His arm was killing him, though now it was in its cast, and he just wanted to go home now.

"Y-Yes, im fine." Dogby didn't seem to mind this stranger, but then she'd never seemed to, didn't she ? No, she'd all but assaulted him the first day he had seen her and, being a lover of animals, had been more than happy to spoil the little girl rotten with attention and pets.
Then the odd man left, and Daniel was left staring at the spot where he had been for a moment, as if asking himself if what he had just seen was real. "Well..." He wriggled his way out of his somewhat smelly hiding place. "We better go find your master now, shouldn't we ?"
He didn't even dare put her down. He just carried her all the way, back stepping into the library, though not without looking over his shoulder carefully.
"Mr Darrow ?" He called out.

Dogby wiggled, though she didn't know what the words Daniel was saying meant. She was just happy to be going back inside. Inside had people and lots more pettings and no giant scary monsters.
For the most part, at least.
Tony was, conveniently, just coming down from the second floor. He looked at Daniel in 'surprise', then at Dogby.
"There you are! I've been looking all over the place for her. I thought she was hiding! Where was she?" He looked concerned, moving over to them. He noticed how rumpled Daniel looked. "Are you okay? You..."
Smelled like garbage. He opted not to point that one out. Dogby was trying to get to him and he carefully moved to take her into his good arm, his other one not interested in doing much of anything. It meant shifting his cane onto his wrist, but he had long ago mastered hooking it onto his arm when he needed his hands.

Ah, there he was ! Hadn't taken that much time, thankfully, through..
No, he decided that Tony didn't need to know his dog (and himself) had nearly been lunch. "She skittered out the door when I got out." He said as he handed the wriggling pup over carefully. "S-She didn't get too far before I caught her, through..."
Awkward. He really didn't like lying. Especially to someone he worked with often. "I should probably go, through... I have one more final to study for." He poked at Dogby's nose gently. "No more getting in trouble, right ?"
The monster would be their little secret... or so he thought.

Tony smiled and nodded his head. He knew the real answer, of course, but he also knew what it was like, not being able to really talk about how he got his injuries. Not that it was much different now. He just happened to be able to fight back more now, rather than just be the victim with the cane.
"Ah, I'm sorry. She usually doesn't run outside. Silly thing," he shook his head, hugging her to him as she nuzzled against his chest, desperate for his attention. He itched her ears as best he could with the fingers poking out from his cast.
She licked at Daniel's finger when he poked her, her tongue lulling to the side of her mouth and her expression happy. As easy as it was to scare her, she got over it just as quickly, it seemed.
"Ah, alright. Well. Thank you for keeping her from getting herself hurt out there. I don't know what I would do if anything happened to her. I hope your final goes well." He smiled, nodding his head. He would keep an eye out for Daniel, make sure he wasn't accosted by more youma, at least. Some of them, himself included, were just magnets for trouble. It didn't hurt to have an extra set of eyes looking out for them.
He moved to the front desk once Daniel made to head out, sighing and looking down at the Corgi, who looked disappointed that Daniel was going.
