Owen knew better than to handle any object in his father’s study that did not appear ordinary. He wasn’t permitted in his mother’s study or shop anymore. His father, for better or for worse, was somewhat more lenient on his incorrigible son.
The gods only know why Darcy was so permissive with Owen.
It wasn’t as if Darcy’s son had given him any reason to place his trust in him.
No.
But of course Owen was very much so already handling the newest addition to the collection of arcane and magical looking objects lining the shelf. What was it? A jewelry box? Or one of those music boxes with the dancer that spins inside? If he was truly lucky it was a cigar box and he’d find some imported Veridian cigars inside. He loved those.
There was absolutely no reason for his fascination with a box. It had simply stuck out to him among the other things gathered there. He felt immediately attracted to it. The shining finish and gleaming decoration announced itself as something special. Rare. He very much liked rare and pretty things.
And why shouldn’t he have them?
If only he could figure out the latch. After he had run his fingers over the top of the box and investigated the hinges at the back, Owen’s fingers pinched at the wings of the butterfly that marked the box latch. That wasn’t the mechanism. He fiddled some more with the butterfly to no avail. Such a simple task surely should have been no problem. Too easy to anger for his own good, Owen growled in defeat sorely accepted and he batted at the box frustrated with it. He took his blame out on the object itself.
It clattered to the floor and Owen turned from it with a huff to dump himself carelessly into the chair across his father’s desk. He glared at the box on the floor. This is why he was never given pretty things as a child. He always abused them.
His leg bounced and index finger tapped out their own impatient rhythms as he waited for his father to join him for their meeting. The fidgeting stopped only long enough for Owen to tug his tight fitting military uniform into place on his tall frame.
