you can trust my approval; I'm elite when I fight. I am cute as a button; I close things up so tight. I'm swiftly independent; and I frequent the port. I will guard all your secrets; still I'm hunted for sport.

My first three are things you shouldn’t tell, Though my fourth stands for you. Next three can be shown by a X, The last three works in a team. Together I give and take commands.

You can find me in hills, you can find me in gatherings. I am told, i am shared, i am tasted.

I've broken vows, dispelled the gloom, Erupted from illness, confronted doom, Ended campaigns, charmed into bed, I'm the sound of someone killing, Or I might be canned instead

I come in books and boxes. My head comes in different colors. Take me out and scratch my head, better be quick before I’m dead. What am I?
