Owen watched the frosting coat the pad of his finger. He stuck it in his mouth and grunted at Julianna when she instructed him to quit pouting. He nodded satisfied with the creamy textured sweetness that was especially good with the bitter taste of coffee still in his mouth.
“Surely I’ll be making both their days.” He retorted implying that Barlena would be relieved rather than disappointed at the loss of his post. He rounded the counter, coming up behind Julianna, he waited for her to take her hands away from the cake so that he could squeeze her shoulder with his hand and kissed her cheek. A truce kiss. “Let’s hope Weatherfare hasn’t turned on the television this morning.”
Owen was content to watch Julianna from the vantage behind her while he made quick phone calls to the two men they had been discussing. Celeste joined them shortly announcing herself with news of how she enjoyed her evening. He turned and eyed her cooly.
“That’s nice sweetheart.” The coldness in his voice suggested that he was not impressed with her attitude.
Owen followed Celeste’s shuffling footsteps towards the coffee pot, bringing his own mug with him for a refill. “Specialist Atlas Weatherfare will be joining us shortly to take over for Agent Barlena as your new guard after that stunt you pulled last night.” The way he spoke was even toned and calm even though he was quite annoyed with his daughter’s antics. It never served either of them in conflicts to let his temper flare.
“I don’t think we need to go over why your activities last night put you at risk? If you're trying to get our attention -” he said, his words growing slightly hotter, "well, you have it. If you're trying to make a statement of rebellion regarding having a guard, just know you're not the first of your siblings to be angry with us over that. Your mother and I are firm in this decision. You'll get used to it soon enough."
He set his mug down hard on the counter, nostrils flared. He shifted his arm in the sling around as if to accent another point. "Don't be so quick to forget that I got shot in your bedroom. This is not a punishment. It's necessity."

Bitch, I'm limited edition.
