General Cross Marian speaking. If you're a lady, leave your name and a very detailed
message. I will respond back shortly.
If you're a guy, eugh, go away.
If you're my Idiot Apprentice, don't bother.

[HELLO GENERAL, I hope you slept early last night, as someone has decided to rudely awaken you this morning with a video call.]

Good morning, General Marian, this is Howard Link speaking.

[Hmm, he doesn't seem to be answering. Is he ignoring the call or have I done this incorrectly...]

[TRYING AGAIN.]

General, this is Howard Link speaking. I have recently arrived and have a rather urgent matter to discuss regarding Allen Walker.

[Hmmm...]

If you are awake, General, please respond.

[ oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh for fuck's sake, of all the people to bring to Exsilium. Cross would rather deal with the Earl than Lvellie's lackey. he debates ignoring Link altogether, but decides the sooner he speaks to Link, the faster he will go away. ]

What. [ he didn't say he was going to answer nicely. also, the tablet's camera will show Link a room, but Cross is nowhere in sight. ]

[Just frowning into the display then, eying what he can see of the room]

I have spoken briefly to Walker and it appears to me that despite the fact that he has been here since December, he is woefully uninformed of his situation at home. As it seems you are present and well here, I thought it would be best if you could explain to him again how he came to be the vessel to a Noah.

[ his tone remains harsh and cold as he responds ]

Enlighten me as to what good will come from doing that.

. . .

[Well, the Secretary didn't choose to entrust Link with his personal mission because Link backs down easily.]

Walker cannot face something he does not know, and you are the one most well equipped to provide him with the knowledge he needs. It seems prudent to me that you should do so while you are outside the reach of the Vatican and able to speak more freely.

Or was the deal that you struck with Secretary Lvellie only for the 14th's sake and not Allen Walker's?

One: the deal I struck with that buffoon is none of your concern.
Two: as long as he is there, he will not have to face it, so shut your mouth.

[Eyebrow twitches slightly]

I am surprised you would entrust such sensitive information to someone you believe is a "buffoon," General. Are you trying to spare Walker from having to consider his future?

[ he is going to ignore the first statement to respond to the second ]

There is enough to deal with in this paradise, and the last thing that is needed is causing waves where waves need not be made. Unless you want my idiot apprentice to distance himself from the rest of the Exorcists and cling to you like you're his used, years-old blankie that he won't let go of.

[Welp, can't even really object since such a scenario technically meets certain mission objectives. He doesn't have to look pleased about the implication though.]

So the tactic instead is to wait until the situation must be addressed before anyone does?

Wow, you really do want to be his blankie! [ and the sound of Cross clapping a la golf style will meet Link's ears. ]

If you want to distract my idiot apprentice from the business we've been dragged into to deal with, be my guest. Spill the beans. Spill everything you know that the buffoon told you. Don't be mad if he refuses to speak to you or answer to me outside of orders after you do so.

[HE MAD]

I had hoped you would take the opportunity to be more forthcoming than usual, General! If you should change your mind about properly informing him about what ultimately waits for him once he is finished with this place I suppose you know where to find him!

[HANGING UP NOW]

[ Cross will look at the tablet once Link's feed has shut down, and he laughs as if he was just told the best joke ever. ]

[Timcanpy, who's been making rounds for both Cross and Allen today, makes his way to Cross this time, at some point in the afternoon, bearing unmarked gifts. The sender should be obvious enough.

In the box Tim delivers, Cross will find one (1) metal cigarette case (with complimentary cigarettes inside), and a bottle of some local hangover remedy. There's also a crumpled up note attached, but whatever was written on it has been scratched out of existence.]
