"It's okay…" Saul yawns. They wrap their strong arms around Gus and fall asleep like that, tired from the entire week and cleaning the house.
Gus couldn't help but grin. He felt incredibly safe in Saul's arms, nuzzling into them gently as he turned to the side.
All seemed to be well, until a loud boom was heard from just outside
Saul startles awake, eyes narrowed. They gently move Gus, and motion for him to stay. Silently, they go to the window, casting invisibility on theirself. Who…?
On the street outside is Saul's old second-in-command. Saul actually looks scared.
Gus bit his lip, nervously wringing his hands while he watched Saul. "Saul? Saul what is it?"
"They found us. I don't know how, but they did. The explosion was a max strength fireball." Saul murmurs.
They whirl. "We need to go. Now."
Gus stood up, quickly grabbing a pastry and looking around for a place to leave. "Where do we go?!"
Saul laughs slightly, regaining some of their composure. "Why, we go somewhere they can't find us. I couldn't establish a base in Russia, so we go there."
They grab hold of Gus, and they disappear from the house.
Gus yelped, getting whisked away by Saul as they held onto them tightly, whimpering softly as time seemed to fold inward onot them
Eventually, they tumble into an abandoned house. Saul looks around and shrugs, and with a click of their fingers, the house is restored.
"We're where we need to be." they murmur.
Gus huffed, panting as he looked around and inspected the restored sanctuary. "A-are you sure? Are you sure we're safe?" He asked, voice faltering slightly with fear
Saul nods. "I'm sure. There's a fuck ton of other magic in Russia already, so they can't find mine."
Gus peered around the formidable adobe, a bit taken aback by the sheer size and sophistication of it. He felt oddly out of place.
"Okay… okay. So…" He sighed. "What now?"
"We stay off the radar." Saul chuckles.
Gus chuckled nervously along with them, nodding slightly while he slid ever so closer to Saul. "R-right… yeah."
He looked up at the formidable person, much taller than he, and smiled slightly. "Thank you."
Saul, focused on Gus, notices the slide. They grin.
"You're welcome." they murmur.
