[Well, the Dressing Room hasn't seen this in a while. A room full of dead bodies - mostly Finders and other unfortunate NPCs that usually get the short end of the stick when Noahs go on a rampage. Though strangely enough, the room is lacking the usual blood and gore that usually accompanies a Noah having too much fun. Just quiet lifeless bodies

[Cross stood before the message, blocking the sight of all those bodies around him. He was trying to figure out what the point of all this death was. The words left behind though...]

Damn it.

[Without meaning to, the former general's hand rose, covering the mark on the unmasked side of his face, hiding it from anyone's view.]

[arebornstar]

[Coming back some time after his return to Alma, to see if his Tease had returned there instead and stops when he sees Cross there. He turns to go before his father sees him, sees the mark on his own face, but his boot scuffs on the floor noisily as he turns to go.]

[bystarscrossed]

[The sound of boots against the floor caused the man to be pulled from his thoughts. A familiar sound of scuffing.]

Rene...

[Putting his hand over the mark again, Cross turned to look at the younger, frowning a bit when he realized the younger was trying to leave.]

[arebornstar]

[He stiffens a bit sheepishly, turning his head just a little.]

Sorry, I was looking for my Tease.

[bystarscrossed]

[Cross moved from his place, going over to the younger man to check him over and be sure he was alright. The closer he got, he noticed the mark on his son's face, causing him to forget himself for a moment and pull Rene in close, not caring if he was in his personal space.]

Not you...

[arebornstar]

[skldhg Pulled in and grips lightly at the general's jacket. He doesn't normally care about personal space anyway, he's usually the one breaking it.]

She got Alma too...

[bystarscrossed]

[He just wants to hold you for a little bit, he's not keen on having his child be killed or otherwise.]

Why? What's the point in it?

[a_rebornstar]

[It's okay, it was just...random. Something he's not used to.]

I don't know, she's probably bored for all I know. [Gripping his jacket tighter.] I...I haven't told Tyki yet.

[bystarscrossed]

[Welp. He's not going to let go for a little while.]

If I had Judgment...

[You can fill in the rest there, Rene. Just know it wouldn't be nice thoughts.]

...You need to.

[arebornstar]

[He has to go back to Alma eventually.

He knows, but he doesn't want Cross to get in deeper shit with her. He saw that mark. Shaking his head now.]

He'll do something foolish, I know it.

[bystarscrossed]

[Fine, he'll let go only when he has to.

Whatever. He assumes he's already in for a train wreck of a week.]

He'll do something foolish if you don't tell him as well.

[Ignoring the fact he won't be telling Nea about this.]

[a_rebornstar]

[Good man. And yeah, it's going to be a hellish one and so is the next.]

I'll...send him a note last moment. I just don't want him to worry.

[bystarscrossed]

You need to tell him sooner then that. Do you honestly think you can hide from him for a week?

[a_rebornstar]

[Laughs softly] He's been gone for longer than that here before. [Not lately, no. But...]

[bystarscrossed]

Rene...

[Too old to be grounded, but that tone is in his voice.]

[arebornstar]

[He's heard it with Gramps. Flinching reflexively, awaiting the panda-clawing that usually comes with it.] I'll talk to him soon.
