He is here for the gossip! Maxima has more of a mischievous side than he lets on, when he's finally persuaded to relax a little - he absolutely wants to hear all the 'tea' and will happily indulge Zulius in this.

As noted above, he gets stuff off high shelves for everyone with no complaints whatsoever. He's had enough time to get used to the ears by now, mostly, and the canine transformation is useful, so he's not mad at Varian about it. The fact that people get this stuff all the time even without the werewolf bites also helps - who can say it wouldn't have happened anyway?
