The annoyed arch of Sai’s eyebrows was duly noticed by Owen whose ability to aggravate, it seemed, was indefatigable even when he was trying not to. The blonde quickly tucked the hand that betrayed him away as he crossed his arms defensively over his chest.
Darcias. He was only peripherally aware of Julianna’s other sibling, having met her acquaintance so few times that he could mark the occasions on one hand. Again Owen was reminded that perhaps, he was the one who had been peripheral to Julianna’s life. A brother he never knew. Her other brother who hated him. Her sister who probably also hated him. The insidious creeping feeling that Julianna had willingly succumbed to the spell that erased him from her mind. Perhaps he had been merely a temporary plaything. A convenient throw-away mortal for the forever young to enjoy while it was convenient and fun. Or was he channeling what everyone wished Julianna thought of him? Owen’s mind moved fast spinning intricate webs of self-doubt and historical revision that would likely only be able to be unraveled by the subject of his worry.
He was barely listening to Sairus’ postulations--Owen rarely gave what Sairus said much consideration, in fact--on whether Darcias would be helpful. He resisted the urge to groan childishly at the thought of visiting her. He’d had enough of Darkwillow siblings for one lifetime. Or two.
He sighed instead and shook his head as he reconciled himself to the information. “I suppose we’ll have to pay sweet Darcias a visit then.”
Aphrodite’s name cam as a bit of relief. Technically speaking, Owen and ‘Dite were related by the marriage of their children--although quite distantly when considering neither of them biologically produced the children that linked them. ‘Dite’s step-daughter to Owen’s adopted son, as it were. Yes, he would be glad to see her again.
“I can get in touch with Aphrodite.” He assured.
Owen suddenly crossed the room to stand in front of the lynx. He resettled his arms across his chest with a wide-footed stance, gazing upward coolly at the larger. “If you’re playing some sort of game with me here, I’m going to make you regret it. But so long as you are willing to play nice cat, then Julianna will be the one that benefits.”
As if Sai would be the likely one to cause problems. A magnet for negative attention, Owen really couldn’t help himself with the verbal prodding.
