[The feed clicks on to a view blurred by heavy rain. In the not-so-far background towers the wall of the Inner City. The figure that peers down at the PCD, shaking the device, is at first shadowed and difficult to make out. A few hard taps later, however, the view clears.
Saul grins at the camera. It's a bit of a shaky grin - he looks exhausted, underfed and somewhat battered, generally the worse for wear. But there's a scary sort of light in those eyes. He looks very pleased with himself.]
Ah - still working. Good, good.
[He chuckles very softly, glancing back at the wall, then again at the device.]
Well, then - doma Bao. I'll be seeing you, I believe.
[That said, Saul's hand drops to his side, affording a brief view of him standing, braced against a building wall, head tilted back and eyes and mouth open to the rain, before he starts moving - slow and stiff but purposeful - and the feed switches off.]
As my fortune holds... be here.

Then, without a word, he shifted in the chair and leaned over to rest his head against her shoulder, the dirty gold of his hair falling over his face and his eyes closed. He had never needed anyone's comfort before and he did not need it now, no, but he enjoyed feeling that she was real and solid and present, and he took his joy where he could find it.]

He was now secure if he did fall asleep, though. And he looked weary enough to. She pulled off her hat, setting it to the side, and let her own headrest against his.]
