The next morning gilbert awoke to the sound of Gilbird chirping loudly. "Mein gott, shut up!" He exclaimed, flinging a pillow in its general direvtin before shooting up. "Right! I need to save that kid!" He stated before making his way to the bathroom.

After showering and getting dressed he slipped on his Vans and jogged out the door. His hotel wasn't very far from Ivans (very large) home so he decided just to walk.

On his way up the driveway, which was more like a drive road it was so fucking long, he spotted the small blond in among the flowers just off to the side of the path. He was crouched down and had a small black bracelet around his ankle. Ah. A tracker in case he escaped. "Hey, kid." Gilbert called out to him. He jumped in momentary terror stuttering out apologies and the like. "Woah, woah, woah, kid! It's okay, it's just me! The awesome Gilbert! What cha up to?" He grinned.

The blond just stared a moment before averting his eyes. "U-uh... just gardening." Gilbert nodded enthusiastically. "uh huh uh huh cool. Listen I-" a car pulling up and stopping behind Gilbert interupted his scentance. "Gilbert~" the voice made him shudder. "Welcome back. Did you need something else?" He nodded. "Yeah I just... forgot something?" He forced a smile in the Russians direction. Ivan turned to look at the little slave boy.

"Matvey." He began. The boys eyes widened in terror as Ivan stepped out of the car and ushered the driver to continue without him. He aproached the shaking boy until he stood a mere few steps away. "Would you like to explain what you're doing outside the house." He commanded in a venom laced tone. "I-i didn't, you see T-toris made me do the weeding he told me to get it done before you got home but I said I wasnt allowed. He hit me then shoved me outside and wouldnt let me back inside until I was done. H-he said he had b-better things to do. I-i'm sorry master." He replied dejectedly.

"I see." Replied the Russain. "Well in that case," he tousled the boys hair gently even though he cringed at the touch "good job Matthew. Go back inside. I have matters to discuss with Toris as well as Gilbert."

The blond began his trek towards the mansion just slightly ahead of Gilbert and Ivan, who walked together in an extremely uncomfortable silence.
