<font color="#bd1185]"Cold battleground?"[/font] she repeats after him. She made a habit of mimicking a turn of phrase that she found particularly eloquent, or in this case, amusing. <font color="#bd1185]"You are determined to get on my bad side today aren't you?"[/font] She did not roll her eyes as he expected; she kept her gaze steady on him through a fringe of dark eyelashes. Coffee-colored orbs seemed to be studying him, but what she as looking for could not be determined. She was not unaware of his feelings. Lingering gazes were hard to miss when they worked so closely. It was not her marriage that kept her away from him. She needed Tau focused, he was too detrimental to her operation, and neither one of them could afford any added distractions.
She pulled her eyes away from him, when a notification pinged on her cell phone. They dropped quickly, and she was fully aware that she had been staring too long.
Her lips pressed together at his opening statement. She had a feeling she wasn't going to like what she was about to hear, after his hesitation; after he pushed the blame onto her Gamma. She would still be speaking to the absent leopard in question, after failing to reveal information so pertinent.
She listened intently as he began to explain. Her brow knitted over the bridge of her nose and her mouth was an angry red slash across her face. She idly drew a fingertip across the top of her desk and inspected it as if she was looking for dust. Rubbing thumb and forefinger together as if to rid them of the imaginary debris.
She turned her chair half-away from him, looking out the large windows at the opposite end of the room. Moonlight cascaded over the bay and she sighed. A quick, annoyed sound pushed through pursed lips.
Laskhmi turned back in her chair and lifted herself out of it with both hands against polished wood. She leaned heavily on the furniture and cocked her head at him. <font color="#bd1185]"None of this should have happened, without my knowledge,"[/font] she reprimands. Her voice was dangerously even, a respectable, but terrifyingly decent volume. She stood straighter and adjusted her sari over her shoulder, before smoothing the fabric over her hips. <font color="#bd1185]"I will talk to the Fera in custody, and I will meet with the Nagah Clan leader as planned, but this stays between us now. I will not have word getting out that my own enforcer was keeping something from me."[/font]

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
