[Hubert's response is immediate. Or at least it seems immediate, because he's been paying close attention and probably heard the footsteps before Flayn, but that's not the point.
He locates the closest cover - thankfully there's a shadowy corner with a bush that should block the guard's line of sight - and he grabs Flayn's wrist and moves. Sure, he could leave her behind, and he did consider that. But then she might mention that he was here with her, and he doesn't want to deal with that. It's for the best to hide them both, even if it means allowing Flayn a glimpse into how good he is at this.
Assuming Flayn doesn't resist any, he pushes her back into the corner and follows, standing in front of her and pressing in close to hide her distinctive and bright hair behind his darker colors. He keeps his head turned, listening carefully for the sound of footsteps retreating.
...Also he doesn't say a single thing about this and just expects Flayn to deal, so sorry??? Yikes.]
