Pov: Scaramouche

I had woken up in a strange shed in the woods of liuye, childe right beside me and some broken shards of glass in my arm. As I took a moment to feel my surroundings, I felt childe waking up beside me.

Childe: so, have you also noticed our strange surroundings 

Scaramouche: Does it look like I have

Childe: um...I believe the answer would be yes

Scaramouche: YES duh

I sat up to face the wall in front of me. It looked like it had been torn apart then shoved back together with a glue stick.

Childe: this is a um...Fancy house

Scaramouche: oh shut up I know

Now standing up, I walked around the single room for a bit. I was still not fully awake. Step after step a piece of the wooden floor screeched and shifted. This annoying sound triggered my brain to come up with the single question both of us wanted to say.

Childe/Scaramouche: how did we get here

...

Scaramouche: Ugh, you're no help

Childe: likewise to you fancy hat

Scaramouche: speaking of which where IS my hat

Childe: well...how am i supposed to know

My hat was missing. That was the only thing in my head that was banging around. My hat is gone. I started moving quickly to the door, Childe following close behind. How was i going to find my hat??

Touching the door knob, i turned around facing childe. right at that moment i realized childe was naked...deadass. Oh what a GREAT way to start off my day. 

Scaramouche: childe...

Childe: yes?

Scaramouche: (turning to face the door) where the hell are your clothes

Childe: huh?

Childe looked down to see that in fact, he had no clothes on. At that moment, he started inching back into a corner of the room.

Childe: I-I dunno

Scaramouche: well thats um... I'll get you some clothes

Childe: we are MILES from civilization

Scaramouche: Dont be over dramatic

Childe: overdramatic? me? what about the one who was freaking out over his hat?

Scaramouche: childe you are getting on my last nerves, do you WANT clothes or not

Childe stayed silent with a tomato red face in the corner. Taking that as a "yes bitch i want clothes" I went out the door. Smelling the wet mud and wood felt satisfying. It created a feel of relief. Sadly i didn't have another mere second to enjoy it when childe came out the shed.

Scaramouche: WHAT

Childe: i cant leave you out there alone, you look so tiny that everyone would mistake you as a child

Scaramouche: what

Childe: I'm saying you suck and you need my help

Scaramouche: I'm looking at a grown ass man who cant use chopsticks, shut the hell up

I started walking around the forest to realize that we were on a cliff of trees, not a forest. Staggering to the edge of the cliff, I peaked over to see a small town, a small town painted in red. 

Childe: did we kill everyone there

Scaramouche: no, thats not my style of murder. I wonder how were going to get down here.

I looked at childe's hand scowling. 

Childe: I knew you were useless without me

Scaramouche: just do it.

Childe used his weak ass bow to summon a water whale, rising from the very edge of the cliff. Against the bright morning sun, the whale looked like a gift from the gods. The light touching it's watery form made it so elegant, i wish i had been looking at that sight forever. Well all was really cool and all until i forgot that it has some type of weight and it hung over the side of the cliff creating a big splash. 

That stupid splash had me and childe DRENCHED. I spit out the water in annoyance while childe tilted his head back laughing.

Scaramouche: i don't know how to ride water childe

Childe what did you WANT me to do

Scaramouche: make a water bridge cause you can make water have some type of a solid form???

Childe: ohhh, i thought you ment create a waterfall

Scaramouche: you're carrying me down this thing

Childe: riding water isn't that easy, I cant carry you

I turned by back to the cliff with a tactic in mind

Scaramouche: then stop me from falling

Childe: what-

I fell back off of the cliff, allowing the wind to carry through me. Childe jumped down, riding against the waterfall until we were neck and neck.

Childe: Comrade what suicide mission is this?

Scaramouche: pick me up 

Childe sighed and grabbed me by the waist. I knew he was good at gliding down water but i had never thought he would be this focused. He was squinting, trying to pinpoint when he will jump. With great force near the end of the fall, he sprung forward, letting go of me mid air

Scaramouche: CHILDE

I fell with a thud on the wet grass while childe landed ON FOOT completely dry. I refused to look at him as we neared the town for various reasons. We had gone to the entrance.

Childe: wow, this place is kinda dead.

Scaramouche: yeah I've noticed, now stay here and hide

Childe: why?

Scaramouche: WHY??? YOU HAVE NO CLOTHES DUMBASS

Childe: ohhh yeah... I forgot.

I started walking through the town of dust. Blood splatters were across the whole town. I looked to my left to see a broken sign that read "Clothing attr"

people didnt know how to spell huh.

I walked in to find a PERFECTLY clean store. I peaked my head outside and then in again.

Scaramouche: Thats sus...really sus.

I walked in and picked out the most plain clothes i could find. I looked at a gray hoodie like shirt.

Childe: thats not my size

Scaramouche: WHAT THE FUCK

Childe: Hello!

Scaramouche: i told you to stay at the entrance

Childe: and i didnt want to listen

Scaramouche: just find something and put it on.

After what seemed to be forever, Childe picked out something similar to what he normally wears. After changing, he started bragging about how "swaggy" he looked. I paid no mind.

Scaramouche: do you remember anything that happened last night

Childe: I remember patting you on the head and the dawn winery.

Scaramouche: THE WINERY! I LEFT MY HAT IN THE LOST AND FOUND.

Childe: oh riiight

Im coming for the dawn winery
