"I don’t know," Julianna responded to his questioning with exasperation. He had a process to handling information that usually involved a string of near-rhetorical questions. He pushed past her once, brushing against her as she barely had time to move out of his way. Her ears pressed forward at attention as she watched Owen make his way into the hall, wordlessly; her tail was fluffed up and twitching anxiously behind her head.
She hardly registered the way he maneuvered her to his liking. Physically directing her to where he wanted her to be was a habit that she had grown used to. Useless to fight it, and better to let him have his way overall. His expression worried her. Or rather, the lack there of. Save for the tight knit of his brows his face was a passive mask. She wanted to know what he was thinking, but she also didn't want to know. All of the dark scenarios that had already come to her own mind were nothing compared to the possibilities he could think of.
The only sounds were the Blackberry demanding his attention and him rifling through his desk. One ear fell to the side of her head, confused as she eyed the silver phone in his hand. The kind he wasn't supposed to keep. She'd seen plenty of them tumble out of Covenant supply packages the accompanied his mission dossier. "Why do you have that?" she asked, assuming he had an explanation, with how hardily he tried to keep post-mission paraphernalia out of the house.
He was asking her what to do? Panic had gripped him as well, she could hear it in his breathing. She paused, her mind drawing blanks, ears pressing hard to the crown of her head. He was supposed to know what to do, he was…he was…
He was looking at her, eyes wide and having gone completely still. Anita was his baby girl. "I'll call her school," she suggested, breaking the desperate silence that had fallen between. "You call Cain. I'm sure it's…"
It's fine. She had wanted to say. Didn't get the chance. Was interrupted by the ringing of the silver phone he shouldn't have. She moved closer to his desk, gaze honing in on a phone that shouldn't be ringing.
