“You would do well not to mock me, Commander,” she replied, returning his stare when her gaze left the wave of his hand. She had forgone using his title since she’d decided she wasn’t going to do so, but at current it felt appropriate for the tone of the conversation.
She scoffed as his attempted to correct her, but did not contradict him. Julianna wouldn’t see her people suffer, even in the slightest, so the Covenant could take a shortcut to whatever war they planned on profiting from.
Her brow furrowed, the corners of her mouth turning downwards as she frowned at him. Fingers curled tightly around the shells she had been holding, and she pulled her knees towards her chest. This new position looked as if she was attempting to distance herself from him and the weight of the opposition. “Is that a threat?” she asked, calmly when he mentioned Laine. It wasn’t unusual for the northernmost island to be the subject of a potential quarrel. It’s frosted ground contained not only oil, but natural gases and precious metals. It was easily the most wealthy island in the archipelago. He was right, she was interested in safeguarding it, as she would have been for all of her lands. Owen seemed to be able to read her very easily, and for a moment she regretted getting so close to him so quickly.
Julianna ‘tsked’ and looked away from him, surrendering in more ways than one. She dropped the shells that had made the cut into a pile on the sand she shifted to lift herself from the sand. She stood, gathering some of the fabric of her dress in one hand to keep it from dragging on the ground.
“I will re-address the High Council with your new proposition. They will want to speak to you at length about what you supposedly know, and they won’t be interested in vague ultimatums.” She unfolded her sunglasses and pushed them back onto her face, and they only accentuated her deep frown. “I will propose a counteroffer to the C.A.F and it will very much be non-negotiable.” Julianna walked away from Owen then, giving him time to stew in the finality of her decision. Though she didn’t go far, she took her time approaching a cart that was selling ice pops.
A few minutes passed as she conversed with the vendor as he handed her two popsicles, one red and one green. She returned to where she had left Owen and dropped back into the sand with a huff, the green popsicle already dangling from her mouth. In a gesture of supposed peace, she held the red one out for him to take.
