Ears swiveled forward towards the sound of muffled voices on the other side of the closet doors. Nervous hands ceased their fidgeting along the oiled leather of the whip, lest the smallest of noises give her away. She charted her breathing to something slow and steady; tail twitching a silent metronome of pace with which she timed her breaths in a way that caused her lungs to burn with need. This was fucked. She was fucked, with no way to escape in the foreseeable future. Before she could even think to wonder if the situation was going to get worse, it got worse. When she leaned forward to peer warily through the slats of the barrier, she noted Eoin moving closer to her hiding spot.
She cursed loudly, if only in her head. A long and diverse string of expletives as she fumbled for her bag. Trying to be both quiet and efficient and just barely succeeding. She rummaged among the items stashed within, fingers searching for the feel of a familiar case. Small, and round with the rough edgings of a gilded decoration. Where the fuck is it? Sometimes, there was a downside to having a pack that was literally endless. Enchanted for better storage. She leaned into the bag, her arm all but disappearing into the dark leather. Fuck. How did she leave the house without her vanishing powder? How did she even think to-
The door was pulled open and Julianna was left blinking in the wash of light. Pupils narrowing into thin slits to accommodate the effect. Though dim to set the mood it was still brighter than the relative darkness of the closet. Green eyes rolled upwards to settle on the displeased expression currently worn by the incubus whose room she was trespassing. He would have still towered over her even if she’d been standing, but nestled on the floor she felt downright diminutive. One of her ears fell lopsided, but her tail was still where it curled nervously against the small of her back. The vexed motion of his wings pushed enough air at her to upset the curling locks that framed her delicate features. She swallowed thickly, doing her best to formulate a response in her head, even as her fingers tightened around the handle of her whip. White knuckled with the effort, though she didn’t know what it would do for her in this situation.
“Oh,” she breathed, if only to buy herself time. Still working on an effective lie. “Oh my. I seem...” she paused, forcing the fallen ear upright. “I seem to have the wrong room.” Nope. That wasn’t it. That was not at all an effective lie. “How embarrassing. I'm mortified.”

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.
