Place: Phillip’s cottage outside of the city

Davut has to be one of Phil’s favorites, which was something Phillip tried not to do—pick and choose when it came to trainees. But he’d been training new kids for 15 years. Quite honestly, he considered himself pretty damn good at it. And seeing people like Davut learning and growing truly warmed his heart. But he knew his relationship with Davut was complicated, one where he was too keen on affection or too kind. He was tough on the kid, and hoped to god he wasn’t just making him miserable. But he was touch because he saw so much untapped potential in him. Hearing about Davut’s promotion, he couldn’t have been more proud. He needed to do something special for him. So, he shot him a text and waited for his answer, something he’d been nervous to do during his preparation. And hearing the knock on his door, he couldn’t help but feel excited. He walked over to open the door, Rufus right behind him, and smiled softly. “Davut. Please, come in.” He said and led Davut inside. “Let’s go to my office.” He said as he led him towards the back of his cute cottage, walking his mentee into an office filled with books and old pictures. It smelled of frankincense, lavender, and dried flowers—which wasn’t something you might expect from Phillip. “Take a seat.” He gestured to the sofa chair, sitting in the one faced across from it.
