"Owens" smirked very slightly at Charlie's near miss in speaking of his mate and where she was from. It had not gone unnoticed by him and he already knew exactly where he and his friend came from, but he feigned ignorance. After all, that piece of information really didn't help him in the slightest.
"Well, it sounds like you and your friend are both very loyal, willing to go to great extremes to protect those you care for. And it is clear that the Cirque is very much your home."
Suddenly, Owen's look became very dark and serious and he leaned forward, almost as if he were trying not the let anyone else around them hear what he had to say.
"But I should give you warning, you may not want to grow so attached to it. I have heard some rumors regarding the Cirque and other.....groups that speak of something dark on the horizon for yonder traveling circus."
He turned his head and jerked his chin towards the distant top of the main tent.

Charlie's ears twitched forward. "What do you mean?" He asked. His hackles rising. Part of him wondered how Owens was getting his information. He decided he would deal with that later. "I'll be damned if I let anything else happen to my family. Not if I can stop it." He growled.

Owens shot a look at the German Shepard that held a warning.
"Please, keep your voice down. It is worth more than my job to be telling you this. As for what I mean, it has become clear to my through the business interactions of my employer that a powerful cooperation has taken notice of the....unusual occurances around the Cirque and are planning to take some action to discover what is truly happening in the Cirque. I only know of this because of documentations I have handled for my employer and if he knew I was telling you...."
He fell silent and let a face shiver of apprehension course down his body, adding more menace to the situation as he began to speak, his voice an even lower whisper.
"I am telling you this not out of any goodness in my own heart but because it could turn into a very messy situation for mine and my own. The fewer who leave and are not involved, the easier it will be to handle. So take my good advice and leave."
While his false face showed deep concern and worry, inside Xanatos smiled at the role he had taken up. How joyously fun it was to take on another identity and act out a role so different from himself.

At any other place Charlie would have taken that advice and left with Rita and Itchy, but now AnneMarie had shown up and called the circus home as well. Plus Rita had adopted some kids. He also had a tie to Korra that he couldn't just leave. He lowered his voice as requested. "I can't do that. We have to many connections there." A small smile crossed his face. "Besides I'm not that easy to scare off. Nor is my family."

"Owens" shook his head, his ice blue eyes seeming to flash behind his glasses as he leveled his gaze at Charlie.
"It is your choice to remain, no one can force you. But know that all who stay will face an unknown fate. Of course, it could resolve into nothing of consequence should no magical aspect be detected. But if it is, those who die may count themselves lucky. And those who live..."
He didn't finish his sentence, instead letting the angel dog's imagination conjure up all the horrible images it needed to.

"And if say my family and I can't die?" Charlie said tilting his head. He had confidence that he could protect the people he needed to with miracle dog tags. Charlie was able to block his mind from conjuring images. "What's the worst that could happen to angels?" He asked.

Owens turned an astonished look onto Charlie, staring at him in false wonder at the words the dog had just said.
"Angels? Truly? SO it is true that Cirque is holding powerful magic within it!"
He stared at the dog in utter silent astonishment, giving him time to realize he had slipped up and revealed his true nature to a "human."

Charlie flinched. He had been so careful to not say where he was from. "Well, like you said I'm not a normal dog. Besides angel magic isn't a threat to anyone, unless you're a demon." He said. "Like I said what's the worst they could do to us."

"Owens" turned his head slightly to the side before shaking it as Charlie spoke, the look he gave the German Shepard one of disappointment.
"It is not you or your kind that are the ones placed in danger. After all, harm does not have to befall oneself for it to still cause a lingering pain. If one cannot harm you, then it would be a simple thing to find someone you care for that doesn't possess your "protection." And then..."
He let the horrible thought linger, allowing Charlie to reach any nasty conclusions he would come up with himself.

This time Charlie couldn't prevent the images from coming into his mind. There was one person who he considered family and wasn't protected as Owens put it. "AnneMarie." He whispered. His eyes widened with terror for the human, as his mind scrambled for a way to ensure her safety.
