save_the_souls) and Cross (

What: Face to face reunion ...kind of.
When: Nowish.
Where: Allen's room (506)
Rating: PG (for now?)
A bother. This place was a bother to Cross Marian. Anything that interfered with his plans was always something to be removed from the equation, but this was beyond even his means. Meeting that akuma had been entertaining. (He had yet to meet an akuma that didn't see his side of things.) The disappearing Innocence, the gap in his memory, inept exorcists, and now this. Cross felt severely overworked.
There was a flutter of wings as he stepped in front of room 506. Annoyed, Cross swatted at the golem. It was excited about seeing Allen. Still, Timcampi compliantly perched on Cross's hat when the general casually opened the door as stepped inside his apprentice's room. Cross Marian was above requesting permission. An empty room, but the sound of running water behind another closed door. He smirked to himself.
Despite the errands and distant observations, Cross had yet to see Allen Walker face to face since the day he left the boy unconscious in India. He hadn't planned on seeing him til a much later point in the plot, but the setting had changed and Cross was flexible.
Surely his disciple would be happy to see him again. Well, not see at the moment. Cross lit a cigarette. Let the boy watch the glow.
