Dorian watched his father's anger boil, but when Ana relayed the same message he simmered down. Ana always had a way with his father. He didn't like it. Emilio that was, but he listened to reason and the change of topic was received.
They night carried on with discussions about what to do about their errant son. Christian was silent. The whole thing had to be a shock to his system. It was likely one reason they hadn't met at the estate. Christian was always family but now he was more -- on level with them marrying Ana. Though he was being stubborn about all of it. And Ana didn't dissuade him, not that Dorian blamed them. His father could flip on a dime.
Drinks were heavy and they hadn't come to any conculsions. Only that Cruz was heading down a dark path. Emilio was taking up a room at the Ritz and he'd be in town for a while. No telling how long. And he intended to get to the bottom of this Vaia Plus thing. Which was bad in and of itself but his father had no idea what the fuck he was getting involved in, or why Nox was going to bring them down. Dorian knew that anyone near them was going to get burned. He might need to take some time off to temper his father and send him home.
For now they'd watch Cruz, Christian offered the estate for Cruz and Dorian's father, but Emilio refused. Cruz likely would as well he was well on his way to living in the freedom of college life. Who wanted to live with their mother?
Maybe a place of his own? For real. Not just some hack apartment he was renting. They both were in the same dire situations not wanting to man up and be free but responsible. Dorian sighed as they left. Maybe it was time he stopped playing pissed of cop and join the ranks. Right now his Domovoi work was boring as hell. And IA was still trying their best to find fault in anything he did -- they wouldn't. That was rather the point of being Atharim undercover. It was his job to hid the truth in the truth.
