When Julianna was essentially snatched away from him it completely ruined the moment of Owen gazing down at her still engulfed in his windbreaker with soft hands laying on his chest. Owen craned his neck in a lateral motion to check-on Julianna who’d been shoved behind Lanzo as if Owen were some dangerous criminal. In reality, he stood before Lanzo looking as much like a playboy as he intended to. Shirt open revealing a tanned and muscular physique, with expensive Rayban’s poised on the bridge of his nose. Owen continued walking straight into the finger pointed at him. The Weatherfare’s index poked him on the chest bone and displaced his charm necklace a bit. Owen glanced down questioningly as if he was noticing the man for the first time expressly because of the finger on his chest. He backed up a pace making space between them.
While Lanzo lectured him, Owen slowly buttoned his shirt up. Large thumb and index carefully manipulating the white buttons into each slot. The most pressing problem before him seemed to be the issue of securing his shirt. He even took occasion to release the belt and button of his pants and tucked his shirt down. Apparently Lanzo, the Admiral and Naval Commander, wasn't deserving enough of Owen's attention or respect for the cocky sailor to even keep his pants buttoned up in the presence of the rival commander. His hands shoved the ends of his shirt down into his pants. Owen arranged the shirt neatly, pulling just enough out so that it wasn’t too tightly tucked in. When the pants were secured again, Owen’s appearance had transformed into something suitable for the eventual meeting with Julianna’s father. Less a sloppy playboy and more a presentable playboy. He brushed his hand down the front of his shirt smoothing it out in another gesture of preening for his audience which included Lanzo's subordinates and the Queen herself.
Whether he’d registered that Lanzo was speaking to him was in question, until Owen removed his sunglasses and slowly folded them and tucked them into the pocket of his button up shirt. The tops of the black frames peeped out from the white fold. He met Lanzo’s gaze with that confident smile.
“Lanzo.” He said with an infuriating and completely unperturbed tone of voice as if a direct confrontation weren’t going on. “You seem a little tense there bud.” He patted the Admiral on the cheek with his open palm. The sound of the gentle smacks broke the momentary silence.
Owen gestured with his thumb behind him. “That’s not my warship, boss.” He used the term sarcastically seeing as to how desperately Lanzo seemed to want control and authority. Owen's hand moved to squeeze Lanzo consolingly on the shoulder as if the man were entirely confused and it was a pathetic display. “That’s actually my sailboat. Warship much bigger. It carries the things that go boom.” He lowered his voice only half way. Feigning privacy as he corrected the Admiral who hadn’t actually mistaken the sailboat for Owen’s warship. Owen knew full well what the Weatherfare was trying to communicate, but he played dumb in order to further humiliate the man who over-stepped his authority with the queen.
Owen pushed past the angry navy man. There was no masculine contest to the action as if the Weatherfare didn’t seem deserving even that much attention or acknowledgement. There was simply nothing to contest. It was more as if Owen were merely moving an object out of his way, like opening a door or pushing aside a box.
“See ya, Lanzo.” He repeated this mocking phrase and turned his back. His hand lifted in a casual wave.
As Owen turned he winked and nodded at the naval sergeants standing by, “How’s it going. Take care with the boat there. Take down the sails and rinse them. When they’re dry stow them below. The bags are blue. Can’t miss them. Remember rolled not folded.” He greeted them with familiarity and issued instructions he had no authority to give.
“I’m hungry.” He announced to anyone who was close enough to hear. “Let me buy you some breakfast?” This offer was specific for Julianna the person he’d come to a stop in front of.
