dumb kid decisions through the lens of a dumb adult
It actually surprises Nate how effectively Azrael has managed to hide. The tune of his whistling changes suddenly, a sinister da-nuh, da-nuh repeated as he stalks through rubble.
Luck is what gets him there in the end, Nate catching a strange shape in a shadow and double taking to find his fellow Demi-god. “I found you!” He cheered the same moment Azrael did, arms lifting while a glowing hand is offered towards the other. “My turn.”
Nate finds his hiding spot quickly, scrambling up a nearby pile of rubble and squeezing between some of the larger pieces before the countdown is even halfway done. It’s a mercy that he isn’t claustrophobic, the way he’s squished in here. The only thing that might work against him is how loud he’d been scrambling through loose rocks, but most of the area had been loose rock. It’s fine.
