No, I didn't think she was, I just - remembered her. [ He doesn't even know why, to be honest. She just stuck in his mind somehow. Probably because he was puzzling over whether the tattoo really was a tulip or not, and it's strange how things will make you notice certain people over others. He continues considering. ] Is she a bartender?
I have actually met this person before, correct? [ Because he doesn't really think you'd play that sort of game with him, but he's not actually that certain of how much he doesn't think you'd play that sort of game with him. Yes, he does typically overthink his thought process. ]
[ He pauses with a forkful of food halfway to his mouth, because that actually does sound very familiar. It takes a moment for him to connect them, but once done, he's almost positive of his guess. ]
[ It is - surprise - quiet again as he considers that and finishes the rest of the food on his plate. It's not until he leans over to reach for the chicken she seems to be enjoying so much that he replies, in typically understated fashion. ]
[ Full and somewhat settled after her series of micro existential crisis she'd had earlier in the day, Juliett leans back against Alpha's legs and snorts a soft laugh. ]
[ Her weight is comforting, in as much as he allows it to be so, anyway. Physical contact is a luxury he doesn't often allow, even though he's about to contradict that. ]
[ He stuffs most of a piece of that chicken she seems to like into his mouth entirely by mistake, which happens to give him more time to think. Not that he wasn't going to say the exact same thing that he does wind up saying after swallowing somewhat hard and painful - not a word - around a mouthful of chicken in his own impatience to get it down - no words okay. ]

[ She may or may not have hit that herself, once upon a time, prior to hiring her. ]
