[ this is Rex, peeking into what looks like used to be an old bakery, clutching at his stomach as it quietly growls in hunger.

This is Rex, picking up what looks like might be a desiccated half-rotted pastry and sniffing at it like it's an actual viable food option.

Hi Kotetsu. ]

[ stumbling into kotetsu later in the streets because absolutely FUCK staying in that opera house even a second longer than is necessary ]

...well. At least now we know what happened to that Marius guy, right?

[ Despite any lingering pain, Kotetsu is out wandering around, trying his best to find any missing persons. That's when he comes upon Rex standing there, staring at the ship ruins. ]

Hey, kid... You okay?

[ after they all filter out of the ballroom from the trial, rex approaches kotetsu in the courtyard.

very noisily.

because Amparo is screeching and flying all around his head, pecking him on the head and shoulders the whole way. ]

Hey!! Quit it already, will you--I'm not gonna--ow!!

[ Rex kind of...vanished, as soon as the barrier disappeared. He didn't have his first aid kit on him, and he doesn't really know how to perform it anyway, so he wasn't going to be of any use. He just. Needed to get away.

Which is why he went wandering around town aimlessly until he accidentally runs into Kotetsu in the solar, only slightly less dying than before. And all of a sudden, he can't help but stomp over to him. ]

You--why did you do that?!

[ this dumb tiger is most assuredly not in bed at the moment. where is he? well, about that. it looks like he's chilling down by the canal where some shards are dusted on the bank. ]

[ Rex is standing off to the side on his own outside the castle, lion's mane and mask and formalwear and all. He stares at it, and the landscape around, like there's some kind of secret to be gleaned from it all. ]

[ Well, they made it here. To the land of the dead. Meeting up while fighting angels isn't the ideal spot to talk, but he spots Rex and decides to see how things go this time... now that they can both actually talk. ]

Rex... You okay talking with me? Or still wary after the last chat?

[ "Chat."

He also has "I let them die" on his throat from the lovely weekly effect. ]

[ after everything that happened, he's still collecting himself. but he looks in the direction of rex, a little unsure of himself, but he approaches quietly. ]

Nice work out there today.

[ he saw how hard he was working on the bomb and all. ]
