Julianna’s face fell when he stepped away from her wandering hands. It was a look of impatience, or perhaps, annoyance as he once again avoided her advances. He’d been so nervous, and she’d been trying to help and now his obvious need to be in control was delaying what seemed inevitable between them. She couldn’t understand why he wouldn’t just get it over with and be done with her, so he could carry on with his life until he needed her for something. That was how her old masters went about it.
The demon frowned. “Djinn are conceited and foolish, and are nothing compared to the power I possess.” She turned her body to watch as he leaned over the pool table, still baffled that he insisted on playing. “The box is...accomodating. Comfortable enough, I suppose but why would I want to be trapped in a room when there is an entire planar world I could be exploring.”
“I suppose it’s my turn now?” Her question was airy and disinterested as they watched the haphazard patterns that Owen’s poor shot had made of he remaining balls. He seemed disappointed even though he hadn’t really tried, and that said more about him than he wanted it to. Bangles jingled around her ankles as she circled to the opposite end of the table, stick in hand to find a better position for her turn.
“Several dozen,” she answered, sound mostly noncommittal. “My kind are not the easiest to find and my box isn’t exactly a widely sought after family heirloom.” Julianna didn’t look at Owen. She didn’t have to see the gesture he made to know what he was referring to. Instead, she leaned over the table to line up her desired shot. She didn’t not spend much time fiddling with her position; her stance was solid and in a fluid motion she pulled the cue back and sent in it forward once more through the guide she had made with the other hand. “Indeed he did,” she replied, standing upright once more. She didn’t bother watching as two of her balls rolled off into nearby pockets. Julianna also had not called a shot since she was unfamiliar with that aspect of the game. “Humans come in many varieties I’ve learned. Some more...sadistic than others.”

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.
