Julianna ruminated on the interaction with Owen as she made her way out of Central Command. She thought on the way he had taken that second step towards her. Deliberately intending to intimidate and lord an authority he didn’t have over her. That lecture. It grated on her nerves. She hoped that Commander Weatherfare sincerely considered her proposal, but for the most part she was left agitated over Agent Hart. Ear twitching, tail swishing-ly agitated. No matter how well she could police her face, which was currently a bland neutral of displeasure, her other features were wont to do as they pleased when she wasn’t paying attention to them. Her heels clicked an angry rhythm on the tile as she fumed.
Checking her watch, she stepped into the elevator. She was ahead of schedule. The time she had designated for her meeting with the Commander had been cut short by her annoyance with the Brigadier General. Good. That was fine. She could get more coffee. She needed more coffee. Her heart leapt into her throat and her shoulders tightened as the elevator began its descent. Julianna stood near the back and closed her eyes, and sorted through ideas that would perhaps make nice with Agent Hart.
She exited the elevator to the sound of her name being called. Ears fell briefly to the crown of her head as she looked for the source. Hearing it again, ears swiveled in the appropriate direction and she turned to find, what could only be described as, a small child pushing towards her. Silver furred tail appeared to sway curiously behind her shoulders as she surveyed the copper colored ears and tail of the girl who stopped in front of her.
“Miss Maxillion!” The child beamed, clearly pleased to have found her, even though Julianna couldn’t fathom why. She couldn’t have been more than twelve or thirteen and was dressed in a Covenant uniform that made her look like a toy soldier.
Julianna blinked down at her, tail falling to curl upwards without touching the floor. One of her ears fell lopsided. She lifted her tablet and clutch to hold them closer against her chest. “Is there something I can help you with?”
The girl paused, one ear falling to mimic Julianna’s. Her striped tail began moving nervously behind her knees. “Oh!” All at once she straightened, face falling into an appropriately serious expression as she lifted one hand in a proper salute.
“Private Juniper Bartelli, ma’am!” she explained with practiced intensity. “Intelligence Analyst.” As soon as she dropped her hands, her posture softened and she was smiling again. “I’m looking for Agent Bell!” Juniper sounded very excited by the prospect. She held up the notebook that she’d brought along with her into Julianna’s line of sight. “It’s his turn to try and solve my new code. I haven’t seen him this morning and people told me to ask you.” The notebook dropped back to her side, and Juniper cocked her head, grinning up at Julianna. “They told me you’re his new babysitter,” she laughed.
Julianna smiled, before she went to explain, “that’s not quite accurate…”
“Oh, I know,” Juniper interjected, pushing up her wide-rimmed glasses with one hand. “But the department thinks it’s funny. Have you seen him?”
“No, I haven’t.” Julianna pulled one hand away from her tablet to place it against one of Juniper’s shoulders and steer her in a specific direction. “But I’m sure we can find him together.”
Darcy smoothed his hand through his hair and leaned back in his chair, watching his godson with some amusement. More than acquainted with the way the Brigadier General forgot himself when he was angry. Or dealing with any sort of strong emotion that he didn’t know how to handle. Which was most of them.
He turned back and forth in his chair, lips pursed as to display that he was actually considering Julianna’s proposal. He let Owen rant as he wanted, before the swaying stopped and the smile faded. “General,” he warned icily, making a note of Owen’s tone. “You won’t like hearing it again, but your opinion on this matter is unwarranted.” Darcy pushed at papers on his desk disinterestedly, before standing. “So, yes, I am considering it despite your adamant ideation that I should not.” Darcy sighed, and rounded his desk, moving close enough to clap a hand on his godson’s shoulder. He was grinning again, no longer interested in talking about the PR manager's proposal.
“Despite your brilliant lecture on military culture you know you have no authority over Miss Maxillion, right?” He used his hand on his shoulder to steer Owen towards the door.
“It was kind of cute though, watching you try to intimidate her like that.” Darcy laughed, opening his door and all but pushing the Brigadier General out of it. He crossed the threshold as well and closed the door behind him.
“Samantha.” He abandoned Owen to move towards to his assistant, hovering over her and examining his schedule on the desk over her shoulder. “Do I have time to take an early lunch today?”
While Samantha hummed, her ears fell lopsided and she flipped through the secondary planner that lay open on her desk, Lilian picked up her own set of various planners and file folders.
“Brigadier General.” Lilian’s modulated tone was husky and attractive, naturally, but it didn’t help that she harbored a pretty decent crush on her boss. “I’ve compiled those correspondences you requested.” Her organizational and time-management skills were worthy of commendation, which would explain why she was still in Owen’s service. She was also pretty. A tall, and curvy brunette that looked very nice in her fitted blue dress. “And you have an open schedule until two-thirty.”
“Good!” Darcy boomed, rounding on Owen once more. “He can join me for lunch, then.” He leaned close enough to say under his breath with a devious smile. “And his mother.”

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.
