Julianna could hear the couple speaking softly to each other in the kitchen. She wondered if Maeve was okay, but didn't need to investigate for herself. Which left her sitting at the table. With Owen. Just the two of them.
She couldn't help but stare at him when he inquired to her well-being. It was so nonchalant, casually brushing past the fact that he'd seemed to want nothing to do with her since that night in the forest. "Fine." Her reply was clipped. The simplest response after she noticed she had been silent for too long. Her gaze dropped from his face to his arm when it was presented to her.
Professor Darkwillow exhaled as if all the air was being pushed out of her. It was both an incredulous sigh and a scoff. "I can say the same for my hands." She didn't present them for inspection. One still held her wine and the other was tucked between her knees. She glared at him pointedly. Julianna knew this wasn't the time or the place for the conversation they needed to be having. What had he done to their attackers that night in the forest? Why had he kissed her?
"The kneazle and her babies are doing well," she informed him. "I've been checking up on them regularly. Mama is really warming up to me."

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.
