Her brow furrowed as he inspected his nails. The phrase hung between them for a few silent moments, until Owen stood up. Her tail flickered erratically behind her head. Julianna knew what the words actually meant, even though he refused to say them to her. As if she didn’t know they way he tended to take care of things. Especially those that could be perceived as threats. She sighed sharply as he gathered plates and silverware and moved away towards the kitchen.
Julianna pushed herself out of the chair to follow after him, gathering up wine glasses from the table before she joined him at the sink. Despite returning to the Isles and taking up her usual duties, they didn’t have servants at the cottage. She finished off her wine as she walked with big sips. The voluminous skirts of the elaborate dress swished noisily as she walked.
“Completed is generous,” she replied, indulging his subject change if only for a moment. “They are...old and have opinions that are hard to sway. I’ll reconvene with them on the issues in a few days.” Setting the glasses in the sink, Julianna remained next to Owen, leaning her butt on the counter. She crossed her arms over her stomach. She stared straight ahead, ears falling off either side of her head. Pulling her bottom lip between her teeth she chewed on it, thoughtfully.
“It was the C.A.F. wasn’t it?” She turned just enough to lean her forehead against his bicep. “We were supposed to be safe here,” she complained softly.

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.
