It was not a good place to be in, and when he was absolutely certain of this and couldn’t go any further, even with the boy he liked there, he turned.

He’d assumed that Janus would have the same sense to leave. He only realised Janus didn’t when everything was falling, and he couldn’t find the boy to stay with. Not that Alfador was worried for himself, of course, nor for Janus, but he was sure it would’ve made them both feel better with the ground shaking beneath them to have the other with them.

He made do with a pile of clothes, hissing at any strange sounds until the roof caving in forced him outside. At least at that point they’d reached the ground, though water was overtaking the land at a pace far too fast for Alfador’s liking.

He ended up clinging to one of the people who weren’t any sort of family’s hats, clawing at them when they tried to remove him. They understood soon enough, and he stayed there until he was certain that the land wasn’t about to sink on him again, at which point he was off and looking for Janus.

Alfador couldn’t find him.

That was intolerable, and Alfador set to looking wherever he could, even the strange machines that smelt of the Gurus. Janus wasn’t anywhere on them, and Alfador slowly forced himself to the conclusion that Janus had most likely been lost in that underwater building.

He wished even more that they hadn’t gone now. There was nothing for it, though, but to get on with things as best he could- because while going after Janus would be loyal, Alfador had just enough to hope that the boy might turn up alive.

In a way, he did.
