I Am The Luna

Cassian chuckles and raises his hands in surrender. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it. I do apologise. I know things are hard Valerie... but know that I'm not against you or your people." He reaches out placing a hand on my shoulder giving it a squeeze, my eyes flash and I grip his wrist, instantly removing his hand from my shoulder "Lighten up Valerie... What is going on?"

Standing up I look him in the eye. "Don't tell me to lighten up when we are already discriminated against. This is not a light matter," I answer quietly.

"I know, and I'm sorry for being inconsiderate."

A strange silence falls between us, and I shake my head. "I'm going to head out on time today..."

"We have a lot of research to do..."

"Hmm, maybe, but I don't think I want to bend over backwards for a species who are treating us so badly." The words leave my mouth before I can even stop them, but to my surprise, he does not even react.

Our eyes meet and a heavy silence falls between us. "You're right, you shouldn't... good night, Valerie." He turns away and I frown. Something about that exchange felt... off.

I can't believe I said what I did, but I just feel angry. Maybe it's the long hours, I just need a break!

I grab my things, feeling annoyed as I exit. 'Hey Sexy, you might want to watch the cameras about now, I just had a weird exchange with Cassian,' I say through the mind-link as I meet Damien outside, and we head to the car. There are always several guards around, one of Zade's and then a few men sent by Sebastian.

'Who says I wasn't watching already? I don't like him at all...' Zade's sexy voice comes back.

'Maybe you really are an excellent judge of character.'

'There's no maybe, I am, there's nothing to think about there,' he replies, making me smile.

We get in the car and head out.
