Cain was surprised to see Sadie abandon his mother for him. "Oh! Hello." His laugh was breathy and brief as he reached down to scoop the little dog into his lap. "I guess she doesn't hate me." He rubbed the top of her head. "The exam wasn't too bad was it?" He asked the dog as his mother put in the order.
"Oh and a lavender bubble tea with tapioca." Cain added to the order before the server left the table.
Owen had dropped his line of questioning knowing it was going nowhere and instead focused on what he wanted for lunch. He studied the menu as he listened to Julianna take up the mantle of parental concern with their son who had problems making good decisions.
Cain's ears flattened at the reminder of his last fight with Indigo. Idly, he scratched under Sadie's chin and even looked down at her as he tried to figure out what to say. There was something like a bit of embarrassment in the pit of his stomach. Like part of him knew Indigo wasn't right for him but he kept going back because... well, he couldn't say why.
"We just had a disagreement." It was vague enough that it wasn't really a lie but their "disagreement" had been explosive enough that it was a lie.
"Pretty loud disagreement." Owen muttered without looking up from his menu.
"You and mom fight." Cain countered, his ears pointing more towards the back of his head as he became annoyed with the prodding.
"Not like that." Owen glared back at his son offended at the suggestion that he'd ever argued so bitterly with Julianna. He could remember any such argument and if he ever had such an argument with Julianna they would have never been so careless as to let Cain overhear it.
"Why does it always have to be a fight?" Cain asked his voice pitching as close to a whine as a grown man dared. "I'm going to a party with my girlfriend, it's not a big deal."
