Owen scratched the back of his neck to buy him a second to reconsider why he’d assumed Darcias was ‘bitter.’ He hadn’t really expected her to push back on that designation. “I have a good notion that there’s some bad blood between you two. Would it surprise you to know, Julianna never once sighed longingly for her absent sister’s company at the holidays? And never, to my knowledge, sought your advice or comfort when we had our spats.”
Though Darcias straightened her posture, Owen was still quite a bit taller than the diminutive woman. He took the opportunity to glare down at her in cold disapproval when she revealed that Elliot, of all people, would be the person to consult on righting Julianna’s mind. However, he didn’t have the chance to respond before Sairus made his entry. He glanced at the other man, the disapproving look still on his face. His eyes flicked over Sai as the taller man made a little bow to Darcias which only deepened Owen’s displeasure.
With no more acknowledgement to Sai, he redirected his attention back to Darcias. He changed his entire demeanor, putting on a show for the new company in the room. “You’ve been quite helpful. Truly, indispensable.” He said with syrupy condescension. He then raised his index finger as if to make another point, “Though, if I may, a little advice for future endeavors, you probably shouldn’t go making messes that only dangerous necromancers with unknown intentions can clean up for you. Just a thought.”
After giving these instructions, he opened his palm and took his wedding band from among the group and wiggled it over the knuckles of his left ring finger. A pointed display for all the parties in the room. As if to make one last point: she’s mine and these rings are the proof.
He then placed the hand on Darcias' shoulder giving her a reassuring squeeze before kissing her cheeks as he had done in greeting. “I’ll take care of all of this for you, sister. You’ll be busy managing your tea set and getting the desk refinished.”
Whether his commentary embarrassed her was no matter to Owen. In fact, it was the point. He turned then and nodded to Sai, all the while jingling Julianna’s rings around in his hand.
“Shall we, then?”
Bitch, I'm limited edition.
