There was a subtle twitch to her ears that matched the timing of business cards falling into one another as he flipped through the Rolodex. She nodded her understanding when he mentioned the CAF mission statement. Having finally finished reading all of her employee handbooks, she had a fairly good idea of what exactly that meant. Leaning forward, she picked up the card he pushed in her direction, and quickly red the information upon it as he continued to lay out an efficient plan of attack for the situation.
“I’ve dealt with the owner of this casino before,” she explained, letting her hand and the card fall into her lap. “Bimala Sonali. She’s tough, but she’s not stupid. She definitely won’t like the CAF coming around her business.” Julianna had dealt with many clients in the past who were frequent patrons of the casino. It was expected, she wouldn’t have a job without celebrities who were addicted to anything and everything the could get their hands on. Drugs, sex, gambling. This experience was also how she had come to find that the Deltin Royale Casino was a front business for the local wereleopard pard. Not all of the money coming in and out of that place was from slot machines and Blackjack tables. Mostly, the ill-gotten spoils of a trafficking ring.
Julianna kept this information to herself, for now. She was content to follow Owen’s plan of attack until it possibly fell apart. Bimala didn’t yet know who she was dealing with. Julianna and the CAF. She’d succumb to one of them, if it meant keeping her little secrets deep underground where they belonged.
She glanced down at the business card in her hand again when he pointed it out. Her ears pricked at the mention of the the now-judge, being his father’s attorney. Her tail swayed curiously where it hung over the end of the seat. Julianna was curious, but she didn’t follow that particular line of questioning. She would look it up on her own instead of risking her newly cleaned slate with the brigadier general. She considered that he wouldn’t be happy to find out that she had been snooping either.
Guess, she wouldn’t get caught then.
“Thank you, Owen,” she had almost called him general, but decided to test out the name she’d been allocated instead. It was a nice name. She liked it. She smiled brightly at it. “I’m sure Renton will be just giddy to hear that you’re helping with this.” She laughed softly, and pushed her hair over her shoulder. She surveyed the man across from her with quick and subtle shifts of her eyes. Julianna thought back on the way Owen had touched Renton’s face with such gentleness and concern.
“Renton’s injuries all appear to be superficial,” she explained to him. She thought he might like to know, giving his secret affection for the other man. “There is...a lot of bruising on the face, ribs and torso, but nothing was broken. He declined medical treatment at the jail, and with me when I picked him up. He was...uh…” she paused, trying to find a better word than the one that immediately came to mind, but fell short. “Scared? When I retrieved him. I took him home with me so I could monitor his injuries.”

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.
