Julianna didn’t know what it was about the impromptu lesson that was making her agitated. The more playful Owen got with her the more dour she became. Perhaps it was Owen’s assumption that he could barge in on their schedule, or the way Renton was more than happy to play along with him, having already shed his jacket and joined Owen in the middle of the room. The deep frown that had settled when he’d tapped her arm remained affixed to her features, and she made no immediate moves to follow after the two men.
Now they were both beckoning her towards the mat. Renton having been fully integrated into Owen’s good mood and whatever he had planned for the two of them.
She almost looked as if she was determined to wait them out. They exchanged banter as a result of Owen offering her a free punch. It was a tempting offer, but that would mean giving into the cocky general. Julianna’s ears rose to stand straight as she realized if she didn’t participate, she would probably just be left out. Which was...decidedly less fun. Her tail swayed behind her knees and one ear fell lopsided, revealing the course of her thoughts. She already knew that Owen and Renton shared a mutual crush. What if this dumb little interaction with a frisky Owen made Renton lose interest in her.
When did she become the grumpy one?
With a huff and twitch of her tail, Julianna dropped her arms and shrugged out of her jacket. She knew losing the article would reveal the scars that she had been trying to hide. Of course she would have chosen an off-the-shoulder blouse today of all days. It was easy to see that her left shoulder looked as if it had been melted, and in a way, it had. Her dark skin was mottled, pale and ridged from just above her collarbone and continuing down her back, where it was still hidden by her shirt. While most of the scarring was splotchy shades closer to her skin tone, there were still parts that were vivid pink; smooth and shiny as if they were newer than other sections.
Her heels clicked as she crossed the room. She took them off just before she stepped onto the mat. This was the first time she had stood before Owen without the extra height, and tiny became a more fitting description. What neither of the men knew was that Julianna had an older brother in the US military, who had also been insistent that she knew how to defend herself from would-be attackers. Wordless, Julianna reared back her fist and projected it forward into Owen’s exposed bicep, leaning her whole body into it, just as she’d been taught. The contact was solid, and surprisingly effective, punctuated with a satisfying smack.

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.
