Maeve was doing that thing where she was being very vague. Though she peered at her watch, Owen was positive it was not giving her any information about the length of her stay. She would stay as long as she felt she needed to.
He wasn’t displeased, at all.
“Good.” He said as he climbed the stairs in front of her. He half turned and glanced at her. “I need witch company. This town is…” His lip curled and he didn’t finish the sentence. She could probably guess at his meaning. They could get into the gritty details when there wasn’t a time crunch to get him out to his date on time.
Owen stripped out of his shirt, while she poured over his ties. She had an uncanny knack for opening just the drawer he would keep them in. Was it their many years of friendship or her foresight? She would say her abilities didn’t work like that, but he had different ideas for how they seemed to spill into even mundane tasks like choosing just the right drawer.
Next to her, Owen tried to evaluate his ties from Julianna’s perspective. Which would she like?
“She has a farm and a shop--herbs and handmade soaps and honey and the like.” He explained as he lifted out a couple of ties. One was a safe satiny navy blue, the other had a floral design. He held them up for Maeve’s inspection.
“Cain teleported into her shop and broke a display. I’m buying her dinner because she refused to let me pay for it.” He tried to downplay the significance of the dinner though he was picturing Julianna’s flirty smile and a flash of green eyes through curls fallen into her face. He thought about tasting her lips and what she would do if he kissed her.
He knew it was more than just repayment.
“She’s a plant witch.” He added quickly. “Well, kind of a hedge witch.” He said it out of the side of his mouth in a whisper with his hand cupped around his lips as if it were a dirty secret.
“I’m going to take a quick shower. Just pick it all out for me.” He announced suddenly before securing fresh undergarments and leaving her alone with her questions. No doubt she would have many. And he would, no doubt, face them when he returned from the shower smelling of woodsy oak but hinting at something sweet like bourbon. His hair was combed back in his usual fashion. He’d even put a bit of balm into his beard. All of it took only a few minutes as his routine was well-practiced at this point.
"So what did you see, exactly?" He asked when he reappeared.
He wasn’t displeased, at all.
