(Untitled)

[bystarscrossed]

[There is one resident of the dressing room. He's by himself and standing near a door to a courtyard, mulling over the idea of going out or not. It certainly looks nice enough out but with his track record and exploring so far, he's not ready to take his chances on a whim, on a need for fresh air

[No.

There are suddenly two hands flat on his back and pushing him out into the courtyard. If he looks back he'll find Lavi trying to get him in there, head parallel with the floor.]

This is not outside!

[bystarscrossed]

[The hands on his back catch him off-guard and succeed in their task of forcing the man out in to the courtyard.

Once out and away from the comfort of his door frame, Cross turns to glare at the junior Bookman.]

What does it matter to you if I stay in the doorway or not?

[arebornstar]

[The younger moves under one of Cross' arms, a hand still on his back and gripping the fabric of his shirt so he won't run.]

You look like you're ill. Sunshine will do you some good. [Worry, fret, worry.]

[bystarscrossed]

[Cross tries to move away from the younger man, even if there was a death grip on his coat.]

Stop that, Rene... I'm fine.

[Still trying to pry himself from the worrying youth while doing his best not to lose his cigarette.]

[Good thing she hasn't noticed him yet. Chomesuke went out to play in the courtyard with her tim-babies. She ran around happily as the tiny, colorful, quarter sized Timcanpys flitted after her.

A few of them noticed Cross and began to glide towards him, but the akuma didn't notice.]

[bystarscrossed]

[Cross stands in the doorway, watching Chomesuke play with the little golems. Aluthia flitted from its master's hair to go out and play with the other golems. It was more like Timcanpy than a Tease now after all his modifications.

A hand went out for one of the Tims to land on, giving the creature a smile.]

[akumaindisguise]

[A pale red one landed on the tip of his finger. They were small and light, weighing practically nothing at all.

When the other golems saw the Tease they began to follow it curiously. They've never seen anything like it before!]

[bystarscrossed]

[The man lifted his hand, moving the little one closer to his face to examine it. Similar but not quite Tim.

Aluthia flits around the other golems, even perching on one for a ride until it got to the Akuma where it left the Tim-copy and fluttered in front of the girl's face.]

[It's a really good thing that someone had thought to warn him about this place, because if someone hadn't, Allen would have had a stroke by just about now. Seeing Cross standing there is just a bit of a shock regardless, so it takes him a moment to approach.]

Master-?

((ooc: 206!Allen.))

[bystarscrossed]

[Hearing the ever familiar "master" sound, Cross turned to glance back at the teen. He looked at Allen for a moment before turning his attention back outside.]

What do you want, idiot apprentice?

((ooc: deeeelightful))

[alwayswalking]

[Seems normal enough- idiot apprentice, check. Cigarette, check. Timcanpy flying over to try and land on his head, check.]

It really is you?

[bystarscrossed]

[A royal purple Tease leaves its home in Cross' hair when Timcanpy lands atop his head to perch on Tim. Tim sandwich?]

No. I'm a figment of your imagination. Of course it's me you idiot.

[teasingstar]

Not going outside?

[bystarscrossed]

I don't know. I just don't feel like it.

[teasingstar]

Something wrong?

[bystarscrossed]

...Yes and no.

[musicofstars]

[Leaning on the wall next to the door Cross passes through, Nea watches the other.

Smoke. He takes a deep breath as he steps forward, reaching to weave his fingers through Cross's long red mane.]

Marian. [Humming barely under his words, but insistent.]

[bystarscrossed]

[Cross looked back when he feels the hand through his hair. God. He hadn't even felt Nea there. Did he close himself off again?]

Yes, Nea?

[musicofstars]

[Stepping closer, sighing slightly as he moves and leaning his chin against the other's shoulder.]

Oh Marian. Where have you gone? [Humming a sigh] I've found your darling hiding spot and still you're hidden from me.

[bystarscrossed]

[The older reached back, trying to wrap an arm around the Noah's waist.]

I'm right here, Walker.

[Cross rolls his eyes before giving a sigh as he opened his end of the bond for the other to feel him there.]
